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!
I got my copy from
Siebertron.com's eBay store.
