It really is just a modern day G1 blockformer TF toy with just slightly improved articulation than those toys had..if this was the Roddy we got in the 80's, it would probably be everyone's favourite G1 toy.
In short, its like unpaxking a presents that you didn t want. It started out exciting, but the more you looked it, it started to show there inprofections. And at the end, you ends up been dissapointed.
The Hot Rod car mode reminds me of Combiner Wars Breakdown in that it looks like somebody carved it out of a block of plastic and decided "eh, good enough". Both of those cars look like what someone thought a 1970s-80s car looks like.
I have the Rodimus Unicronus version and....yeah, the only saving graces are the general shape of the truck, the gimmick itself, and the way they combine. TBH, only got one coz I wanted to study the engineering for some combining mecha ideas of mine, but I'm having second thoughts about keeping him, especially when I've been building my CHUG collection, including my preordered Kingdom Rodimus
Real talk, I chose this version over the Kingdom Commander class because I already have Rodimi that do the usual stuff. But PotP at least attempts something different and ambitious, and even though it falls short of the mark I still respect it.
Great review of POTP Leader Rodimus! To be honest, I really like this figure but I think I will like Kingdom Rodimus Prime way better than this figure once I get him.
Considering I bought this guy when he was new, and I don't feel like spending the money on Kingdom Rodimus, he makes a perfectly fine Rodimus for the collection
Was actually just thinking about Kingdom Prime... 'Do we really need another Rodimus Prime? We just had one?' Annnd now Im reminded why we do. Lol! I must have suppressed how gappy and shite POP Rodimus Prime was.
2:55 Rodimus Prime was always a metaphor for growing into adulthood so that's 100% on brand.
Man, you’re the gift that keeps on giving. Don’t work yourself too hard!
Oh do not worry
"A bit of a cavalier attitude." I see what you did there. Surprised Repugnus didn't jump on you for that one!
Repugnus is still high from sniffing his own farts during his BIG SPECIAL EPISODE
@@russellharrell2747 I figured it would be something like that.

I would like to say how nice it is to hear a fellow Scot do quality reviews in a market dominated by those across the pond. Well done!
Looking forward to this, Gavin!
Gotta wonder what sunny fields you've been walking in.
The ones that are full of cow shit hidden in tall grass
The end cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome humor, awesome channel!
I love walks in a sunny field actually.
Impossible
As a fair skinned ginger fellow I will say that yes a walk in a sunny field isn’t as pleasant as all that
hahaha there should be one good figure of this cool guy right? RIGHT?!
If you put the small Hot Rod arms up to make a popped collar of exhaust pipes, it looks way better.

A man has one bad experience on a school trip in grade 5 and suddenly all field walks are shite
Hey at least we got a black bad bot out of it.
And for this video. You got subscriber
Don't worry Gav I'm sure you won't have to wait for much longer for a good Roddy

What is life, if not Power of the Primes Rodimus?

Thanks! I think I’ll pick him up after the review!
This is a true Scottish Transformers reviewer
mate SS86 Hot Rod is available at Smyths rn if you really want one, they've had him for a bit
Ach I just had an order in with Scourge and had to wait until they were both in stock before they'd send it. Got my confirmation email today!
Great video 😊 thanks for the upload👍👍👍

I think this gimmick would have worked well with Star Saber, but IDW had to turn him into a bad guy so nobody wanted to vote for him. Oh well.
It's like taking a walk in a sunny field, the longer you go, the worse your allergies get 🥴
Am I the only one who thinks the engineering for some of the conversions of this figure was inspired by armada optimus prime? TELL ME IM WRONG!
I didn't hear much about this figure, I just thought it looked cool.
But uh.
Oh dear.
No wonder the next Rodimus will be a Commander without the size.

Banana flavored Matrix 😂
You seem conflicted. Seems as if you want to like it... but you can't quite get there.
I am a Rodimus Prime fan for a long time but this is a disappointment for me. He doesn't even look the same in Power of the Primes.
If you're gonna point out the garbage, ya gotta include those damn wheel clips! Curse Hasbro and their cheap wheel clips. Haha
*comically thick New York accent* Rodimus? More like “whadda mess!” But seriously, folks...
