>>6521768This. I was really excited to see Ptera's head was such a dead-ringer for Swoop... but he looks awful on my TR Hot Rod, even though the head itself is so well-designed. Silver face, glossy-black helmet... A real shame.
POTP Rodimus intrigues me, seeing as I love Rodimus, but the design of the toy turns me off. It's so... blocky. Animated Rodimus was sleek and sexy and had great engineering (for Animated)--even the megawide chest didn't look too bad. TR Hot Rod has gorilla arms and a tiny Titanmaster Head, and it *still* looks great, too. POTP Hot Rod's evolution gimmick sounds awesome, and I love that it's a mainline toy with a Matrix and not an expensive MP toy or a third-party thing... but maybe it's just the CG rendering, it looks ugly. The shoulders' connection to the chest is too visible and weird, IMO, and the chest is so blocky to accomodate the Matrix gimmick.
I WANT to love it, it's Hot Rod evolving into Rodimus Prime and he has the winnebago and a Matrix--it's all I ever wanted. But... something feels off...
