I'm definitely going to be getting this figure as well as the POtP Optimus, despite the few flaws. I love watching your reviews Baltmatrix, you are one of the best and I look forward to them every time!
I think aesthetically I prefer this figure over the PotP Orion Pax/Optimus Prime. Don't get me wrong, OP is great but at the end of the day it's just another G1 styled Optimus. Rodimus on the other hand is just unique and stands out from other versions of the figure.
I prefer the Optimus design, because it looks like MP-10, one of the best Optimus Prime toys ever, and has managed his backpack better than the Rodimus Prime toy, which is so large and doesn't make the toy feel like Rodimus.
I think aesthetically I prefer Potp Orion Pax/Optimus Prime over this figure. Don't get me wrong, HR is great but at the end of the day it's just another G1 styled Rodimus. Optimus on the other hand is just unique and stands out from other versions of the figure.
That name makes sense. It's Shattered Glass Hot Rod upgraded by Unicron. Hence Rodimus (Hot Rod's upgraded Name) Unicronus (A Unicron-Empowered State).
The deluxe sized hot rod is fine, but I can’t find a way to justify buying it at that price for the trailer. Maybe if they rereleased just the hot rod...
It's a good figure, there is an unofficial base mode for the trailer that makes it look like the turret it transformed in original G1 figure, that mode makes this figure much better.
I can just remember that one moment from a few years ago saying, "best figure of time, nothing will be better than this" then I find a figure that I find better.
Thanks for the warning about the back panel on Hot Rod! Also wonder whether it's possible to split the backpack on Rodimus and fold those panels up on the sides, if that would look a little better...
I do like how they swiped the combining gun gimmick of MP09 Rodimus Prime there. Otherwise, it seems that Rodimus Prime, Slug/Slag, & Starscream could've used a few thousand more runs through Quality Control & Design/Engineering to get some things just right. (Rodimus & Starscream seem to have crazy bad issues with tolerances/clearances and they all have issues with parts alignment during transformation)
Have you compared the space winabago with the classics rodimus with the upgrade Kit from fansproject if i remember it correctly they did a very similar thing with the wing...
I have this figure and after my first time splitting the torso and cab apart the roof of hot rod vehicle mode hinge connection started to marr only after being out of the box for only two minutes my other Jhiaxus took at least 6 month to start showing breakage but even with that I still love my figure
I’m honestly surprised you didn’t hate the figure as much as some other people. Personally I think it’s fine. The space winavaga mode looks good along with the car mode. The hot rod mode looks good but has a few lose joints and proportion issues. And the Rodimus prime mode looks good too but the legs being the shoulders is a little wacky but I still think it’s fine.
I like Leader Optimus Prime, I'm Surprised by how good Rodimus Prime Looks, Rodimus Unicronus is a repaint, but I cant wait for Evolutition Optimus Primal to Optimal Optimus! He looks so good!
Another idea is to take the silver part of the matrix and switch it out with the prime version. Other words, the silver part to optimus primes silver matrix and the orange part to rodimus yellow matrix.
I have no interest in the Hot Rod/Rodimus character, but something about this figure made me consider getting it. I ended up not, but every time I watch a review of it I consider it again.
I wish the colors were better on Rodimus Unicronus, instead of shattered glass, maybe lost light or the black rodimus from the masterpiece line. I think those are much better color schemes and they could keep the stache.
I think Power of the Primes won't arrive on Romanian toy shelves until later this year or maybe 2019.Romania just got the 3rd wave of Titans Return figures
I'm living in Sao Paulo Brazil & it's the same situation here mate I used to live in the UK where we got them quite soon so it's extra annoying for me lol
langlest Good for you that you even have legit figures! I live in Finland and we are not getting any of those! Nowadays they just sell some crappy on step shits and some minor deluxes of TLK or RiD 2015...
it's mainly something else that bothers me and I think I know what it is cause stores near me aren't stocking these in, so by the time wave 2 comes in there is only going to be the start of wave 1 at the stores near me not to mention the price of deluxe Transformer figure is at $30 AUD which I can refuse to pay cause stores near me are either fazing out there toy section or wanting to make it smaller. I also refuse to pay more the $25 AUD for a deluxe class figure like the wave 1 dinobots and I also refuse to pay the $15 AUD for a legends class which is only meant cost $10 AUD. I may go for Battletrap if I can find one if not I'll be going for the 3rd Party Transformer figures as I'm getting my money's wroth and I don't mind the waiting cause it gives me time to find another one I want to buy or save up for a big order on a number of 3rd party transformers

Rodimus be like: I used the backpack to hide the backpack
He has outsmarted his own outsmarting
Avengers endgame reference
That "super tiny little Rodimus" could pass for a Classics style Choro-Q Rodimus.

Really like the concept of a car with an odd trailer. And i'm serious.

