The images showcased Rodimus in both robot and alternate mode, however the figure looks more in clear green plastic than clear blue as shown in the official images.

I like it though. I'm really looking forward to this entire set and the Decepticons.

Being shot on the white background gives it a sort of aqua marine look to it.
For that reason i think it's alright. If i were to get it for the price of a deluxe at retail i'd have no complaints.

Don't jump to conclusions.
BEHOLD! G2 Blaze!

If you notice also with Kup he is the same color as United Kup, but with blue parts painted for the toy. So far, I don't like the blue-green because it's gawdy, at least the light blue would have made sense.
Oh well I paid for it I'll get him and sell it.
I think e-hooby used a back drop that caused the colors to look different.
Look at Kup in the promo pics, and then look at Kup in those comparison pics of the United, E-hobby, and Generations versions and the colors are exactly the same except for the blue paint in certain areas, and the battle damage paint.
This set could have been a lot less than what their charging for it. I'm a little dissapointed.

I actually like the green much better. It makes more sense since it's supposed to be the moment the matrix light washed over Rodimus / Hot Rod when Optimus Prime was handing off the matrix to Ultra Magnus.
Here's one of the raw photos left from this photo shoot to show how he looked blue instead.

I hope you don't mind ... I edited your posts to point to the Seibertron.com gallery of G2 Blaze.

No worries chief. I had completely forgotten he had a seibs gallery.
Unintentional homage or not, I'm going to ask Reprolabels for a conversion set.

Or when he grabbed the matrix after it slipped from Optimus Prime's hands, and before Hot Rod handed it over to Ultra Magnus.

Exactly! Strictly diorama type stuff. Very little play value for the kiddies

I'm convinced that it has a place for me now.
I can change my mind about things. I'm not an animal.
I don't eat my own crap.
(no one will get that )

Don't think this is being marketed for the kids, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Definitely a collectors piece.

I wanted Kup for the G1 resemblance, then i read Spotlight Kup and Igear make the new head. Now he's not so appealing.
I wanted Scrapheap for Wreck Gar to ride, but then i snapped a bit off my first Wreck Gar, bought a spare, and Scrapheap becomes redundant for the deal.
I wanted Hot Rod because he looks cool. then i got shadow scythe and realised soc Rodimus was ideal for the armour and im getting TFCC Sideburn. Dont need 4 of the same mold, thats just overkill (unless theyre Seekers).
for the cost versus the fact theyre repaints of largely recent figures i think im gonna have to cancel my order, TFsource can keep it. Just wish i didnt have United Scourge on the same preorder!
