TFW2005 board member yizhi521 has just stopped by to give us some new closer pictures of the prototype for the new Takara Masterpiece, Rodimus Prime! As shown earlier, Rodimus’ trailer will open up to reveal a rather large cannon a la G1 Rodimus Prime, however, now we see clearer shots of Rodimus’ robot mode!
Will this have any gimmicks? Will be it be in scale with other Masterpiece figures? Join the conversation and see more pictures by clicking the title of this story!

I do indeed, thats why I came here first. The CG/CAD speculation images of MP-09 are buried 30 pages deep on this topic, so I was hoping any people involved in that discussion could point me towards any MP-10 engineering speculation. Im already checking that thread but I didnt see and CG/CAD images pop up yet.

You realize that this is an old thread about MP-09 Rodimus before it was released and not the recently announced MP-10?
They're talking about the "one touch transformation" here.

Has anyone started a thread or discussion, figuring out how the engineering on MP-10 works with the "one touch transformation?" I loved the detective work of our fan base last time, and Im itching to see if we can do it again.

WELL HEY YOUR rIGHT ABOUT THAT AND I THINK IT A CHALLENGE TO TRANSFORM IT AND THE NEW EXPERIENCE I LOVE HOW THEY DID THE FLAMES AND THE NEW FUTURES ON THE NEW ROMIMUS PRIME AND HOT ROD.
Lord-Starscream
WOW
WOW I THINK ITS PRETTY COOL I CANT WAIT TO GET IT I ALSO THINK IT A CHALLENGE TO TRANSFORM IT LOL THE OLD ONE g-1 WAS WAY TO EASY WELL….CANT WAIT TO HAVE IT IN MY HANDS.

Yes, they announced it at Botcon. No pics yet though.
MrFX
True. I think I'd join the club for that.
PoweredConvoy
Yeah MP Rodimus redecoed into Sideburn/Speedbreaker is a silly idea. It works for the Classics figure because with the right paint it can pass as him. That's not the case with the MP figure.
A blue version of MP Rodimus would look nice, just not as Sideburn.
Randy
Blitz.
hang on wait…. the next free toy will be a RiD sideburn classics roddie? that might actually be worth joining the club for… and getting the blue FP armour for (cuz you know their going to make it if their going to make armour for the super rare black repaints)
Pun-3X
Yes, the deco is flames…
…of ICE!!!
(if you take me serious, I say it's your own damn fault)
Personally I'll be happy with the original. Only MP repaints that ever had any kind of sense for me were the Seekers. One shall do just fine, if I decide to pick him up.
Jarodimus
I think you might:
Never gonna happen.
Oh, and even though he's blue, Sideburn still has a flame deco, not ice.
Orion_Prime48
I think you might need to reread that

An RID Masterpiece redeco, idea cribbed from the United States Collector's Club 2011 free figure? Don't hold your breath.

I prefer the Rid sideburn name & colors on the MP Rodimus Prime repaint.
because it's the ice colors oppossite of rodimus fire colors.
also TCC is doing a 2011 freebie Rid sideburn toy using the classics 1.0 rodimus toy.
anyways CR/RID Speedbreaker/sideburn had regular blue colors & power up red colors.
PoweredConvoy
He apparently had a slightly different color scheme at the end of the G2 comic. Think his normal comic's purple and silver with more yellow (or so I've been told).

Did I miss a Rodimus in G2 somehow?
I see the aforementioned black (not SG), Hate Plague red, and "Matrix Glow" translucent blue as the only real candidates.
Bgrngod
G2 coloration? Eh? Not sure what else they would do. There is always the fallback Black and White coloration they could go with for no good reason. Pretty much no chance this would ever get a Shattered Glass deco outside of customs.
PoweredConvoy
Yeah they were very limited. They're very nice too and I wouldn't be surprised if one if not both are planned redecos of MP Rodimus.

Well, it gives the fans an option…. if you can afford it and you like then, it's your choice whether to buy it or not. for example, I didnt even buy the Starscream masterpiece until they release the Ghost Version. I was speculating that it would eventually come out. And patience is not even built into my vocabulary, yet I displayed the virtue. I guess I would say it's just not one of my strengths
PoweredConvoy, I remember Takara releasing that black and clear Hot Rodimus set at some convention awhile ago. If I remember correctly it was limited to 1500 pieces. I got them for $150 per set.
C78-C Crystal Hot Rodimus is my favorite Transformers toy to date and probably the MP Rodimus Convoy when it comes out.
PoweredConvoy
SG Rodimus steals the Titanium Menasor idea if anything, which the Titanium Menasor idea was based on the Takara Black Rodimus reissue from almost 10 years ago. So that's the original.
I don't know how many times I have to explain it to people as it's a ridiculous notion to think that TakaraTomy will base a Black Rodimus redeco on the Shattered Glass version with the goatee. They won't be stealing or borrowing BotCon's idea. They'll probably do a black and gray version (no goatee, no purple) like they did for the Black Rodimus reissue all those years ago.
