Via Mech Fans Toys Weibo we can share images of the colored prototype of the new Mech Fans Toys MS-19 Flame Commander (Legends Scaled Rodimus Prime).
The Legends scaled market sure brings us outstanding small molds and this one is no exception. Flame Commander stands only 12 cm. tall, but it can transform into a cartoon accurate Rodimus Prime with an opening chest with a Matrix, an alt mode that can split into the front car (Hot Rod style) and a trailer which can convert into a battle station for the figure. To top it all, it includes the following accessorizes: 2 guns (can combine into a bigger one), a buzzsaw, and even Hot Rod’s Targetmaster partner Firebolt. We are sure the new colored pictures will really please your optics.
No specific release date or price at the moment, but you can click on the bar to check out the images on this news post, and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Glad to hear it and I hope you enjoy the figure when it arrives.

Thank you for this. I just ordered mine from the same store. Hope my copy also comes with added heel piece. Honestly, I've grown very fond of MFT lately even if they don't comapre to NA or MS. To me, they look solid, are fairly cheap, and are fun to mess with. Rodimus should round out my Headmasters collection nicely.

From Transformers Store on Aliexpress.

Where did you get it?

So I got Rodimus today, and he is a great figure. Shoulders are a little restricted when it comes to raising his arms to the side, but otherwise great articulation. I was glad to see that the black leg panels can be left on during transformation. And he looks awesome once you put a symbol on him.
However, I saw a lot of comments about how prone he is to falling over. Mine doesn't really have too much issue with that. I read some comments and saw that they had added a small bit to the heel of the black version, and checked mine. He has it too. So maybe they added it to later runs?

Thank you, I totally missed it!

I was able to find one for $54 after shipping on Aliexpress. Went ahead and bought one. So he is still fairly easy to get, although the seller I bought from seems to be sold out now. Can't wait to add him to my growing Legends+ collection. Already have MFT Galvatron for him to go up against.

A few posts up in the page, magicube gave a link where you could buy the original for $60. Its still available and thats a fair price too.

So shinny!
The extra spoiler is for a pack-in box robot that came with the original release. Some sort of diaclone wanna-be.

Still hoping for a reissue of the regular cartoon deco. Not interested in metallic repaints in general, and the battle damaged version (as expected) looks nothing like those early promo shots.

The 'extra' is a bit smaller so I assumed that it was for Hot Rod mode….. but I know very little about this release.
This is all that I have to hand right now….

Can you take pictures with some Magic Square and NewAge figures just to see how it fits better?

Should be for a mft mech made to look like him. Came with the original release. I’m guessing it’s not there.
SPLIT LIP
Yeah, got mine yesterday, too. He's cool.
What's the extra spoiler for, though?

ShowZ has updated the metallic version to "coming soon," and has sent out payment requests.

I should look into getting him! As well as getting into collecting 3p Legends figures.

This figure is better than MP-09 (IMO). He's easy to transform and great in all modes. Highly recommend.
I even added him to the quintesson box set:

Dumb question but is this figure any good?

The original is available for purchase at ~$60 at this aliexpress store : https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNGFByK
I have bought from them many times before and they have all gone well.
