Neither did I when I bought one

FWIW the tary, apron etc. have never left the packaging.

I still think this is suspect until it's officially announced and not some little easter egg.

I'll definitely want to purchase a MP figure of the greatest of all the Primes.

It does look awsome .

chopperbyrne

Want.

I knew you'd be wetting yourself over this.


One true prime indeed :P

"the greatest of all the Primes" is a direct quote about good old Rodimus.

Bah! He wasn't a tenth the leader Optimus was. He whinged about it almost constantly in the 3rd season of the cartoon and was almost as bad in the comics.

If we have to go to post-movie era, I'd rather a Masterpiece Galvatron myself in the same vein as the animated show.

In Color.

It turns into Hot Rod as well.

Tempting.

I must own this.

I'm not even a toy collector, but this figure is just too amazing not to have on display.

As Prime, a bit taller than MP Grimlock.

Rumors of a US release with Targetmaster and no trailer.

It's an interesting turn for the figure if it does happen.

Its not really a masterpiece , its basically what Rodimus should have been in the first place. Pisses me off a bit to be honest. Kinda wanted to have him with Optimus , but oh well :rolleyes:

Just placed my pre-order for MP-09. €168 :eek:

Now, to display as Rodimus or Hot Rod?

I might need two or three at this rate!

If i'm lucky, i'll have mine in two weeks.

And those of you who bought one, and haven't read a feedback thread yet, you probably should.

It's on the delicate side.

Galvasean

I expect detailed reviews guys

I've read a few of the feedback threads and it seems to only be a few people who have received poor quality figures, then about a thousand replies of people who don't have it giving out and several replies of people who have it and have no issues at all.

If i'm *lucky* I'll have it two weeks from now. I went with the slow/cheap option...because i *am* basically cheap.

I don't think it's a disaster by any means...but there are a few thigns to be aware of.

Megatron was definitely.....fiddly. Grimlock, rather more simplistic.

I guess some of us (including me to some extent) had convinced themselves Roddy would sacrifice complexity for the sake of durability.

Doctor DooM

Optimus reviews Rodimus. Pretty funny.
