    +1 to what sharkymcshark said.

    I love the more toy-accurate colours. I've seen and handled liegeprime's MP Rodimus Convoy's trailer, and it's basically just an upsized version of the G1 toy's trailer really... not worth paying extra for IMO.

    It seems that Hasbro has lost the rights to the name Firebolt, which is a shame... they should've gone with Firebolt's alternate name in G1, Sparks - but maybe they were unable to secure the rights to that name too. Ah well, at least Offshoot is spelt correctly (do not want another Grappel debacle)... although "Fireblot" would've sounded hilarious. (not sure if Blot would appreciate the humour though )

    Very cool! It's almost tempting to get this and keep it as hot Rod, and then the MP version to use as Rodimu; adding the color changes helps it feel like some actual changes were made when the Matrix aged him
    i do NOT Play with toys...

    But I DO occasionally do scale model assisted simulations in physical fight dynamics.

    If it has all the design/QC problems of the Takara original, then no thank you.

    If those have been fixed for the Hasbro release, then yes please.

    It's possible they couldn't use Firebolt as it's a broomstick from Harry Potter so there may have been trademark legalities. That aside... if he's less then $100 (leader class price) then I might pick him up. If TRU do a "MP Ghost Starscream" I'll enjoy looking at him shelf warming for the next couple of years.

    Keep you're optics peeled, he has been sighted at Toys R Us in Canada, so surely he will be here soon. (considering it is nearly the end of July )

    Will this be available in stores other than TRU, since my nearest TRU is 4 hours away And I definitely need this guy, he's fabulous!

    Unlikely, I think it is a Toys R Us exclusive. Doesn't leave you with many options to be able to get one, could get someone to grab one for you and ship it to you, or meet up with them later. Other option is online really.
