IF is real, and ignoring the POTP image, this image making the rounds on the SNS appears to be for a possible leaked listing for a Shattered Glass Rodimus for Hasbro Pulse and or Generation Selects. The Philippines retail listing suggests this is a recolor / partial of the Studio 1986 Hot Rod figure. - Read the Full News Story

So my problem with this is its name.  Rodimus Unicronus is the name after the Matrix is in his chest, in his Rodimus Prime mode.  As Hot Rod, his name should be Nemesis Hot Rod.  Either way, still a buy, but will be referred to correctly.

This theme has been knocked around so many times. For a long time they called it "Menasor". My guess is the names are being confused because its still leaked news. I have faith the TF Team will sort the name out for release.

I understand that the Rodimus Unicronus and Nemesis Hot Rod are Prime Wars story choices.  Prior names were like a combination of trademarking and BotCon making their own thing up.  But, now that it has been established, some uniformity would be nice.

Yeah when I read "Rodimus Unicronus" I expect the counterpart to Rodimus Prime. So a leader class of just the cab part from the commander figure. That figure could probably be released as a leader on it's own. I also like that figure far more than the Hot Rod figure. I just don't want another of that trailer. Not that I hate it or anything as it's a good trailer, it's just that it doesn't really do anything.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter though as I'll still use PotP Rodimus Unicronus and Nemesis Prime as my versions. The decepticons got full on upgrades when Unicron got to them but Optimus only got a redeco for the WFC series. That's lame. So in my little world when Unicron got to the Primes, they got powered up "brute" like forms from their trailers due to their connection to the Matrix. Now I just need Hasbro to go back to the PotP Optimal Optimus mold to not only make Primal Prime but to finish the trio with a Nemesis Primal too. Throne of the Primes Optimus Primal could work as a stand in I guess. I could just repaint it myself but I already said how unmotivated I am to do customs anymore. Even one that wouldn't need too much work.

Titanium Menasor came out before SG Hot Rod though and was literally meant to be the fractured combiner personality of Menasor but in a single body. Same for Classics Menasor in it was always meant to be Menasor. Only the unreleased Universe Menasor was given the name as the intended name of "Motormaster" wasn't available in 2003 and wasn't for a while after. So those wouldn't count as SG Roddy or Rodimus Unicronus. For that matter, Hot Rod had a black redeco long before SG Hot Rod was a thing. It's just Hot Rod in black.

"Rodimus Unicronus" is what it was called in the first look video. IDK it they made that up, or was informed of the name from the source. At the end of the day, the toy can be just about anything they feel like calling it. Looking at SG Slicer, this is way closer to Unicronus than that was. But that's the license they have with Generations. OH, and thanks for bringing that up. I totally forgot about the Black Hot Rod, I have that with the clear one. There was also Lucky Draw Black Rodimus, and the MP-9B Black Rodimus.

Chefatron is cooking with Unicron in his latest in-hand preview of the recently revealed Transformers Generations Shattered Glass Rodimus figure. The dark repaint of the Studio Series Hot Rod is still unannounced but it is clearly coming soon. Get an in-hand look at this bad guy in the video and images below. - Read the Full News Story

    • Seems I took over this thread with my crappy customs lol.  Vector Prime is/was a multiversal singularity. So any Vector Prime released will be the same Vector Prime regardless of anything else. However there's only been one Vector Prime anyway though and that's CyberTRON Vector Prime. Well I guess there's been two if you count PotP Metalhawk since the Primemaster that came with him is Vector Prime. The wiki still has them as being the same Vector Prime though. I was literally just thinking about Vector Prime and how he needs a new figure. We need more big Autobots with flying alt modes and he certainly fits the bill. I wonder what they're going to do with Safeguard? Hasbro claimed they don't want to do Battlemasters and Micromasters anymore as they supposedly didn't sell well. No, the Rise of the Beast ones don't count as they should've been out about two years ago. Those seem to be selling well now though regardless of when they were supposed to be on shelves. So maybe they'll circle back around to them to do the Armada and Cybertron Minicons. Swindle, Leader-1, Sparkplug, Drillbit, Jolt and now Safeguard and Clench all need to be done. And we do need new ones. I dug out Armada Jolt, Universe Jolt and even T30 Blazemaster who has a Jolt variant and none of them work well with Hot Shot. The two Minicon Jolts don't peg onto the Minicon peg in Vehicle mode and the peg isn't accessible in robot mode. Blazemaster can't peg onto the Minicon peg either but can at least become a gun for robot mode. Maybe if the hood or the engine had a 5mm port then Blazemaster could plug in as a gun in vehicle mode. Deluxe Optimus Prime is mildly interesting. We've come a long way from the Classics deluxe Optimus Prime mold so it's bound to be way better than that and thankfully won't have the spinning gimmick.  Armada Galvatron is a long time coming. I get the CW mold wasn't amazing for Armada Megatron but I really did want Galvatron too. Now we're getting a proper update and I still kind of want a CW Armada Galvatron lol. I hope they finish the trifecta and do Megazarak too. I'll even take a Lucky Draw redeco. Origin Wheeljack is a VOYAGER. Nice. I hope they keep going with these even though there's technically little to no more they can do. Soundwave and Laserbeak? No not the "hidden" mode of the Siege figure, I mean one that only turns into the "lampost". I would hate that so much as I hate having an alt mode that doesn't move on its own other than for small weapons. Blaster and Netflix Soundwave annoy me but I do own all versions. At least Perceptor has his tank mode thing.  If these new "rocks" are indeed Weaponizers, I hope they work better than the Junkions. I hate how the torsos don't do anything. I couldn't care less about having a self contained transformation if it means that you lose functionality of the gimmick. I don't even bother messing with the Junkions the same way I did with the Weaponizers, Modulators and Fossilizers. The names don't seem to line up with any Rock Lords either for the most part. Not that they'd need to change the names since Hasbro owns those. They'd only need to make sure not to have them be accurate to the original toys like Velocitron Crasher. Not that I'd know since I never found one let alone the two I wanted. Maybe these are like Rock Lords though and they're really trying to do new (aka old) things. Just going to have to wait and see in two weeks or so when they start leaking from the factories now that they're showing up again in store listings.

    • So, what an odd mixed bag Transformers Studio Series Gamer Edition Barricade is. Yes, the articulation is atrociously limited BUT there is more to the story and some things quite charming about him too.
