We saw it in the recent TFCC Botcon Convention Comic Preview in the news here. An evil Rodimus having a chat with Classics Cliffjumper.

It looked as if rumors of Rodimus with a goatee being part of the Botcon Lineup were true. And now from the Asian auction site Taobao, Orion_Prime shares an auction for the convention exclusive figure here.

No robot mode pictures are available yet, but I know we are all looking forward to seeing how the 'stach and beard get painted/molded on.

This Rodimus is awesome! I must have it! I'm glad I'm going again this year. Anyone who had doubts about this years set just needs to look at this figure. Now the only figures we haven't seen is Megatron(Energon remold) and the Armada Wheeljack repaint(Drench?).

Whatever happened to that 7:7 bot/con ratio that was claimed a while back? I've seen the seven 'bots, but only two 'cons. I want my Megs ; ;

Though I am quite pleased with the color schemes I've seen so far. Go go goateemobile!

*groan* Not ANOTHER black deco of a figure. Black Optimus Prime, Black Rodimus Prime and now black Hot Rod. Hasbro's really uningenious with these Botcon exclusives, not to mention a little biased. Us whites are cool, too!
