Hey Seibertronians! What's up! Today we got some new shots of the upcoming KD-13 Rhinox from the WFC:Kingdom line courtesy of Dengeki Hobby! If you missed out or passed on the previous release in the Generations line, you'll soon get a second chance coming up! We've got a couple of shots of both his robot and rhino modes!
He looks like a nice update and honestly like a better version than the previous generations release from a few years ago, so this October you can pick up a replacement or get him for the first time if you missed out before!

Oh.
Because the news was implying heavily that it was just a reissue.
Looking forward in hand comparisons.

It looks pretty good, not as good as the Thrilling 30 version, but that was always going to be a tough act to follow. The faux chest is a bit off-putting, especially as the rhino's jaw is still visible behind the robot's head, but if it's what they needed to do for a more cartoon accurate chest I can't fault them for it. I have Rhinox on pre-order from Kapow Toys, but I may cancel because since then I've found other sites who are getting their pre-orders in a couple of months earlier.

Vertebreak's far too thin and small to be made out of translucent plastic sadly. She'd shatter from a three-foot drop. I think the mold is only cast in two plastics (main bits and rubbery bits) so there's no way around that.

Man hasbro nailed this one... mostly. the one thing that bugging me is his head. Much like the thrilling 30 rhinox, the head sculpt is fantastic, but not quite right, not quite the cartoon model rhinox. still, this is going to be a mush have for me.

I have no issue with his head. Chain-guns of doom seem too flat to me, that's my main grip. He still looks like a worthy purchase though. I didnt get the previous one and have been kicking myself in the butt or it.

Meh. Already have the T30 version, so this is a non-need for me, but this one seems off. Faux parts, tiny weapons, and those earmuffs on the headsculpt...he just looks off, especially compared to the other BW characters they've done in Kingdom. Like all the other designers were looking at old stills of the show, and whoever designed this was looking at the new comic instead.

Rhinox looks excellent.
The faux rhino mouth is forgivable, since there's no way to make the actual rhino lower jaw look like it does in the show otherwise.
The Chain guns of doom are too small. They need to be a bit bigger. I'm sure some 3rd party company is going to make some replacements at some point though.
He's definitely staying pre-ordered, more so, since I never picked up the T30 version.

It's actually the other way round, the artist probably based Rhinox off this toy, as that would have been designed first before pencil was put to paper.

I think there's ways of making the rhino jaw become the chest jaw. Maybe by having the jaw french-door itself outwards to expand and flatten it could be both.
With creative engineering it's almost always possible to compress or extend alt parts to their robot equivalent.

Perhaps, but at the cost of going overbudget or making excessively complex transformations that result in fragile figures, like in the Masterpiece line. At this price point, solutions like this one or the one they used for Dinobot's chest are the only way to get the proportions right.

In the downtime between waves, I've seen a bit of resurgence of Kingdom Voyager wave 1, even after a single initial sighting of Dinobot from wave 2 (I've yet to see Inferno). But for any who missed Primal/Cyclonus, you may still have a small chance at retail in some areas.
While this line seems to really be selling well (no doubt also because quality is so limited). I wonder if it was wise to have the BW characters 2:1 against original series characters. I mean, I'm not saying BW isn't popular, I mean everywhere I go, I see very little Kingdom, and when I do, it sells quickly however... I've only ever seen a single Cyclonus ONCE at a Target store, and that was quite a while ago, and I've never seen Inferno. although to be fair, my single Dinobot sighting was odd. They must have just came in because the store nearest me had 6 Dinobots (no Inferno's), a week later, they were down to 1 Dinobot, then none. So yeah they sell, but the fact that a tertiary character like Inferno from the original series is more highly sought after than arguably one of, if not THE most popular characters from BW says a lot. I don't blame hasbro in this case, I probably would have done the same thing. Especially after ER Grapple shelf-warmed a bit. But again, reducing the amount of toys you make significantly contributes to the demand I guess.

Kingdom figures have been few and far between out here, some of it I think is the problems with shipping (not enough truck drivers) and some of it is people buying to resell for a higher price. That said, I've actually seen _two_ Cyclonus's but no Dinobots.
For people looking for comparison shots between T30 and Kingdom:
From a rival site, and just the bot mode.
T30 I was super exited for, but found it kind of weak. The head doesn't stay together in Rhino form, the guns don't store right, and his arms don't lock into his forelegs properly. It could be I got a crappy one and others have better mileage from theirs though. If I can find the Kingdom Rhinox, I'd definitely unload my T30 one.

You’re basically wanting the lower jaw to quadruple in size to make it cover his entire chest. That would have resulted in an impossibly thick bottom jaw in Rhino mode.
Its not physically possible to make it expand to that degree without having it be just super thick in rhino mode with a bunch of hinges and panels.

Didn't get this issue on my phone, but did get it on my PC. Weird restriction.
Comparison pics are nice, although it doesn't necessarily give us a good height comparison (the Kingdom one is likely shorter, given how this line has gone so far). Looking at them like this, the Kingdom one does have some advantages. A better silhouette, for one (T30 looks kind of lanky here). But I still can't get over that weird head, and I keep noticing new details that are off (why did they add those big vent things on his shoulders?). T30's only weird details are on the chest, which I'm willing to cut some slack on since they used the actual rhino jaw to make it.

