Transformers Toy Studio Series 86 Voyager Class The Battle for Cybertron 1986 Autobot Hot Rod Figure - Ages 8+, 16.5cm

Product Information

Car Robots Speedbreaker (aka Robots in Disguise Side Burn) has a powered-up color scheme which resembles Hot Rod's. You know things are bad for good ol' Rod when the best he gets even in the smallest size class is a remake of an 11-year old figure. Originating from the city-state of Nyon, Predestination: A Beginner's Guide Hot Rod destroyed it to keep its population from being painfully, fatally drained to fuel the corrupt Zeta Prime's war machines. Purge

Rodimus's "popped collar" was apparently inspired by Hot Rod fan and TFcon staff member, Daniel "Protoman" Arseneault. [3] If they managed to blast away both asteroids, they reached a vast, empty expanse of space within the asteroid belt. Despite no longer being in danger of being crushed, Hot Rod announced that he had a horrible sense of foreboding about their situation. His feelings of being watched were confirmed when the Decepticons, now invisible, began firing upon them. The Autobots considered retreating, but Kup reminded them that Sarah Sanders had not perfected her device yet, and the Decepticons’ invisibility may yet wear off. Legacy Series action figures are more than just kids’ toys. They’re exciting collectibles for fans of all ages! Perhaps some of the old Rodimus is still in there, but if you want to come looking for it, you better start by telling Ratchet how to dispose of your remains. Rodimus Unicronus bioArcee, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and Springer were trapped in human bodies by Victor Drath and Old Snake, but still managed to foil the pair's plan to destroy Autobot City. They were later successfully returned to their robot bodies. Only Human Rodimus was stationed on Earth when the increasingly violent Cybertronian war obliterated the planet, and he would remember the planet's destruction for many years afterwards. Last Bot Standing #3 Over and over again, innocent species found themselves caught between the two factions and paid the price—including humans, Nebulans, and Klovians—and with each new casualty Rodimus came to believe that his kind didn't deserve redemption. Last Bot Standing #2 Ability: To Battle!: Rush into combat and inspire your allies, giving them an increase to all damage (including abilities) for 5 seconds. Universes continue to collide with Transformers: Legacy! This epic line of Transformers toys brings together fan-favorite characters from across the Transformers multiverse The transformation is a little complex, and the instructions, at least to me, were not very helpful, so it might be a good idea to find a YouTube video where someone talks you through it and points out the spots to be careful with. The legs don't seem to work out so great in alt mode, though thankfully everything tabs into place. These are minor complaints, and I have to say, as someone who's been collecting these off and on since a kid, this is probably one of my Top 5 favorites of all time...maybe even Top 3. Definitely my favorite version of this character.

The crotch plate was retooled on its underside to help prevent it from hitting the ground while in car mode. One of the first concepts for Classics Rodimus was based around the Pagani Zonda super car, before the Dome Zero design was decided upon. Following an Decepticon assault led by Galvatron, Rodimus, alongside Spike, Arcee, and Ultra Magnus were forced into taking cover within the Autobot Mausoleum. This did little to improve their situation, however, as the Decepticons continued their advance. Unexpectedly, Optimus Prime rose from his tomb, providing hope that the tide may yet turn in the Autobots' favour. Rodimus returned the Matrix of Leadership to the resurrected Autobot leader, reverting to Hot Rod in the process. Once in possession of the Matrix, however, Optimus fled for Cybertron, leaving the other Autobots stranded. The Matrix was returned to Hot Rod when Optimus regained his senses, who sacrificed himself once more to undo the Quintessons' trap, much to the chagrin of the Autobots. Dark Awakening
