Thanks to Brazilian site Hobby Brinquedos, we have with us some more official stock images from the Transformers: Generations Platinum Edition “Rise of Rodimus Prime” set.
The set features Rodimus Prime and Galvatron, who use the Titanium Rodimus Prime and Universe Galvatron molds respectively.
This new image reveal came at a rather appropriate time as this is the 30th Anniversary of Transformers: The Movie.
Check out the images, after the jump.
Rodimus Prime
Titanium Scourge is probably the best one out of the series.

The absolute stupidest platinum set ever.
These guys are getting new, honestly fantastic looking new molds… and they used the f***ing shittiest mold each of the characters have ever received. Just… wow.
You know what they could have done? A fair number of people are complaining about the (admittedly optional (I think)) headmaster/titanmaster gimmick that TR Galvatron and TR Hot Rod have. They could have used those molds in the platinum edition and retooled them to have non-Titanmaster, G1 styled heads, and added some extra spot to hide the Titanmasters or something.
They'd have sold like beer in a dry fort. Or at least better than how the set is actually going to sell (i.e. more than 50 people would buy them)

j.a.f.o.

The best version of that Galvatron mold is still the one that came with the set Decepticon Specialists.

Maybe, I like the box and would be great the pair together!

Well, the sheen on Rodimus implies it'll have diecast. That's a shame, because I was hoping they'd recast it in plastic, but there are obvious issues with that which they'd have to compensate for. Oh well.
I'd still be keen to get this set one day. I'd rather not pay high import prices, but I've always wanted to play with Titanium Rodimus and Universe Galvatron, even if they are very flawed toys.
TFXProtector
No, but you do get two poseable paperweights, so there's that.
Rodimus Prime
I hope so. Even if they call him Hot Rod because of the trademark being obtained again, at least make a Rodimus figure.
UltraMagnanimus
So they take two sh@tty figures, put em in a huuuge shiny box and charge extra for them. Does it come with a free bottle of snake oil too?
T-Logicon
I would have liked this set to be g1 reissues. Both molds are still around, and with movie anniversary, it'd be fitting. Granted, neither toy (in their respective g1 versions) are really all that spectacular, but both are exponentially better than these 2. Plus, a reissue set would bring in WAY more money than this garbage.
I have them both – they're not that great. There's nothing about either figure that says platinum other than the price.

Can't recall the last time a Titanium figure saw the light of day…
…. Should have stayed in the dark.
Galvatron isn't bad. Nice shiny finish. But still, this set just doesn't seem worth it. I would have preferred classics Hot Rod or hell, I would have taken a Legends version from any series.

All they had to do was make a Titans Return voyager Rodimus Prime to go with Galvatron in wave 1 instead of Sentinel Prime.
Oh I'm sorry, that makes too much sense for Hasbro, the company that is giving us Headmasters with no body to go with it.

Is that MP-10's matrix?
Nevermore
I can't help but LOL at the mistransformed tank mode.
Turakonin Prime
Um. Lol I've never owned that Rodimus mold. So that's a new turd for me, no need to polish. Granted still a turd. Better than the new TR voyager Galvatron. That thing is trash. I destroyed, dissected , and redistributed him to other worthy trash bots. Lol

Ugh. Why?
I have been griping about the Platinum stuff forever…and my gripes were confirmed by a loose tongued Hasbro guy at Botcon this year….some sets are fine…the cone heads in a box is cool, and Trypticon, but a lot are just way too expensive for such recent figures…and Titanium Rodimus is such a clunky toy, not to mention shrunken Voyager class Galvatron…now, the Target movie set with Magnus etc looks great…but this…is a reach.
Liege Prime
I beg to differ about Rodimus. He sucks not because of the metal but because his horrible proportions with his head and chest jutting forward past his waist. Oh, and his chest flips up with his arms if you try to swing them up. If they redesigned his torso, he could be decent, but the metal in his legs are fine.
Either way, this is an easy pass. Both these molds were hard to like and accept when they came out, let alone years later.
Underlord
Hmmm, no thanks. I've already got the universe Galvatron, and while he's not everyones cup of tea I like him for what he is. He was good enough six years ago as a standard release, but now when we have the TR version, and this is a premium set? You're having a laugh!
