And now there's the Lambo weapons in G1 Toy Sideswipe deco, turns out we're getting three figures spoiled.

But in any case, up yours Hanna. Kingdom Roddy is a lot more solid, he has a lot more invested in the engineering and mass.
Plus, y'know, there's this whole not-inconsequential essential part of him:
So many of you people have been paying through the nose for 3P figures for their extra crap and lack of hollowness and all that for years and chanting their praises for making "better Transformers," and how dare anyone complain about the aesthetics of some of them. You demand quality, you pay a premium for quality... And yet the second Hasbro dares to make an accordingly-expensive ultra-premium toy, it's "charging $80 for a Voyager." You're complete and total smegheads.

Seriously though, I agree and it's nice to see Warden stepping in to defend. I can see the op replied mind underneath him, ne interesting to read if they dropped the issue or doubled down hard.

Not really a good comparison between MP and standard retail. Still, while I understand better now the engineering behind the toys, and why Price Point is not solely based on height, I believe some people's objection to Rodimus being a CC is still valid. Based on comments from others, then I guess Hasbro can release a 16 pack of Micromasters, and call that "Commander Class" release as well.

Leaks state it's a Blast Effect pack. Kinda supported by the wording in the announcement.

Exactly, I've bought extra Battlesmasters just to get the effects so I for darn sure want a box of just effects.
Reminds me of this:
Oops! All blast effects...

This is a very good point, that I think we should explore since it hits the nail on the head. Maybe the issue here is about branding. I wrote above about how people don't bat an eye when it comes to MPs being pricier than retail even though they are the same height and you said it wasn't a fair comparison. Now I get what you mean, the issue is not really about price but branding. So far with commander class toys, Hasbro released bigger figures. And then Rodimus comes along and it turns out the costs were all based on parts count, kind of like an MP figure. Yet he's within a line where double jointed hands and higher complexity is not a thing, so people are like "what's this extra quality and parts count, get out of here, so be tidal wave with less articulation instead". So what would have been best, instead, is to not label him a commander class but simply call him "Rodimus Prime" and charge the same 80$.
And Hasbro has done that already. Your comment about the minicons was smart. Here is the Amazon set of 6 minicons: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Tra ... E0SN68PQ12
It's at the voyager price point, exactly. But Hasbro didn't call it a voyager. They should do the same with Rodimus.
So yes, I still think people are very stupid for needing a different class name and not just looking at class=price point, but hey simple minded people just need simple solutions to get along with their day, and giving Rodimus his own label would have been a simple solution.
