TRU MP Rodimus - Quick Thoughts

[razin]

Although I can successfully put his hands inside his arm I have not yet been able to tab in the arms in alt mode. I've resorted to taking the hands off, which allows everything to tab in nicely.

how the hell do you put MP rodimus' hands into car mode??

i cant figure it out to save my life. and i cant seem to find a video on youtube that shows that part. its always from already being in car mode to robot and i never see how the hands are.

his leg part always seems to be in the way to stop the arms from tabbing onto the peg. and i tried in tool mode and its still not working..

someone please tell me how to do this its driving me nuts.

i finally get to open my MP roddy and nothing is broken on him but i cant transform the bastard lol

help!!

So is the minicon targetmaster supposed to fit/tab into Rody's palm in gun mode? Looks like they need to reverse the "handle" part of the gun to fit... anyone tried to remod the handle? Can it be reversed easily?

there is a bend in the handle that lines up with the head panel when they collapse

Hey I just tried putting my TRU rodimus into my Takara Rodimus' trailer. Did anyone else who did this notice the yellow fins seem to fit better with little to no rubbing? I'm just wondering if this is just my imagination. I'm reluctant to transform my Takara Rodimus to compare. I had a TRU Rodimus' shoulder explode on me and I'm a bit gun shy now.

So the minicon in gun mode has that handle, with a tab that should fit in the palm of Rody, but mine has a handle that faces the opposite direction from the instruction sheet picture... so the notch where the thumb is supposed to fit through is in the front of the gun. Anyway it doesn't fit into his palm. Is it just mine or does anyone else have problem with that minicon?

What did you do with your shoulder exploding Rodimus, Sun Swipe Prime ? I just found mine with his shoulder lying on the bottom of the shelf. I never even touched it or transformed it at all ! It was just standing on display on my computer desk. Talk about cheap a$$ plastic, Hasbro

I agree about the cheap a$$ plastic. I was transforming my figure for just the second time to alt mode and was having difficulty pegging his arm into the body side and while I was gently pushing the arm Rodimus' face broke off and fell out of his head .

Now I have two little bits of red plastic and a springy thing and the face

Bummer dude, that sucks.

He looks like he crossed movie prime on a bad day. "Give me your face!" KER-UNCH!

With all the problems everyone is having and reporting I think someone should do what this video suggests:

Protoman have you got a spare Roddy you could film doing this? I'd pay to see someone do it, Maaaaan!
