Also, anyone know what the decepticon sticker is for?
Yeah, mine has very little clearance in alt mode. Haven't toyed around with it much though, so I'm sure I'll figure it out later.

As for the Decepticon sticker, I have no idea what that's for.

You have to position his hands properly when transforming into alt mode.

His hands should be folded straight down.

Also his feet have to be pulled all the way forward before folding up and clipping into his chest.

That way his hands will have space.

If you do it right ... it'll roll on all 4 wheels ... with just enough clearance.

Re: TRU MP Rodimus - Quick Thoughts

Here are some pictures with the stickers attached. Got these from the TFW2005 boards.

Re: TRU MP Rodimus - Quick Thoughts

got questions:

1) Many people say the hands seem tricky. Can somebody post pics of how to fold them properly so they are all folded in.

2) How do you make Rodimus taller? Is it something you pull on the legs, feet?

Gonna sell my targetmaster guy when I get Roddy, anybody want him? thx

Re: TRU MP Rodimus - Quick Thoughts

How does he look with the Takara trailer? Are the colors matching decently?

Wont make it much of a difference. The trailer covers so much of the body you wont see the body but you would notice the chrome wheels being different. I did some shots earlier in this thread of bot mode comparison. I just finished the vehicle shots so check them out

Re: TRU MP Rodimus - Quick Thoughts

My Rodimus had a banged up left shoulder joint right out of the box. I wasn't just a crack, a quarter of it was broken, right where the pin goes through. The arm is still arm, but I am afraid of moving it around. Anyone else encountered this?

Re: TRU MP Rodimus - Quick Thoughts

Mine is pretty solid except:

The patented EASY-DETACH (tm) backpack. It's really hard to get that little grey piece to hold.

The hands in vehicle mode... my god - THE HANDS! Where do they go? WHERE?!?!?!
