When i checked through their website furthermore, i, without hesitation, ordered 2 since the price quite cheap than Animated Ironhide. I ordered it on August 31st and received it 1 week later. I dont mind paying more for the rare items and since Hasbro Malaysia stopped bringing in Animated toyline, i have no doubt about it. Why wait?
Why bought 2? Easy, save on shipping. At first, i'm thinking of getting 4, but since it will cost me more and Raya is around the corner, 2 is more than enough.
As usual, you can see here, Hasbro still maintaining the box design except for the steel wire. Make way for the new paper wire! As far as i know, Hasbro started using this paper wire for the Hunt for the Decepticons toyline. I first noticed it when i bought Transformers HftD Seaspray.
Ok, let's get back to Rodimus Minor.
As you noticed here, the color for Hasbro's Rodimus Minor is not as striking as TakaraTomy's Rodimus Minor. I will put both brother side by side when i got the chance to grab TakaraTomy's Rodimus Minor. Some of my friend from Transformers LowYat Forum, prefer Hasbro's color than TakaraTomy's.
Let's review on the alternate mode first.
Car without the bow and below, with the bow. With or withour the bow, it's still awesome.
Side view, both with and without the bow.
Rear view with and without the bow, again.
More with bow on top.
What's lies beneath.
Close look one bow with 2 missiles.
Robot Mode:
He really resemble his version in G1 cartoon. Big upper body but smaller lower parts. The shoulder looks bulky but the legs look small and cute. LOL.
Another pose from the left.
Side view. Looks tough with the big shoulder right?
Rear view. Like the boots very much. Trully show the warrior character in him.
Close look on the lower parts.
Some poses with the bow.
Close up on the chest and Autobot insignia. Thinking of may be TakaraTomy will come out with Animated Wildrider?
Side view with the bow.
Bow on the back.
With Animated Arcee TakaraTomy ver.
Bring it!
Overall, i would rate Rodimus Minor 8.5 out of 10. I like the mold very much since the paint applied not as good as TakaraTomy, with paint chip and smudges somemore, i cant give him more than 9. For example, check the Autobot insignia at Rodimus Minor chest, you'll know what i meant.
Color wise, i prefer Hasbro color because they really follow Rodimus Minor in the cartoon. TakaraTomy in other way, still maintaining their bling bling in Transformers.
Eventhough i got it at a high price, still, worth buying it.
Buy First No Regret At All!
