Product Description

The Revoltech: Hot Rodimus / Rodimus Convoy features 2 different fin/wing attachments that can be used to distinguish between either incarnation; additional accessories would probably include items such as alternate hands and such. The initial prototype imagery suggests an aesthetic based on Rodimusâ?TM cartoon appearance. Inexplicably Hot Rodimus was chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to the Autobotsâ?TM new (temporary) leader. In the process of being pummeled by a pain-crazed Galvatron, Hot Rodimus succeeded in activating the Matrix and was upgraded into a larger and stronger robot. Quickly taking the rein, Rodimus Convoy defeated a disbelieving Galvatron before using the transcendent power of the Matrix to cripple and destroy Unicron.

Hot Rod was always my favorite Autobot and admittedly the old toy didn't really capture the character well from back in the animated days. The Revoltech Hot Rod(imus) on the other hand? Wow. It's him. First off, this is a Revoltech, so it is NOT A TRANSFORMING TOY. But believe me, that's not a bad thing. Hot Rod is so flexible that you can get him into nearly any pose a proper cartoon robot can assume. The paint applications are beautiful and there's even a hint of sparkle to the paint in places. As expected the Revolver joint system holds up well to constant posing and reposing. Now for the problems. The hands are swappable giving you fist variants ranging from thumbs-up to guns. The variation is nice, but the problem is the point of attachment. Most Revoltechs feature interchangeable hands that are solid pieces; Hot Rod's feature glued in posts that are then inserted into the arm at the wrist. The attachment point is so tight that it can (and has) ripped the post free from the hand leaving a stump. It's fixable, but also kind of irritating. Revoltechs are usually better thought out in terms of design, so this was sort of a shocker. Secondly, because he's a Revoltech, he's not very big. I don't have a lot of excess space so I don't mind, but at 4 inches tall I know some people might be a little put off. I will say that despite the problems, I am totally happy with this toy and (to me) he was absolutely worth the money!

He is a very nice figure, granted he doesn't transform, however he does come w/ interchangeable hands.and another head with scope glasses, so you can recreate the scene in the move where he scopes out decepticons from the lookout point!! Amazing detail, if you like hot rod and like the revoltech line he's a great little figure. He is great for displaying but like all the other Tranformer Revoltech figures, his hands tend to break. just pop out the little plug and crazy glue it back to the actual hand and everything should be OK, just be careful when changing the hands. Comes with a stand to create some amazing action poses, if prime had been made like this guy we would be 10X more awesome. Hot Rod fans don't miss out!! Transformer fans get him if you really like him he's a great little figure and is worth [...].

This is my first revoltech figure, I love all the articulation points this figure has and how accurate is to the cartoon character. The paint job is also very good
