Accessories: trailer/evolution armor, evolution armor arms, rifle (formed by two blasters), Matrix of Leadership frame, Matrix of Leadership core
Power of the Primes "Evolution Rodimus Prime” is a completely new mold consisting of a Deluxe-sized Hot Rod and a trailer, which can combine with the smaller robot to form the Leader-sized Rodimus Prime. Both robot modes feature exceptional articulation, largely due to the way both robot modes transform. However, neither has a rotating waist for the same reason. This figure features minimal partsforming, with the Rodimus Prime fists being formed by attaching the two halves of the front end of the trailer to Hot Rod’s knees.He includes a Matrix of Leadership accessory that has a removable center crystal, allowing any Prime Master to take its place. The Matrix can be stored within Rodimus’s robot mode chest. Unfortunately, neither of his robot modes can actually hold it due to having standard 5mm hands. His two guns, one of which is based on his original toy’s Photon Rifle, can combine into a rifle similar to his Photon Eliminator. In vehicle mode, his weapons can be mounted in the two 5mm holes near the back end of his trailer or stored on Rodimus Prime’s back. The trailer portion also has two pegs to stand a Titan Master, Prime Master, or decoy armor on.Surprisingly, the TakaraTomy stock photos of the Hot Rod figure are mistransformed: His yellow spoiler is not present in robot mode. This is only possible in the toy by removing the entire canopy of Hot Rod’s vehicle mode, which is attached by a mushroom joint. Like the last version, Hot Rod/Rodimus can use the Battle Master Firedrive.
