5 out of 5 stars Well-made figure   August 6, 2007
Justin Pierce (Madison, WI United States)
This is a surprisingly solid figure for a Transformer. Often Transformers can be flimsy because they're full of moving parts, but this stands well on a desk even after you've transformed the heck out of it. Rodimus' arm cannon accessory is cool and integrates into the vehicle as a jet engine thingy, but it's still going to get lost after a while. These things happen!


5 out of 5 stars And you'll die trying just like Megatron!   April 13, 2007
Jared Bryant (Huber Heights, Ohio United States)
I'm one of the weirdos that liked Rodimus Prime. His character had depth, arguably the most in all of G1 next to Star Scream. So I had to buy this figure. Excellent. Transformation is very smooth. Acurate alt mode and robot mode. Love it. Definitely worth the $10 it'll cost you in a retail store. Look out in the wild first.


5 out of 5 stars A good Hot Rod!   January 26, 2007
Caleb Anderson (Iacon, Cybertron)
This Hot Rod does justice to his name, energon series he was a truck!
In armada he was Hot Shot, a yellow car....but this is the true Hot Rod..all G1 style right down to the flames and the saw exchanging hand!!



4 out of 5 stars Second best From teh new line !   January 18, 2007
Denver Duane Starkey (Texas US)

After getting both the star scream and the rodimus , and seeing the others on shelves , I'd ahve to say that the rodimus is the second most accurate to his cartoon form.

His cor form is dead on accurate to teh cartoons, one issue i avhe with this toy si that the head could have been larger on teh robot mode as wella sthe fact his chest seems higher up than his head, wich detracts from his accuracy.
other that that the head , and the toy in both modes are very well detailed and articulate. i never owned teh original hod rod or rodimus prime toys so i can't really compare his transforming to those lines, but as a general rule his is a bit complicated for change i would definitely not recomend him for 5 year olds, maybe 7 or 8 eyar olds but i think hasbro shot low with this line because i ehar some fot eh others are a bit easy to change and are more like "shell-formers" tahn good ol' transformers :P, another peeve i have with this is that hasbro opted to use the name rodimus instead of hot rod, he wasnt calle3d rodimus until he had become teh new autobot leader at the end of the movie when he took the full name rodimus prime, but i' am not rating the toy on it''s name , this is jsut a tiny thing i supsoe doesnt matter much given that technically both names can be used for him.



5 out of 5 stars Hot Rod looks great!   January 12, 2007
J. Decelles (North Chelmsford, MA United States)

This renditionof Hot Rod (also known as Rodimus) is one of the gems of the Transformers: Classics toyline.

This toy is suprisingly solid in both forms and the attention to detail and quality is impressive. His car mode looks most like his G1 cartoon/movie version than any of the other Classics Transformers except perhaps Starscream.

I especially like the way his gun turns into a jet engine (like the one on the Batmobile) for the rear of the car in car mode. One of the worst things about the original transformers was keeping track of their accessories, but with this latest line of toys the weapons are usually integrated into the vehicle mode somehow. This is one of the best examples of that integration.

the only thing I could really find to nitpick about this toy is the lack of an Autobot symbol on the hood, but that isn't nearly enough to keep me from giving this toy 5 stars for its great transformation, solid feel and amazing poseability (especially compared to the original)