Color me impressed.
That's one involved transformation. Tons of little details like working lift struts for the rear trailer door. And tons of paint. Yeah I can see where the Commander Class budget went.
Also, nice that its larger than PotP.
The trailer storage door kind of feels like a desperate attempt to use more plastic unnecessarily however.
Overall he's awesome. Can't wait to get him. Pre-Ordered since he showed up on BBTS.

The comparison at 3:27 with ER Prime tells me all I need to know. It is definitely a well designed toy. But while the robot modes of Optimus and Rodimus are comparable, basically what you are paying an extra $30 for to make this CC is a more complicated Trailer (with its accessories to be fair). I'm not saying this to be negative, as I think it is well designed. Whether or not it is worth $80 though is for each person to decide, and I would not fault anybody who said it wasn't. Just for the record though, YES I am getting this for the trailers AIRLOCK compatibility. I'm just really hoping to not have to pay full price.

Greetings Seibertronians!
LinaNui and Dominus Prime have pointed out that Prime VS Prime has just posted his video review of the highly anticipated Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime!
He comes with his huge trailer that converts into a weapons platform and many more accessories like his weapons and blast effects. Rodimus himself may be "voyager sized", but he has the heft, the MEAT of a heavy-duty leader, with painted details all over and a transformation scheme that is very creative with many neat tricks utilised.
You can check out the video review for yourself below:
What do you think of this release? Please let us know!

I'm 50/50 on this one. It's a great figure. I have nothing bad to say about it. But it just wasn't what I wanted.

What DID you wanted? I'm curious.
Is it about the Rodimus himself, or did you want another character entirely?

Man that Rodimus looks nice... I might need to preorder a second one...

I'll stick with titanium Rodimus, the winnebago front section looks pretty bad as well as the hood of the car. I'm almost sold on ss86 hotrod though but will wait and see if it gets a a better paint finish figure to fix the yellow roof.

HERETIC!
Still, the "horrible" Titanium is a nice figure and take less space on a shelf.
Do you have the PotP leader?

Just Eeevil potp version as I didn't like it in Rodimus colors. I'm keeping tr galvatron over Kingdom and kingdom Rodimus is definitely going to look a bit too small with him (something that titanium already dies with out paying £80 for a new Rodimus to do :p).

Yeah I'm so over the "Winnebago" term so overly used. 
Anyway I was quite impressed on the difference between the 2 in alt mode alone. I had thoughts of keeping POTP in alt mode but I admit I've changed my mind.
So is anyone thinking Rodimus Unicronus?

Possibly, but I know a lot of people that want an all gold Version that is Primus based on the TT selects pages which just came to an end.

Why? I find the term SPACE WINNEBAGO both ridiculous and awesome! Plus Rodimus must have his fishing rod in his inventory somewhere and the rest of the camping gear may not be far.
Seriously, I'd love to get a BBQ set to his scale, a lantern, and other things for a nice display!

Cue a hyper limited Lucky Draw Rodimus Convoy in 3...2...1
If Hasbro has good sense, they should release a Gold Primus in Selects maybe minus the trailer. Its an easy repaint, and should sell fairly well.

JTPrime used their detective agency and found more listings.

From the looks of things, Kingdom's getting extended like Siege. We're probably seeing some exclusives stragglers and Legacy Wave 1 figures get pulled forwards.

Happy for Blaster, hopefully some of his cassettes are released in the future as well
I'm assuming hot rod variant is SG/unicronus (hopefully)
Worlds collide thing seems underwhelming but maybe it gives buyers another chance for Netflix bee
What's SDCC 1?

I wonder if Blaster will be an all-new mold or some kind of retool of Soundwave.

Even though I still think the face sculpt could have been better, Rodimus is a pretty good looking figure.
But I still won't get him because that trailer and the accessories don't equal $40+ for me.
The inside of the trailer looks pretty bad with all of those peg holes, and both the cannon and the underside tray are pieces of filler. The whole thing would sit in a the box...
So while the figure's a legit voyager, and probably worth $40, I will probably never get him.
On sale at $60 and I'd still pass.
Definitely excited about Blaster... I'm assuming he'll be a re-tool of NF Soundwave.
But that's a bit unfortunate unless it's a major re-tool. His proportions should have relatively long legs.
I am anxious to see the Coronation SS... Even though I'm 99.99999% sure it'll be a hard pass.
If the Worlds Collide set includes NF Bee I'll be very tempted since I missed out.
Although I hope if he's included that his color is more of a Yellow and not so much Yellow-Orange.
But it'll all depend on who else is included and what the price tag is.
Maybe someone will be willing to do a split deal.

Well, for the past couple months all I've been seein are people wishing for Artfire & Blaster. Congratulations! You're getting what you wanted.
As for me? I guess I'll just sit here & wait another freakin decade to see if they'll ever make what I want. RANSACK, BARRAGE, VENOM, CHOP SHOP, SQUEEZEPLAY, FANGRY, HORRI-BULL & SLAPDASH.
Year after year after year. Reveal after reveal. And still Nothin!!!
I guess I'll just sit here & play with my Titan Master heads of SQUEEZEPLAY, FANGRY, HORRI-BULL & wish they had bodies. Thanks Hasbro! Make the character's head but not it's body. That's always fun. GOOD THINKIN!

Same thing with my TR "Pretenders".
Where are my modern updates?
It may take years, but they'll get their turn.
Like it took 30 years for the Headmasters to come back.

Hmm, no. A defining characteristic of the character and the original toy does not qualify as filler. That would be like saying Roller is filler, or Soundwave's cassettes are filler.
The drawer or tray under the trailer is very much filler, and plastic usage to justify the price.
