Re: Henkei Hot Rodimus Revealed finally! OH BABY!
The chromey engine I like, and the fact that, based on the above pictures, he doesn't have a rubsign (I found it out of place on Classic Rodimus) I like as well. Otherwise, it doesn't stand out to me as anything special. Sure the hood is more G1, but it doesn't blend in with the rest of him ni car mode anymore.
I'm with Inception here, about most of the Henkei. Most of the them, to me, are not worth plunking down $30+ per figure again, when I think the Classics versions are just fine. I find that the Henkei guys usually look too G1. The somewhat "random" chrome bugs me a bit on the Henkei figures as well.
And it still stands that the only Henkei I'm getting is Megatron; not because I think the Classics version is worse (in fact, I actually really like the Classics paint scheme), but rather because the Henkei version is different enough to warrant buying a second Megatron. By that train of thought, Astrotrain is highly tempting, but the rest I can pass on so far.
