My only problems with Kingdom Roddy is the trailer size (too big) and his face (bit TOO old). Those are just nitpicks I feel like he's probably the best we gonna get in the mainline.
I agree with you if all we get in 86 is a remold, but I'm hopeful that we get a new "end all be all GOAT" Rodimus for 86. It's fitting, and would be a great gift to us old fart fans, so I'm gonna reserve judgement on Kingdom being the goat for a while, BUT he is miles ahead of anything current, including MP! I got 86 Hot Rod, and am in love. I'm looking on Ebay at a kingdom loose complete trailer, and wondering strongly wondering, if my 86 Hotrod, will hookup with that trailer, Hey Dluxyus! Lemme know!
@@publicprofilename4273 Well, firstly, THIS Kingdom Rodimus is NOT a "remold", and secondly this IS the '86 version of Rodimus Prime, and probably THE LAST version we get for quite awhile, which is WHY this figure is priced & packed as a commander class figure. THAT'S BECAUSE of all the extra sculpting, detail, paint apps (except on the wheels... Really, Hasbro?!), transformation points to hide kibble and streamline him yet maintain articulation, and additional articulation, as well as accessories, and so forth. THIS. IS. IT. The 86 Movie line runs across BOTH Studio Series, as well as the Mainline (Kingdom+), so there won't be ANOTHER , all original mold version any time soon. Knowing Hasbro though, they'll pop out a freaking Rodimus Unicronus repaint version somewhere down the line, but who cares? Either way... THIS Kingdom Rodimus...? Yeah. THIS IS IT. There WON'T BE ANOTHER ONE for the 86 version figures in THIS line, nor Studio Series. Period. Molds, sculpting, R&D, paint, production & shipping, etc., costs money... THIS guy took up a huge chunk of budget, which is what bumped his price point into the commander class... You REALLY think they're going to do a SECOND version as a Leader, OR commander, that's somehow going to be BETTER than this guy?!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Worse, MOST likely, IF crazy came true, BUT NO... NOT GOING to happen... Might as well accept THIS version as THE ONE, and give it a few years, just as they're about to lose the rights to the name "Rodimus Prime", where they'll do a quick repaint of something to save the name for awhile longer, lol. 😅😅😅 That's how Hasbro rolls, you SHOULD know this by now, lol. 😅
If I recall correctly, there was a 3rd party years ago who made a Rodimus Prime figure that never detaches with his trailer both in robot form or vehicle form. If that company can do it, why can't Hasbro do the same?
If u push down on black pieces that connect to pistons on back door as u close it u can get door to close better. Just push them down further along the track they set in
I still have that ild Hot Rod. Ironically his face actually looks more like Rodimus. I thought about getting a trailer, possibly the FP one to use with SS86 Hotrod, but thought that he was too small in Hotrod mode and maybe too big with all the armor.
I agree kingdom rodimus looks and poses better. But I really love the power up gimmick of the prime wars one (I myself have the black unicronus version). And I really don't wanna pay 80 bucks for basically a voyager with a big box, as good as he may be.
I got the POTP Rodimus as a poor man's version for a really good price. I couldn't and still can't afford this version. It would be nice to have the Kingdoms version, but I enjoy the other one. I just pretend that Hot Rod is the Rodimus robot mode, and it does scale well with 86 Hot Rod and looks more beefy/serious.
Kingdom Rodimus prime is hands down the best version up to date. I don't think hasbro could improve any more on this mold. Great review my friend. Just picked him up thru amazon for a good deal.
It’s going to be a while for Hasbro to put out a better Rodimus Prime than the Kingdom. Next step is probably an all in one transformation a la DX9’s Carry. Worth mentioning, since seeing Michael Mercy’s recent review of the PotP RP I've had a better appreciation of the figure if you think of it as a PowerMaster version of RP. It somehow justifies the size and bulk of the figure.
For the back of the “trailer” you can close it tighter if you finish sliding down the two little black pieces. The same thing was going on with my figure
I have the ROdimus Unicronus version and the Kingdom Hot Rod... Kingdom Rodimus just seems to be a bit worse than both in the different modes... Plus, the POTP Rodimus actually as a pretty cool Hot Rod figure inside!
I wiah you would have compared the Kingdom Rodimus robot with the POTP "Hot Rod" robot mode to show scale. I use the Hot Rod robot as Rodimus and the larger Rodimus as a trailer combine/super robot mode.
Back then If you wanted a rodimus prime. We looked at Fansproject Protector. Then Power of the Primes made the same but the way they went about it removed the ability for a battle stand. I think there was also some attempts for rodimus from other companies and and there was the old MP Rodimus. good luck gettin that one. which brings us to the commander class rodimus. does it deserve the commander title? No. Is it good? Yes. I see this like I see the Earthrise prime. A “leader” class figure.
Yes they should keep releasing these toys every few years and consider it like masterpiece toys but easily available. G1 is considered like the Star Wars "Original Trilogy" for transformers. (multi generational appeal) I can't think of much more that they could improve on these toys.
The Kingdom one is much better than the Power of the Primes version. If you want to fully close the ramp on the backside you have to push down the black sections wich are connected to the hydraulic bits. They run in a track, but when the ramp is closed they don’t go down all the way.
Great comparison video Deluxe Baldwin!!!!!!!!! The Kingdom Rodimus Prime is the better of the two figures, as great as the PotP version is, the Kingdom figure is a far greater version of Rodimus Prime. Keep on being amazing.
If you like the POTP one, mmmmkay. Kingdom though? If I could find him for close to retail, but nope, anywhere from $80 to $110! Really? I mean, it's certainly better than $65 for 86 Scourge, but still. I'm almost to the point of dropping nearly $200 for kingdom roddy and galvy..... almost.
Yeah, Kingdom Rodimus wins hands down. POTP Rodimus is okay at best but there were a lot of things I did not like about the figure. When I got Kingdom Rodimus, I was really impressed at how much Hasbro did to the figure. So yeah, I prefer Kingdom Rodimus Prime.
Im not sure wichoneilike better.kingdom is more g1ish. Potp one was ok for its time.the kingdom is a vast improvement.i bought my potp when he was on clearence and ithought at time he was the bomb. Along comes kingdom .now im conflicted as wich one i like most
@@DeluxeBaldwin seriously, I'm hoping that this next trilogy will just be a continuation of the same scale and quality. Shoot actually maybe improved quality.
Yo, do ya guy a solid. You got Kingdom roddy, but do you have 86 Hotrod? If so, does he hook up with King rods trailer? I can get a trailer loose, so I'm wondering if I can kinda cheat, and have the perfect "imo" Rodimus. Letya boy know homey.
Do that for me, and I'll shoot ya one of my silver pens with some life left in it, for ya rims. I did it for the rear rims of the 86 rod, and the front rims on earthrise prime. Made a really noticeable difference.
He is to small for the trailer. It won't attach. No worries on the pen man. Thanks for the offer tho. 👍 but yeah its way to small. Thanks for watching this 😀

