2005 Boards member (and WTF@TFW podcast guest host) Protoman has shared a very cool video of the recently released Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy (aka Rodimus Prime). Rodimus has an enormous amount of features, so you’d need a 45 minute video to give them proper coverage (which Optibotimus has provided). What this video shows us is a taste of the awesomeness that is Masterpiece Rodimus Prime – including the numerous special edition items only available on the release in Hong Kong, including the huge bag that can hold four of these beauties! Check out the video below, and be sure to visit again in the next few days for even more Masterpiece Rodimus love!

Hahah was waiting for you to chime in on this one ^_^ Let me know what you think when you get it.
Yeah they are pretty old, but not too tough to find still, some Hot Topics STILL have them and I know that Stylin Online (who also come to Botcon and TFcon) have the Prime, Soundwave and Tracks ones EN MASS!

Still not sold on the toy, but I want that T shirt he's wearing.
Anybody know where I can pick it up from?
edit: Saw the earlier post, damn those were released in 2006? Shittttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

Slag losing the Superbowl, this vid (and news of Prime season 2) makes me happy again! Thanks for the review Protoman. I wouldn't expect the first review of the Chosen One to be done by anybody else.
"The hole in your bankaccount is well worth it…we have reached the pinacle!" Well said, man! I couldn't agree more and mine's still awaits delivery in the mail.
If I never collect another TF again I think I can die happy owning this.

i have transformed mine 2 or 3 times with no problem and no brakage. just be awere of you finger placement when transforming him.
Laservampire
I definitely want to see this!
Superquad7
This is exactly how I feel about my collection. Definitely keep me (us) updated, bud
Protoman
I do want to do this, but it will come after I finish setting up my display and all the toys originally in boxes are free to roam wild again.

Then consider this a formal request for a Protoman "All Things Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime" Video series. Yes, take your time for that much awesomeness. You know you want to.
Protoman
I have almost everything ever made…….. just I didn't want to bog down the video with a million toys.
I am missing small silly stuff that no one has even heard of that are difficult to get and throw money at. (If your really curious I can PM a list for people who sell stuff =P)

Man it looks like an awesome figure both as Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime. I will however wait for the Universe Rodimus Prime (if they ever make one) to come out, hopefully not crazy expensive. Good review by the way!!
TwinSpin
That's a lot of Hot Rodomi — but, Protoman, don't you have the tiny transformable SD Takara Rodimus? If not you should. It's awesome
Protoman
Haha Egoraptor, I love you man

Really? That's surprising. I thought it was a just a concept car that was only produced in extremely small numbers. I guess they're not at all in high demand, because the only time you ever hear it mentioned is when someone brings up that Hot Rod was based on it, which is a relatively obscure fact.
Of course, I was just joking, but if there's anybody who actually gets one and turns it into Hot Rod, it'll be you. That would be absurdly awesome. I've seen people who have taken DeLoreans and made them into replicas of the time machine from Back to the Future, and that's probably a lot harder, so it's definitely doable.
Then all you would need is a real life space winnebago… >=)

Does anyone NOT have the spoiler-trailer problem?
Mine is awesome except for the loose visor that falls down from time to time. If there was a way to tighten that up (can the nail polish/krazy glue fix work there) then my MP-9 would be perfect.
Protoman
It's not crazy expensive, but it would be a little difficult to find and in good condition. I am pretty sure I would spend more money on a new BMW ($70,000) then a decent running Dome Zero. One day… one day.
AutoBobby
He's a nice figure and all,but from all the other members that have been putting their two cents worth about their gripes and QC problems,I don't see how this figure is worth the money paid for him.For me Rodimus looks to be one of the weakest of the Masterpiece line.
Gammatron 64
Because honestly, how many of us are freakin' race car drivers?! Unless any of you guys are astronauts, I don't think you're gonna top that.
I'm almost curious to see what his Hot Rod collection looks like, but I'm almost a little scared of what I might see.
You should save up a couple million dollars and buy an actual dome zero, put on a spoiler and paint it like Hot Rod.
