He's only bad in Vehicle Mode IMHO. But Rodimus does look gorgeous. Too bad they can't re-release the Clear Henkei Convoy. Anybody know if the original was re-released?

Prime is a complete FAIL!!

They totally should have released Henkei clear Convoy with Hot Rod, that would have been a perfect set.
Unfortunately I don't think there is any chance of them re-releasing clear Convoy - he's as rare in Japan now as Henkei Wildrider (which means if you want him it'll cost around $300).

I agree, that Prime is decent in bot mode and the gun he comes with is pretty cool.

You didn't notice that the Optimus Prime figure is called "Optimus Prime" and not "Convoy"? They're using the American names for these releases, that's all there is to it. (As a proper answer to your question: Hot Rod is called "Hot Rodimus" in Japan, and "Rodimus Convoy" as Rodimus Prime).
Trivia: The "Hot Rod" name was used in Japan, for Armada Hot Shot.

I wish I was collecting when Wildrider came out. $300 bucks on eBay is what I saw it going for. I love Hot Rod but I cant see myself spending that much on a deluxe.... or any figure to tell you the truth.

I agree, it would have been nice if they released clear Henkei Convoy with Rodimus. I guess they didn't see it going that way , but if they did, we would be paying a hell of a lot more than what we are paying now. Though the Prime in there is fugly, it is a decent representation of Prime, so I'll take it.
I wish I got on the ground floor of the Clear Henkei Convoy when it was going for $199...now it's insane.
This one will surely go up too just for Rodimus alone, maybe even a special Protector set just for this version. That would be like a sweet punch in the gut of my wallet if FansProject did something like that.
OH
If you preoredered with BBTS, you paid $69.99
If you order now with BBTS, you'll pay $74.99
So BBTS is raising the price. Glad I preordered early. It's going to be here next week.

Besides that, he'll be the one I use with protector.
