Title:
Rodimus
Description:
• ENG07
• Rodimus (Combat Class, 2004)
• Takara ID number: SC-10
• Accessories: Spring-loaded ”Energon Cannon,” flame-missile
• Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Rodimus transforms into a rocket-powered Cybertronic long-nose truck cab. He can also form the top or bottom half of a larger robot mode, compatible with any Energon Combat- or Mega-class Autobot combiner robot. He comes with a large ”Energon Cannon” with spring-loaded ”flame” missile. His design is a homage to Rodimus Prime from Generation 1, while his transformation is eerily similar to that of Generation 2 Hero Optimus Prime.
The Takara version of Rodimus has a few notable differences, including a darker shade of red, and a flame deco on his truck-mode spoiler, which was removed from Hasbro version due to cost considerations. Both the Hasbro and Takara versions are missing a number of other paint applications present on the early promotional photography. The gold paint on the sculpted exhaust pipe details next to his smokestacks, extended gold deco on the front bumper, and painted details above the grill are no longer present.
This mold was used to make Energon Checkpoint and Timelines Thunder Clash, the latter of which was also repainted in BotCon 2009’s customization class to make Shattered Glass Thunderclash.
