Classics Rodimus [Hot Rod]

I have an affinity for Hot Rod the Autobot Cavalier aka Rodimus (Sometimes, Prime). I am really glad Transformers: Cybverse, incorporated him in from the get-go.

At first this figure left me a bit cold. Yes its true he has many limitations, mostly where it comes to the articulation. Its a bit weird how Classics Optimus Prime has so much more articulation in comparison.
However, Classics Rodimus has grown on me, and I've come to view him as a better, my more preferred representation of Hot Rod than his Titans Return counterpart - Who though more articulated. Fails at looking like Hot Rod in robot-mode.

I like Hasbro's color choices here. No its not exactly the maroon from the cartoon, but it is a good deep shade of dark red. I like his spoiler better and that also is a deep yellow color which appeals to me.

Just wish his fist holes could hold more than his own weapon!

Ishtar In Space [The Rise of Skywalker]

Its quoted, by Doomcock that someone in the Disney Star Wars writers room congratulated the writers on making "Ishtar in Space". This happened in regard to retconning Rey, to be the Chosen One and the Last Hope of the Galaxy. The figure Yoda alluded to Obi-Wan to, in The Empire Strikes Back.


Think about that.

Yoda clearly meant Princess Leia, but Disney couldn't even let that stand and needed to supplement even Leia's place in the canon, for Rey. A PALPATINE as the Last Hope of the Galaxy.

Never mind making a Palpatine the Apex hero of the Skywalker Saga a huge narrative, and storytelling blunder. But its not really a blunder on their part as its all part of the agenda. Disney has for whatever reason, always loathed the Skywalker family.   

If you don't know, Ishtar, is a notoriously bad movie.

So how bad is The Rise of Skywalker?

Seemingly so bad, that usually reliable Disney shills have already come out and begun to pan the movie. Even they can see the train wreck that this film is.

The Leaks Are Real [Rise of Skywalker]

Doomcock was correct, his sources are real and The Rise of Skywalker is a dumpster fire that destroys the Original Trilogy.

Rey Palpatine, steals the Skywalker name and becomes the Chosen One.

Someone by the name of ProfessorHov, posted the Opening Crawl, which is a clear clue to exactly what sort of disaster this film is and how it stomps on the Skywalker Legacy and over all of Star Wars.

EPISODE IX THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope

of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power....

*The original Reddit leaks look to have been more or less on target, and of course Doomcock reported how those leaks and the film kept being reshot, and edited differently following really awful test-screenings.
