The long wait is over, site sponsor BigBadToyStore has posted the long awaited preorder for this figure, which will elevate Classics Rodimus into Rodimus Prime!

Think that's everything, there's more. Also there is a preorder for an aditional figure, called Sidearm, which turns into a weapon for the bug guy, and turns into a little robot that can station Protector's gun platform. His preorder is here.
Get them before they're gone!

Also, that Targetmaster doesn't seem to look like the CG renderings we saw a few days ago. Now I wonder who is making him?

My money is faithfully theirs.
Prices are very reasonable too. $82.99 plus $9.99 for a targetmaster-size figure? That I can do. (Yeah, I'm looking at you, Perfect Effect )

Why not both?

I thought the same prior to purchasing this...but I rather get this one and wait for the watered down Hasbro version in a year or too

Meh I'll be okay. Only have to get about 4 presents and I usually get them in November regardless.

Looks like the orange comes with Protector and the chromed comes with Sidearm.

It says it right on the pre-order screen..FP is making it..
Im all over this..It's gonna be epic seeing shadow scyther and Protector side by side with Superion and Bruticus as well as the City, shadow and DIA commander sets..That is gonna be one epic shelf!

(best read with German accent) WAHAHA WhY nOt ScAn BoTh?
But yeah, that's like saying you can't get Classics Grimlock because you're getting MP Grimlock. Really, the sky's the limit. Or your bank account. Whichever comes first.

1. Money.
2. I don't like Rodimus that much.
3. There are other toys/figures I would rather.

Hmmm... this guy looks a lot different from the CGI renders. I wonder if the CG one is FP, than is it an early concept render?
If not, I'd love to pick up the other guy, can never have enough modern Targetmasters.

Plus all those additional accessories just make pure WIN, and as always their accessory kits for their add-on kits are worth and affordable.

Pretty sure they're different Targetmaster figures.
If so, sucks for those other guys.

Damn that's crazy..It was up for a few hours and it sold out that fast? Yikes glad I got mines maybe they'll have more later one..Im sure this was just a sample to see how well it would sell...

I can't say that MP Roddy is a "watered down" version of this at all, though. In fact, MP Roddy tops it a little in that Roddy never needed armor to become Rodimus Prime and always needed the trailer to become his vehicle mode.
Nevertheless, this is a set I'm looking forward to!

To me the MP Rodimus is what it is supposed to be. MP Rodimus is what we saw in the movie and the series. I see FP's take as an armor for the newer Neo G1 version of Hot Rod...err...I mean Rodimus.
well I ordered two of those targetmaster sets, and one protector. Sweet ....

I think that when people were talking about a "watered down" MP Roddy, they meant that they would spend the money on this FP release of Protector and wait for the anticipated "Hot Rot" Masterpiece that Hasbro may release in the US as an exclusive; this MP Hot Rod (or maybe just "Rodimus") would be a "watered down" MP Roddy because it would come without the Rodimus Prime trailer.
That's how I read the comments.

Yes, they are making one but not this version that was shown a few days ago.

I wouldn't say it's better than MP Rodimus. I think Protector is great for Classics. But MP Rodimus is like the cartoon came to life

Whatever it was, at least I just went on and pre-ordered one of those too.

Oh, and the Targetmaster too of course. I like not having to wait a year or some like we had to for the City Commander rifle & rockets. Now waiting on color pictures.
Good year to be Rodimus.

I know, it's Rodimus by the ark full.
Which is just pure win.

You can get the targetmaster separately for $10...

Yep. I'm hesitating on getting the Targetmaster(though the price is awesome) because I know that that will lead to a downward spiral where I'll break and get Protector and then hunt down a Classics Roddy...

LOL Well, I was lucky enough to buy the Classics Hot Rod when it was available in retail so I kind of have no choice but to buy both the armor and the targetmaster. It is after all fate

Here's hoping FP will also produce a Targetmaster for Blurr.

Yeah, once again I kick myself for passing up TFs. For some reason, once I moved out of the apartment I shared with my roomie(also a huge TF collector), I got this strange idea in my head that wargames were more important than other things I collect and so I missed out entirely on Classics, 2007 Movie, and the majority of Animated.
Only now do I realize how stupid I was...

I took a break myself after the classics line. I missed all of movie '07 (not really much imo) and a lot of animated (which is my only regret). Right Now, I'm trying to get the more expensive stuff I missed out of the way before I can buy more animated figures.
