The center piece is translucent blue plastic and shaped in such a way that it looks like a crystal. The handle piece is cast in yellow plastic. This works very well and it is a fun idea, adding a different dimension to the whole "Powered up by the Matrix" theme that has been part of Transformers history for 30 years now. This accessory is split into two pieces to allow you to attach other Prime Master Sparks or Enigmas into the handle. This piece is the same size and rough shape as the Sparks formed by the Prime Masters (as well as the "Enigma" accessories included with the Voyager Class figures). The middle section is a round casing with a crystal inside. Using the animated version of this relic as the foundation for its design, there is an oval shaped handle section with notches along the sides. The other two accessories are meant to be one object: The Autobot Matrix of Leadership. The design of the weapon that forms the back half of the rifle is reminiscent of one of the blasters included with the G1 Hot Rod figure. Why two? Well, to give the smaller Hot Rod figure weaponry as well, this weapon can be split in two! Pull on the front and back halves and they come apart, forming two weapons that either Rodimus or Hot Rod can hold in their hands. There are two 5mm pegs on the bottom of the blaster. This weapon is cast in black plastic with no paint applications. Based on the weapon wielded by G1 Rodimus Prime, this rifle has a long barrel with very sleek looking shapes including "fins" on the sides towards the back. Rodimus Prime includes three accessories. I highly recommend taking out the figure within a reasonable amount of time of your purchase to check it out in case you have to return or exchange it for any reason. When I purchased my first Rodimus Prime figure, the right leg would not move properly to transform into vehicle mode so I had to return it. You cannot see this in box, so when you take it out, I recommend inspecting the figure to be sure everything is there. I have seen reports online that at least one fan received a copy of this figure without wheels on the robot legs section. My particular copy of the figure came with the "Rodimus Megatronus" card which indicates he is "uncontrollable and unstoppable".Ī quick note before I dive into the review. Each "Power of the Primes" figure comes with a collector card that tells you what effect a specific Prime's powers will have on this character. The back of the packaging shows off the various forms of this figure and how the cab and trailer combine to form Rodimus Prime. In the window you can see Optimus Prime with his accessories. On the right side is the vertical "Transformers" logo with the "Generations" logo above it. Similar to last year's Leader Class figures, each has a black background with red borders. Rodimus Prime is packaged in a large cardboard window box. This set features Rodimus Prime both in his original "Hot Rod" form and then his final form as Autobot leader, Rodimus Prime. Instead of being Combiners or Pretender/Targetmaster hybrids, this size class has been labeled as "Evolution" figures representing characters in their pre-leadership forms and then their final forms. With the Leader Class figures, Hasbro and Takara Tomy saw the opportunity to do something a little different with this size class. Depending on which Spark the Transformer takes on, they are powered up in different ways. However, instead of gigantic beings storming the battlefield, the Primes have distilled their essence into Sparks that can be used by Transformers to gain all new powers. This line focuses on the original 13 Primes themselves returning. The trilogy that began with "Combiner Wars" concludes with "Power of the Primes".