Lol yes, Kingdom Rodimus looks like Kup's OLDER brother.
Awesome compare, I had never seen that POTP rodimus. I think it looks fine, but Kingdom Roddy takes the prize. Great review you awesome sir!
Naaaa youre awesome! Thanks as always good sir!
If I recall correctly, there was a 3rd party years ago who made a Rodimus Prime figure that never detaches with his trailer both in robot form or vehicle form. If that company can do it, why can't Hasbro do the same?
Yeah the DX9 is a great figure. Thank you very much for watching this 😀
I’ve just realised - they don’t ever give Hot Rod his engine stack anymore do they?!
Never really thought about it but nope. Thanks for watching tho!
But ss86 hot rod does have it right?
If u push down on black pieces that connect to pistons on back door as u close it u can get door to close better. Just push them down further along the track they set in
That’s what I did as well.
Ahhhh ok. Thank you for the information and watching! 😀
Any time. I dig your videos. Keep up great work
I still have a soft spot for the FansProject upgrade on the old classics Roddy
lol yeah one of my first 3rd party purchases back in the day. memories. thanks for watching!

Very nice review, Thanks for the comparisons and the showing the new Rodimus Figure. I should be getting this soon, I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you so much for watching! Hope ya like him.
Thanks for a great review! Love these versus vids!
Glad you like them. i like making them. :)

Great review luv it thx allot!!! Baldwin!greets from Holland!😃💯🏆
Oh nice! Well thank you so much for watching! Greetings from Arkansas. 😀
I know you were comparing the Rodimi here, but I was hoping to see the Hot Rod part of PotP alone next to the Kingdom Rodimus...Great video Deluxe!!
Sorry I packed him up already or I definitely would of compared them. Thank you very much for watching this 😀
For the back of the “trailer” you can close it tighter if you finish sliding down the two little black pieces. The same thing was going on with my figure
Thanks for the info and watching 😀
You can use any of the other versions of that matrix with the sword. For some reason this is the only one with a smaller hole on the back
Ahhhhh ok. That's great news. Thank you very much.
I have the ROdimus Unicronus version and the Kingdom Hot Rod... Kingdom Rodimus just seems to be a bit worse than both in the different modes... Plus, the POTP Rodimus actually as a pretty cool Hot Rod figure inside!

@@DeluxeBaldwin no problem. Thx for making this video.
Hasbro knew who their target audience was when the made the WFC toyline and the box art.
Yes they should keep releasing these toys every few years and consider it like masterpiece toys but easily available. G1 is considered like the Star Wars "Original Trilogy" for transformers. (multi generational appeal) I can't think of much more that they could improve on these toys.
Great comparisons Deluxe! Much more detailed than mine!

Rodimus prime was a character they did not get right until kingdom.

Man WFC blows just about every Prime Wars out of the water. This trilogy is amazing.
