Will Hasbro release a Rodimus Prime figure?
One of the highlights of the dealer room has always been the Hasbro display cases. There were certainly many, MANY figures on display this year. One case was designated for Unicron, and featured the 1986 prototype Unicron figure that was canned before being mass released. Another showed the 25th Anniversary Soundwave, complete with Ratbat, that will be offered at the SDCC in July. Animated figures were on display, including some that had been canceled. These figures, including Freeway Jazz and Activators Fireblast Grimlock, were not mentioned in the Hasbro panel nor have they been seen in retail. Could they still see light of day? Almost all of the display area was prepped for ROTF. All the lines, from RPM to Gravity Bots; from Fast Action Battlers to Leader class; and even Combiner class Devastator, could be seen. One of the figures that caught my affection included the Leader class Jetfire, who has a very realistic (and large) jet mode. As for Devastator, he does look slightly better
