    Default Commander Class Rodimus Prime revealed

    Amazon Japan have posted images of Commander Class Rodimus. We can see the trailer for the first time and we have large, clear images of the robot and car modes.

    Now I just want to know how big the robot mode is...

    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    I like it for the most part, but I hope the car can be pushed further into the trailer. Looks like the tower on the battle platform could be removed too.

    Rodimus will be at BigW's mid-year toy sale, before it shows up at other stores.

    I'd say not as you can see the spoiler wedged right up into the trailer.

    The guy ain't cheap. At 14300 yen RRP. I likes the look of him though and have placed an order. They've managed to keep him fairly well secret as well which I think is impressive.

    I was thinking maybe the spoiler can be moved forward to allow the car to go further back, but that's probably very wishful on my part.

    Anyone got Earthrise Prime and SS86 Hot Rod? I'd reckon Rodimus will be as tall as Prime

    So all around a rather short "Commander Class" compared to say Jetfire and Sky Lynx

    Rodimus is supposed to be leader class, like how SS'86 Hotrod was at a higher price point because of the parts count required for the articulation and accessories.

    This is good to know. Cos that look like a fantastic older and grumpier Rodimus

    Love it, will buy it buuuuut....

    Why another Hot Rod vehicle front end? We just had one. Did someone see that AKOM animated episode and think "yep, make it a small Hot Rod that leaves the trailer behind "

    Why not go the G1 Toy or MP9 route? That way the vehicle mode would look a lot more cohesive IMO. Sky Lynx was just the G1 toy with more articulation & people ate that up.

    Unpainted hubcaps? Come on, Hasbro, this isn't some $29 deluxe class figure. I'd rather them ditch the Sword of Primus and give me silver rims

    I do think that spoiler is hinged and allows the cab to go further back
