TFW2005 Board Member Peaugh has been kind enough to give us a delightful surprise on this seemingly ordinary Saturday; He has provided both a Pictorial and Video review of Transformers Animated Rodimus Minor!
To see his thoughts on the figure, you can check out the video review embedded below and see his pictorial review by clicking on the title of this story!

When you put it on, does it like… dangle around… or is it sensitive to the touch, where if you budge it, it'll fly off?
If it's overly sensitive and flys off whenever you try to move it, then the ball joint is to BIG, or the hole is to Small.
Also would explain why superglue didn't work, and made it worse.

My Rodimus's right arm keeps coming off the ball joint. I put some superglue on the ball, left it to dry and put the arm back but it didn't work, it made it worse. Now i can't transform him without his arm coming off. If anyone has any ideas, i'd really appreciate the help. Thanks.

It would be nice if Hasbro made us a little Trailer and Armor for Our "little Chosen one"

I slot mine either side of the black part that holds his gold spoiler, pointing down. Brings the bow higher up his back and makes it follow the contour of the spoiler. Not completely loose but it sits there well enough as long as you don't wave the figure about.
It's a pity really the slats that fit in the slots aren't a few millimeters longer as that'd make both back robot storage and the normal vehicle storage much better. Lengthening those by a little really wouldn't have negatively affected anything else.

I posted something like that in last years cool thread

It fits into the same slots it fits into while in car mode. It doesnt sit in there very securely on my figure but it can fit there if the figure isnt moved.

Sorry to bring this back up, but can someone show how does his bow exactly store on his back?
Pics would be nice.

Freakishly I just found this out myself today (dunno if it's mentioned elsewhere in this thread, which is still on my to-fully-read list). It's about as snug and stable as clipping it normally in alt mode (which in my experience isn't much) but it's still cool. Just one of those times you look at a figure and their weapon and decide 'This has to store away somehow', especially on a TFA figure.

This has Probably been discovered and posted already, but i was Transforming Rodimus into robot mode the other day and i was looking at the tabs on his bow that makes it able to fit on top in alt mode, and i found that, with a little care, his bow can store on his back.
Ace Convoy
wonderful just wonderful.

I was begining to think I'd never see him, then kapow, found him at TRU as I stopped just by chance.
Great, great figure. Lots of fun, neat transformation.
EDIT: I'm an idiot and figured it out. Suburb figure! If only the pipes were able to rotate around he'd be an 11 out of 10.
SPLIT LIP
TBQH, he just looks like he's slouching in the first pic, and the second looks like Magnus told him to stand up straight while they're in public.
The engine block on the chest just looks odd.

Ended up getting a Hasbro version. I have the Takara version but, I have a few paint chips from messing with him. I'll play with the Hasbro version, and admire the Takara one.

Simple, but effective. I like it

So, I came up with alternate Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime transformations for his robot mode. Sorry about the pic quality. I took them with my iPodTouch, whose camera seems to be crap.
