3rd party suit of armor trailer idea for MP Rodimus Prime

Ancillary, non-main-line stuff. Star Wars TF, Speed Stars, Titanium Series, Robot Heroes, that sort of thing. They're kinda neat, but we all know they're not really that important. Admit it, you know it's true.

3rd party suit of armor trailer idea for MP Rodimus Prime

Post by Tigermegatron »

I've been reading tons of transformers fans reviews & U-tube videos.
basically about transformers fans being disappointed in the MP Rodimus Prime toy.

mainly the complaints seem geared towards the trailer making the
takara version worth double the price.

So my question to everyone. Similar to the 3RD Party Protector trailer
armor for classics hotrod. Would anyone like a trailer suit of armor
for MP Rodimus Prime? basically the MP Hotrod sports car would plug
into the suit of armor trailer in vechicle mode. then the suit of
armor would break up into pieces to make the MP Rodimus robot mode
look more impressive. like forming boots & thicker shins. new
forearms,a flip down chest piece,new waist piece. new back pack with
either shoulder canons or wings. maybe a smaller battle station like
the protector version has.


How about saving money,buy the cheap priced hasbro version sans the
trailer. then buy the 3rd party suit of armor trailer for Hasbro MP
Hotrod


the 3rd part trailer will do more than just open up. the 3rd party
trailer will break up into armor pieces & form boots,forearms,chest
plate,waist plate,shin armor,back pack,etc..,all this will attach to
MP Rodimus's robot mode to make him look more awesome. Some times
you've got to pay a bit extra to get a awesome looking work of art.


If you go the hasbro route & get the toy for around $60. the 3rd party
trailer armor will cost around $100. $160 is still $40 less than
takara price & you get a better trailer that form armor pieces for the
robot mode similar to protector & Rid Optimus Primes super sized toy

I dunno, I always liked how Rodimus Prime was actually skinnier than Hot Rod. And the trailer-armour would have to be pretty bloody spectacular, not just break up into little bits to make platform soles and gloves.

...of course then it would be exorbitantly expensive, and i wouldn't buy an MP toy at the best of times...
COME TO TFVIEWS oh you already did

For the record, I have seen MP Rodimus out of the package. That trailer is a piece of junk. I can definitely understand why Hasbro did not import it.


Some of those 3rd party sets are pretty good. But, they are expensive.

-would like to have the money to buy and store MP figures, and 3rd party bits.
