Toy Review - RODIMUS PRIME (Kingdom)

[MayzaPrime]

Why!!!!???!?!?!

Why do they have to make every Rodimus also a Hotrod? There was no need and never was...

The overly long car/cab just ruins the entire piece for me. Sure G1 looked stupid without the trailer... but you just made it work and played with it. We had Hotrod and Rodimus, and if I wanted to downgrade I’d park Roddy behind a door and Hotrod would come racing out for a bit.... kill some ‘Cons and then race back.

So you would prefer the alt mode of Rodimus to be like the G1 version that is useless it is connected to the trailer...???

Don’t mind it.... as long as the proportions are better than this junk...

At least MP made it look like it all went together

Considering the effort that went into the transformation process, I feel this figure could have been better designed. Rodimus' bot mode looks good but his vehicle mode is boxy and flatter than I would expect. When the trailer is attached it lacks the cohesion of the G1 original and really looks like the trailer design was shoehorned to just work at the expense of aesthetics or clever engineering.

I think I would have liked a more G1-nny truck and trailer Rodimus Prime, but I don't hate this figure...just a missed opportunity.