"when Optimus tells you to get out of the way, you get out of the f*cking way"
Rodimus Prime in Power of The Primes is just the Super mode for Hot Rod
"...With Great Moustache, comes Great Responsibility!"
I love this figure best hotrod/rodimus we have had in a while.
I dunno...after getting masterpiece 28 Hot Rod, SxS Hot Flame and the DX9 Carry this seems like a dud
Ive seen fan modes that fold hot rods arms over from the front and it covers the thigh shoulders pretty nicely. Im going to get it eventually.
I already have mine still boxed in my closet, I ordered both Primes during Black Friday for my own holiday gifts.
POV: It’s 2021 and you came here to feel nostalgic
Just got this guy recently, holy crap do I need the other POTP Leader figures cause this guy is awesome.
He's actually what the movie Producers thought what a truck would look like in 2005 or 2015
Who else has a feeling Hasbro is losing name ideas just by hearing Rodimus "Unicronus"
That name makes sense. It's Shattered Glass Hot Rod upgraded by Unicron.
Hence Rodimus (Hot Rod's upgraded Name) Unicronus (A Unicron-Empowered State).
I (Santa) got this for my kid and the paper instructions were not clear. This video was CLUTCH!
Great video..rodimus is a definite MUST have
seeing these little hands in Rodimus Prime mode would drive me crazy lol
The deluxe sized hot rod is fine, but I can’t find a way to justify buying it at that price for the trailer. Maybe if they rereleased just the hot rod...
The way the arms connect reminds of the fansproject protector armour with how the new arms connect to the old arms.
I would cut off the bits of plastic that connect to the side of the legs in vehicle mode to prevent the warping
It's a good figure, there is an unofficial base mode for the trailer that makes it look like the turret it transformed in original G1 figure, that mode makes this figure much better.
Thanks! Found one of these without instructions.
I can just remember that one moment from a few years ago saying, "best figure of time, nothing will be better than this" then I find a figure that I find better.
I like your review, it doesn't make me like this figure any better, but it was a nice review.
Thanks for the warning about the back panel on Hot Rod! Also wonder whether it's possible to split the backpack on Rodimus and fold those panels up on the sides, if that would look a little better...
I have the figure and the backpack is what it is.. a backpack, no folding.. Its just there..
They really did a good job with this one, I would like to see more figures of this line... except for Starscream's repaints
I've also seen pictures of an armada optimus with this mold well the trailer part exleast.
He was just added in transformers earth wars phone game. He fun to use too.
This is cool but if i could only get one which one should I pick up this or optimus prime?
I do like how they swiped the combining gun gimmick of MP09 Rodimus Prime there. Otherwise, it seems that Rodimus Prime, Slug/Slag, & Starscream could've used a few thousand more runs through Quality Control & Design/Engineering to get some things just right. (Rodimus & Starscream seem to have crazy bad issues with tolerances/clearances and they all have issues with parts alignment during transformation)
I always though Winnebago was " Win a Bagel".
Space Win a Bagel sounds hilarious
Is it me or is there 5mm pegs on the trailer that one could hypothetically place Minicons on them?
Gallifreyan Warrior Yes, you can have Titan Master, and Prime Master figures ride on Rodimus's trailer.
Dare dare to belieeeeve you can survive the power is there at your command!
Baltmatrix 2018- where are the shins
Have you compared the space winabago with the classics rodimus with the upgrade Kit from fansproject if i remember it correctly they did a very similar thing with the wing...
The trailer reminds me of the Fansproject Protecter Armor for Generations Rodimus
Where are people finding this in the wild? I’m in the south Texas area. Looking at brickseek, and nothing showing so far.
I’m planning on getting rodimus unicronus for Christmas you know the repaint/remold of rodimus prime
I have this figure and after my first time splitting the torso and cab apart the roof of hot rod vehicle mode hinge connection started to marr only after being out of the box for only two minutes my other Jhiaxus took at least 6 month to start showing breakage but even with that I still love my figure
How does Pledge Furniture Polish help tighten up a TRANSFORMER; because my CombinerWars Ulra Magnus, has a loose right foot?!
oh my god it's the hot rod of leadership
I have a tip for you for the plastic to not warp and bend you take it of and move the legs inward
They should do a galvatron like this with the cannon barrel coming out of a tank and turning into a gun
there's a fan mode where hot rod arms are covering the hideous leg shoulders instead of being behind the chest
I’m honestly surprised you didn’t hate the figure as much as some other people. Personally I think it’s fine. The space winavaga mode looks good along with the car mode. The hot rod mode looks good but has a few lose joints and proportion issues. And the Rodimus prime mode looks good too but the legs being the shoulders is a little wacky but I still think it’s fine.
I love your profile picture, dude. That Raimi suit looks so good in game!
