Please,List all the previous TF molds,you think will make great
Rodimus Prime repaints or botcon exclusives.

Please don't list the TF molds that were specifically created for
Rodimus Prime. like the 6 inch titanium 6 inch Rodimus Prime & Energon
Rodimus prime. G-1 1986 Rodimus Prime.

Please don't list any previous Hot rod,Hot Rodimus Or Rodimus molds
that were meant for the younger/before leader version of Rodimus
Prime.

Obviously any repaint might also need a new rodimus prime styled head
sculpt.

there doesn't seem to be that many that resemble rodimus Prime from
the 1986 G-1 Movie/season 3.

Here's my choices for decent repaints or botcon exclusives:
(1) Energon Voyager sized Cliffjumper. obviously a new head rodimus
Prime head sculpt will be needed. Why,it's a big & powerful looking
vechicle
(2)TF Animated Sentinel Prime. because the designs were originally
meant for rodimus prime. then got tweaked for sentinel prime. a new
rodimus head sculpt is needed.
(3)1998 TM2 Tigerhawk. seems like the best beastwars mold to repaint
into Rodimus Primal. the toy could be colored in realitic tangering
tiger colors. the rubber & vacuized chrome parts could be colored in
red. the tip of the wings for be metailc gold.
(4) year 2005 cybertron leader sized megatron. mold looks like a
powered up version of hotrods alt mode. bigger,longer,more weapons &
so forth. new rodimus head sculpt needed.
(5) Takara brave King exkaiser. just colored the mold in red,tangering
orange & gold. with the blue tinted vechicle windows. no new head
sculpt is needed on either robot mode.

BW Neo Big Convoy -- he would have to be maroon, with yellow tusks,
and flame patterns, which might make some people mistake him for a
Universe Optimus Primal homage.

Armada Megatron -- by making the treads yellow, the robot mode
shoulder pads would resemble the Rodimus wings. Of course, a red H-
tank would make some people think of a Classics Legends Warpath
homage, but adding orange details could cut that down.

G1 Kickback -- again with the wings... But at least here, no one would
mistake him for someone else.

Cybertron Voyager Starscream -- he would definitely need a new head.
The tail fins would need to be yellow, and assembled backwards.
Otherwise, just maroon and orange, with the flames.

Cybertron Clocker -- why didn't he get a Rodimus redeco?

Cybertron Dark Crumblezone -- a new head sculpt would be needed, but
they've already got the patterns for flames... It would be a different
look for Rodimus, a bit more powerful.

Cybertron Optimus Prime -- in addition to the new head, he would also
need some new paint details to put yellow on the insides of his wings,
and add flames over the chest windows.

TM Rhinox -- I think he wouldn't even need any remolds, just some very
creative use of colors. Obviously, the shoulder pads would have to be
yellow to replace the spoiler backpack.

G1 Six Shot -- pretty obvious choice

Are there any toys that wouldn't work as a Rodimus homage?

Gustavo!

I just don't see jets as Rodimus. Young and headstrong, sure, but not
jet material.

Lemme think... where oh where is tfu.info...

*Back after checking out all the Beast Wars toys... *

BW Jawbreaker. Fits the personality. Mind you, Roddy's transformation
was closest to Cheetor, but I'll be damned if I'll suggest yet another
bloody cat re-colour.

Clocker, mind you, is almost perfect, isn't it? Hell, Clocker would
work for Blurr too.

Honestly, ROTF Sideswipe. Also Animated Jazz (maybe a head retool),
Concept Camero Bumblebee (pick your movie), Classics Sideswipe (head
retool) looks a bit like that old Hot Rod concept art anyway, maybe
some of those Gobots/Spychangers molds.
