Total, utter turnoff if this is true. I just that the Hasbro one is maroon if so.

Trikeboy, are you referring to the image of the toy on the box? He comes with 2 faces, his Rodimus Prime face and his Hot Rod face. the box is showing the Rodimus face.

God I hope not, EVERY OTHER HOT ROD I OWN IS RED. While maroon would be movie accurate it would look strange with all the other red guys.

Yes, just not the Trailer.

Yes. Just not the vehicle modes due to a lack of the trailer.
I wonder why Hasbro couldn't make a cardboard trailer with a plastic nosepiece....
As for the masterpiece itself? Sechshy.

I've only been half-heartedly tracking the progress of this figure since I had not planned on picking it up initially, but lately my curiosity has risen. Hasbro is not releasing a trailer with their version? That's about the lamest, most piss-poor marketing choice they could make with this figure. They might as well not even do a release at all. Unlike Optimus, who is who he is with OR without the trailer, Rodimus w/out a trailer is Hot Rod. Well, I guess I'll be saving some dough now.

No, I'm referring to the artwork on the instruction manual and bio card.

It's to keep the costs low. Currently, Rodimus Convoy is retailing around $210-220.00 at Japanese pricing.
That would mean the US version would have to be at least $100.00 or more to even make it to store shelves, and it won't sell.
So, instead, they're producing a new accessory, rumored to be his Targetmaster, Firebolt. Other accessories have been hinted to.
I decided to bite the bullet and buy the TakaraTomy version, and I'm not thrilled with the price, but I'd much rather have it be whole than to sit there and always want more. And possibly spend more.

He's probably deep magenta that looks red in dark lighting conditions and bright maroon when out in the light. In any case a sexy figure.
