A photo I took of the box before I opened it. It's tall and huge! Asuka's tweeting about it.
The second guy from Scrapheap‘s e-Hobby three-pack is this translucent redeco of Classics Rodimus. He’s blue and greenish with some yellow. He’s supposedly intended to represent the scene in The Transformers: The Movie where Hot Rod is at Optimus Prime‘s deathbed and he catches the Matrix of Leadership as it’s being passed from Optimus to Ultra Magnus.
He’s sort of pretty.
That’s about all I have to say about him.
Also known as "Yoink!" Rodimus.
I’ll be auctioning him soon, whenever I get around to it. I mean, he is sort of pretty, but I don’t need him. I’ve got two many versions of this mold in the house already, and one of them I also need to sell! (Challenge at Cybertron Rodimus) And I’ve got a Transformers Club Side Burn on the way. Yeah, this guy’s got to go. I’ll let you folks know when that happens.
I’m actually much more interested in the box’s art than I am this little blue Rodimus. We’ll see if I can cram in images of both it and this toy. If not, the box wins out. Sorry, Rodimus!
UPDATE: Whoops, looks like you’ll have to go to TFWiki to see the car mode.
It was only after years of having the original Classics Hot Rod that I realized his waist was supposed to shift forward in robot mode. Since discovering that, I like the toy so much more.
So… does he taste like blueberry candy or does he taste like Scope mouthwash? I’d have to say the latter, just cuz of his look – ugh! Lol!
And will SG Ravage start a Twitter war with Asuka?

I hope not. Ravage won’t win that one.
I like the color scheme on that figure. I could see that as a new character.
Yeah, pretty but generally useless. I now some collectors are crazy for clear Transformers, but I really don’t know why.
I repurposed blue clear Rodimus as an “Avatar of Primus” so he’d serve some kinda purpose in my collection and I could justify keeping him. It helps that I don’t own the big Primus planet figure
Willis, I just noticed that you have the both a monitor and a table it resides on very similar to those I have.