The cool thing about Rodimus Prime the Hot Rod version is almost close to a Voyager Class
I like Leader Optimus Prime, I'm Surprised by how good Rodimus Prime Looks, Rodimus Unicronus is a repaint, but I cant wait for Evolutition Optimus Primal to Optimal Optimus! He looks so good!
Amazing more repaints😅
7:33 the head of leadership XD
How's he holding up 2 years later?
When Optimus says get out of the way you get out of the way you little poop
There are videos of this guy's trailer which can be turned into a mobile defense bay of sorts.
Seems interesting.
What are your thoughts on this?
I like it!
wonder if they will do a Megatron that can also be Megatronus. That would be cool
Chibi Rodimus, love it
Another idea is to take the silver part of the matrix and switch it out with the prime version. Other words, the silver part to optimus primes silver matrix and the orange part to rodimus yellow matrix.
I have no interest in the Hot Rod/Rodimus character, but something about this figure made me consider getting it. I ended up not, but every time I watch a review of it I consider it again.
I'm sad that it did not come with big wings and Loanstar and Barf mini figs lol :')
Baltmatrix where can I get the carry hot rod?
lol the Hot Rod of Leadership is much better than the Matrix
I bought an upgrade set that makes him look soooooo much better.
I wish the colors were better on Rodimus Unicronus, instead of shattered glass, maybe lost light or the black rodimus from the masterpiece line. I think those are much better color schemes and they could keep the stache.
SS86/Kingdom Hot Rod/Rodimus really are just going to make this figure absolutely pointless.
I'm going to get rodimus unicronis cuz I like this figure but I don't have any decepticons so yh
This is the face of someone who is dead inside...
OMG 2 IN 1 TRANSFORMER
the evaluation is more of a super mode if you ask me
It's still the matrix of leadership, but it has an over inflated ego. XD
That toy get a lot of flack from reviewers. But I'm glad that, like me, you can see the good things in it.
On bbts (big bad toy store) I found this and Optimus primal for a good deal
I'm hoping we get a starsaber using this gimmick
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!
He look like he's gonna smoke Scorpinoks
If Rodimus is a space Winnebago, would that mean Kup is a space El Camino?
3 headed rodimus
one of the only neutral-positive reviews of this figure
I do not miss the prime wars lines.
Same but some figures were good
The potp hot rod looks really really good and it feels very nice to look at but the articulation is not that good.
I think Power of the Primes won't arrive on Romanian toy shelves until later this year or maybe 2019.Romania just got the 3rd wave of Titans Return figures
I'm living in Sao Paulo Brazil & it's the same situation here mate
I used to live in the UK where we got them quite soon so it's extra annoying for me lol
langlest In Israel I've only seen some few Wei Jiang of combiner wars, lol!
אנונימית אנונימי oh wow lol that isn't good, I think I'd give up & import in that situation
langlest Good for you that you even have legit figures! I live in Finland and we are not getting any of those! Nowadays they just sell some crappy on step shits and some minor deluxes of TLK or RiD 2015...
Darkazon I had no idea distribution was so bad, I hope hasbro sorts it out as its only hurting their own sales
yeah I'm gonna pass on the PotP figures something just doesn't sit right with me on this line and I can't figure it out for some reason
Slytherin Reviews. Dinobots and legends figures have been great so far
it's mainly something else that bothers me and I think I know what it is cause stores near me aren't stocking these in, so by the time wave 2 comes in there is only going to be the start of wave 1 at the stores near me not to mention the price of deluxe Transformer figure is at $30 AUD which I can refuse to pay cause stores near me are either fazing out there toy section or wanting to make it smaller.

Why is everyone giving more attention to Rodimus RODIMUS WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT HOT ROD
I’ve seen the movie it’s sad when Optimus dies
Man, Balt's hand makes this thing look small....ugh....lol
8:11 hes like woohoo i win
Ah yes Rodimus micronus
i don't remember hotrod being cranky
What's with the head in front of the Matrix at 7:42 ? Where did it came from?
Headmaster.
The gimmick with this series is robots that transform into Matrices.
Same connector as Headmasters.
The heck is a winnibego?
You should play transformers earth wars it’s a really good game
It's Power of the Primes, Not Powers of the Primes!
Every single time, he says, "Powers of the Prime". Once I can understand but for like, ten reviews?
poozy1 he can say it how he wants
poozy1 he can say IT HOW HE WANTS
poozy1 freedom of speech dumbass he can say it however he wants
He also says Titans Returns instead of Titans Return. He also has seemingly never heard the word "tab" before.
Y u no talk about Chibi rodimus?
I also got the figure now and the trailer
It’s weird hearing someone besides JobbyTheHong saying swivel
Power master rodimus
I want him... but I'm afraid I'll regret it
Galvatron say goodbye to your 2 best friends and I don't mean your pals in the Winabago
5:12 robo midget
I got it from a Walmart in Colorado for $45
Rodismus me like : rodismus is strong
too bad his TITANS RETURNS version won't fit inside his trailer
