Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Are g1 metroplex's knee pads exactly the same for both Left and Right?

Yep I'm pretty sure they are. Can anyone else confirm it?

did the korean version of CR brave max come with a techspec card?

Mine didn't. Although, I don't understand Korean, so I guess it's pretty moot. Also, Sonokong seem pretty haphazard with their tech spec cards - my Korean Mach Kick vs. Archadys came with tech specs for Archadys, Guiledart and Magmatron! Buh?! (o_O)

Is there anything that can be done to restore loose ball joints? Namely the two hip joints on my Noisemaze/Sideways.

One potential option is that you can take the hips apart, put clear nailpolish on the ball joints, wait for it to dry and then put it back together.

just a quick question: when did Hot Rod start being named Hot Rodimus????

as far as I knew, he was always Hot Rod, then Rodimus Prime.

but every toy I see of him now (jap or aus) his name is Hot Rodimus.

[GoktimusPrime]

"Hot Rodimus" is what Hot Rod has always been called in Japan, ever since 1986. In Japan Rodimus Prime is called "Rodimus Convoy."

"Rodimus" has become the standard name for Hot Rod now because Hasbro no longer holds the legal rights to the Hot Rod name. When Hasbro released their Hot Rod reissue they called him "Rodimus Major" which was a suck name, so now they just call him "Rodimus." Canonically Hot Rod's name had become "Rodimus" at the end of the Autobot-Decepticon war (re: Pax Cybertronia).
