http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/auto-assembly-announces-giveaway-of-challenge-at-cybertron-possible-target-exclusive-in-us-170303/ (takes you to an article about what the UL Transformers convention is doing wiht this 3-pack, i'll be commenting on the pack itself and the US release info).
First up, the prototype photos of Masterpiece rodimus. this figure is currently slated to come out sometime in 4th quarter this year and i'm really liking the resin prototype shots. I'm really diggins how the trialers looks seemless over the car. If theyre going wiht the Rodimus persona, i hope they do a face changing thing so we can do the Hot Rod to Rodimus growth thing. Although, its debated how much he grew. I'm intrigued to see if they do put this gimmick in. If they dont, i wont mind. it looks like the trailer will be a missile base thing, which i'm fine with. We only see a photo of a photo of the Robot Mode,and it looks sweet and sleek and i like it. I cant wait for the colorization and such. I'm just hoping he's not too expensive. Though he is due out sometime in the fourth quarter from Japan, so we'll see once we get more photos and such.
Secondly, the second link has aphot attached to it. Supposedly the schemes on the toys in this three pack (rodimus/hot rod, Galvatron and Cyclonus) are more accurate to the original cartoon. That being said, if this pack ends up being a target exclusive, i'm not gonna rush out and get it. Dont worry, i love the Hot Rod/Rodimus and Cyclonus molds, but no color scheme will save that deluxe Galvatron from being the king of crap it is. It shoulda been a voyager, i dont care how they make it, it should've been a voyager, regardless of Hasbro's scale issues.
