MP-09"补天士"玩具设计师在TAKARA TOMY官网上对迷友们写的一小段话被人从日语翻译成英文, 我现在把这段文字从英文翻译到中文. 译文如下 (注意, 观望侠的翻译是按美版上译为参照标准, 而非日本当时的2010系列):
那位变形为未来概念卡车的塞伯坦星球第二任("汽车人")领袖"补天士"的玩具最终为了纪念2010年而发布. 大师级的"补天士"玩具一直以来都被人们期望着能够问世, 因为"补天士"是一位特别且不同于历届"汽车人"领袖的领袖.
我猜想当时一定有很多人对"补天士"角色那种倒是很像美国漫画里的英雄人物一样有着圆润身体外型和由老红和金黄色组成为主体色调的新鲜设计很不理解. 同时, G1的"补天士"玩具的定价也只有"擎天柱"玩具的一半左右, 这些都决定了这位伟大的"擎天柱"领袖的继承人的玩具并不会具备与前者同样分量的事实. 但是我确信在我们的童年有很多人对"补天士"这个角色以及其他第三季的新人物有着一种特殊的感情.
"热补天士(HOT RODIMUS, 观望侠: 该死的日本名字)的模式就是按照"热破", 这位有着典型的美国男孩性格, 后来成长, (升级)变形为一辆野营车新人物的角色而设计的. 我们可以这样认为, 这些含有深刻意义的设计初衷其实喻示着我们的成长和人格成熟的过程.
二十四年过去了, 现在是2010年, 尽管我们的世界并没有成为那个当时我们所预测的未来世界. 但是, 当我们拿着这个不单单只是可以变形, 而且还见证着"补天士"角色的成长历程的大师级玩具时, 我们为什么不能重温一下当时(观看G1动画时)的心情和那时对2010未来世界无瑕的想象呢?

Cybertron 2nd Commander Rodimus Convoy, which transforms into a futuristic truck will be at last released to celebrate the year 2010. The release of the flagship model of Rodimus Convoy has been anticipated for a long time because he is an unusual commander, not a typical historical Convoy commander.
I assume that there are many people who found it hard to understand the new 'concept' such as 'the round' body shape like an american comic hero and 'atypical(for robot heroes)' colours of maroon and orange. Also, the original toy was sold for about a half of the price of Convoy commander and so it was not a very convincing toy for a successor to the great Convoy. However, i'm sure there are many people who felt "something special" about Rodimus Convoy and other characters from "Transformers 2010" as a child.
Hot Rodimus was designed to imagine "hotrod" and a typical young american man and then transforms into a campervan to show his growth and new role. You can say that these profound intentions of the design can be understood as we grow up and have a greater vision/understanding of things.
24 years after. It's 2010 now and our world has not become the futuristic world that we imagined back then, but why don't you think about that feeling you felt then, and that future you thought of, as you take Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy which does not only transform, but also has grown up.
