Rodimus is the story of life, at first your young and full of life, but once you get an ounce of responsibility, all the life leaves your face and you long for the days where youre young and stupid
Honestly I love this guy, but I feel like the only way I’ll get this bloke is if they put him in studio series with the proper colours and a different head that doesn’t look like my father if he didn’t smoke so much.
I got all of my Commander class toys at various cheapo close-to-leader class launch prices (one big retailer gets them first at bulk), and I decided that I like Rodimus the most. It's really surprising how many parts go into Rodimus when you compare him to the (otherwise excellent) Earthrise Optimus Prime's cab. It makes me wish both Optimus and Ultra Magnus were Commander class toys to do their trucks justice.
I've been meaning to pick up Rodimus for a few weeks now, so I'm glad you enjoy him to make me feel better about my inevitable splurge. I'm not saying you forgot or didn't know as opposed to just not highlighting it but I've seen elsewhere he's got individual index finger articulation and that's weirdly exciting for me.
It’s probably exciting because this is a mainline Hasbro figure that has individual fingers. Used to have to go 3rd party for those. Maybe they’re finally realizing most people would buy the official stuff if they matched the third party features.
I’ll admit I’m new to Transformers, but I’m always surprised that trailers don’t turn into like, armour or a shield or big legs or something. It’s surprising to me they’re actually mostly used for storage, like a real trailer.
That final twist threw me for such a loop that I had to rewatch the video just to remember what I actually wanted to comment on. All it was was: I appreciate the casual Furmanism.
was lucky enough to find him in a store (first time a big bot made it to a store in France) Wasn't planning on getting him but I just jumped on him, love him. Trailer is fine but the fact that you can open the door and fit a car is very nice
He's down to £60/€70 in Smyth's now, picked him up today and don't feel ripped off! Definitely wouldn't have felt right forking out over €100 like they were initially asking.
I want it but yeah, £85 is a bit much for me. I spent that much on Skylynx and didn't regret it cos that guy is a chunky dream, but this feels kinda like it's not quite to Skylynx levels of value. I'm sure I'll change my mind the moment I have it though like the easily fooled rube I am.
Man, I can't wait for this to go on a discount locally, currently Amazon MX wants over 100 bucks for him and that's a big no-no, but if he gets to say, 50 bucks like Sky Lynx did, I would actually go for it.
This is a fantastic figure, but like you said, it would be more worth it on a discount. I saw this in a Toys R Us recently and was tempted to get it. Maybe next time when it's price is lowered.
I've not seen one in stores. Which is probably good since I'd buy it. I'll just keep having Titanium Rodimus as my R Prime for now. Not as big or impressive but 1/8th the price msrp ignoring inflation and Winnebago mode baked in makes up for a lot.
This bastard is 110 euro. Up from 90 for the previous Commanders. But hey, at least now he's a tenner cheaper. Thanks Hasbro. *Sigh* This figure looks fantastic and fun to mess with, but there's no way I can see that he could justify being more expensive than Jetfire and Sky Lynx. EDIT: I just snagged him because he went down to 70 euro. Here's hoping it makes a nice me-gift for Christmas. Another EDIT: Got it on Christmas day and I still can't stop transforming this thing, it's heaps of fun.
typical that, bolstered by a fresh paycheck, I grab this guy from Smyths for full price, and then the fuckers go and knock 20 quid off it 3 weeks later.
I'm here for the deep TRDQ lore first and the transformer reviews second, so this video really speaks to me.
I second this notion. First I was here for a quick transformers fix but now it's become so much more
These videos never disappoint.
Two Repugni... I never thought I'd see the day.
Another brilliant review, Gavin!
Rodimus is the story of life, at first your young and full of life, but once you get an ounce of responsibility, all the life leaves your face and you long for the days where youre young and stupid
You can feed the huge cannon through the top front of the trailer too, and that looks really awesome if you do it right
HOW?.
Honestly I love this guy, but I feel like the only way I’ll get this bloke is if they put him in studio series with the proper colours and a different head that doesn’t look like my father if he didn’t smoke so much.
God mate, it’s good to see your videos again, bloody great

Which retailer?

It's very good - I can't really go into everything and remain fairly quick but it definitely helps to be able to point his finger

Some of them do, the Unicron Trilogy had a couple of figures that had that as well as some Bayverse figures
3:20 “minutes of fun” made me huff out my nose with a little laugh. ‘Twas a good one Gavin
Holy cow... cliff hanger ending!
"Yeah, like this? _[POP!]_ Pretty good, huh?"🤣
I wasn't expecting the evil doppelganger plot twist

I got this figure for $60 during Black Friday, worth it at that price.
Repugnus laugh will haunt me
I noticed that a lot of people say that 3rd party and masterpieces have weird parts that scrape or something. I don't any yet
“Rodimus Prime? OPTIMUS PRIME?”
He seems so cool, but I’m sticking with my also excellent 86 hot rod
Man I'm still trying to decide which I want
Rodimus got that nice sword
Hot rod has other neat stuff too
They're both really good
@@dungeonsanddragonsbutformo9835 Can't go wrong either way

That matrix in the chest was a nice touch!

I think i actually beat the notifications
the ending.. the plot thickens!!
Dammit, you may have pushed me over into wanting this.
Yep, only on sale
Oh no! The end tho!! WHAT A TWIST!

Ok that ending GOT ME. 😆
Come for Rodimus (the mature leader that hardly anyone likes) but stay for Repugnas' giddy laugh!
OH SHITE! NEMESIS REPUGNUS!!!
Flippin'eck! You just saved me twenty quid Gavin!
LE GASP!
This bastard is 110 euro. Up from 90 for the previous Commanders. But hey, at least now he's a tenner cheaper.
Thanks Hasbro.
*Sigh*

Hey, are you gonna get the commander Motormaster when he comes out with the stunticons?
Oh 100%
The plot thickens.
"minutes of fun" 😂
Got bot ture, takes the weight of transformers toys and compares them, and if I remember right, the trailer/huge gun takes up a ton of plastic budget.
nice
Oh shit Evil clone arc time
You'd think the plural of Repugnus would be Repugnii, but actually the plural of Repugnus is Trouble.
Judd Nelson as hot rod/rodimus prime
NEW GAVIN LORE DROPPED
????WAT???! there 2 of them??
Oh my God, which one is the real Repugnus? And who is this imposter? Sunguper???
Repugnus was duplicated in a transporter accident
typical that, bolstered by a fresh paycheck, I grab this guy from Smyths for full price, and then the fuckers go and knock 20 quid off it 3 weeks later.
glad you feel the same way about pulse gav! it's an absolute shit show at best
Goddamn I want this guy, but goddamn is he expensive.
That RRP is an absolute joke, I will stick to my shitty potp Rodimus thank you very much.
TBH this one looks pretty ugly to me... for everyone’s least favourite Autobot leader, nothing comes close to MP-09!
Two Repugni?! Repugnarly!!!
Great figure, terrible pricing
_Repugniplural_
So your new review location is heaven now? So white and clean...
Well not perfectly clean... It's got two "repugnant" things lurking around.
The figure it self is good, but I'm not gonna lie, besides the function in the car mode, the trailer is junk.
Also, Repugnus has a TWIN BROTHER!?
How do you and emgo share a mascot gimmick but Emgo's mascot makes me want to off myself and your mascot is actually capable of producing real comedy
This guy is a skip for me he’s over priced really only a 64.99
Who? Gavin?
