Protoman Transformers Review - Super Hybrid Rodimus Convoy Prime - Super Rare Japanese TF

[landmind666]

i think if i had a holy grail to get it would have to be a good condition g1 prowl prerub. i haven't even tried to get one,bet he would be a pay check or two for me. and the reason he be the crowning joy is because that was my first tf ever when i was like 7 or 8. i didnt even own a single gobot or one of the other car\robot toys of the age. my only regret is the last time i was playing with him i pretended to be devastator and throw him at a brick wall. man i hated my self then and now 4 that

[OptimusScourge76]

OMG! how did I miss this? Awesome score, bro!

[solgood]

I use warm/hot water to get most of my warped action figures back to their original form. Hope that helps, not sure if you want to try it on a rare piece like that though.

[solgood]

Try soaking the plastic in warm/hot water in order to correct the legs. Hopefully that works without damaging this rare piece.

[goldenage]

cool! Have you considered also trying to get this mass produced? It would be a shame if this thing just disappeared. Maybe you can contact the guys from Super7. I know they recently just produced their own jumbo.

[Geminii27]

Skip to 5:40 to see the actual toy.

[fealmor]

what the hell is takara and hasbro doing ??? they should be making this into a legitimate transforming toy !!!!! -_- I HATE BUMBLEBEE

[TurnAGundam]

That pic at 1:13 is AWESOME!! Where did you find it?

[ProtoRetro]

@TurnAGundam That was a piece of Transformers 2010 manga art from the old 80s books from Japan, you can find it today in the "Transformers Visual Arts" art book online.

[TurnAGundam]

@ProtoRetro Sweet. Thanks for the info. XD X3

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

tell me: this toy is articulated like a masterpiece or just the arms move?

[transformerslover217]

do you have the mega scf hot rod or rodimus prime

[ProtoRetro]

@transformerslover217 Yes I do good sir, I have almost every piece of Hot Rod/Rodimus merchendise EVER MADE. From figures to bedsheets, from statues to iron-on patches. I got it all....

[AnimeLovingOtaku]

Sorry I repeated myself, didn't see my comment.

[ProtoRetro]

@AnimeLovingOtaku No problem bro

[AnimeLovingOtaku]

Meh, I like it but if it doesn't transform then it can't really be considered a transformer, plus toys were meant to be played with not displayed. I will however give you a four and a half

[MalWave]

wow he's tall O_O

don't remember him being that tall in the cartoon xD

still, love the figure man! ^^ I bet it was worth every penny you had to pay out of your ass

[ProtoRetro]

It was worth it, I would have payed double what I did if I had too.

[nightslash3535]

My personal holy grail is Mega PVC Collection Rodimus Convoy.

Why don't you get him instead?

[ProtoRetro]

@nightslash3535 I have him, and well....... almost every Hot Rod/Rodimus merch EVER made.

[jamie5824]

they also made a lava galvatron which is even rarer than those two. i too have a holy grail, my metal force prime

[ProtoRetro]

The Lava one was not part of the original 3 made back in 1987. The Lava one along with the straight up Galvatron were both Botcon Japan 1997 exclusives. The Lava one (which was only 100 made) is not as rare as Arcee and Rodimus which have only a handful in existence.

[TheoryFan1051]

hey proto it's mike from toycast.... holy crap dude that's awesome.... first thing I thought of when you put galvy next to him was the G1 ep nightmare planet with the giant rodimus and galvatron! awesome glad ya found it.

[NemesisPredaking]

Very nice, congrats on the Grail.

It a great feeling to get the one piece that has eluded you for so long.

[ProtoRetro]

Thanks, it's one of those TF toys that you never get a 2nd chance to get, not at Botcon, not online, no where.

[GogDog]

This looks like the spiritual predecessor to the Metalverse Roddy.

[ProtoRetro]

To be honest, Metalverse Roddy is a billion times better, even without the articulation. Hell even his box is sexy......

[GogDog]

Awesome bro. Awesome. :)

[philleehellphia]

Congrulations on the Grail. I can feel the emotion in this video.
