    This guy has been on my shelf for a while. I wanted a better representation of him for my '86 shelf as I never liked the Classics mold.

    It does not transform as it was for display only. Still fully poseable.

    The head is Generations Twin Twist.

    That looks nice! Wish it could transform so we could see what the alt mode would look like...

    Nice - the mold works really well for Hot Rod, which surprises me.

    Great work! I wish someone would finally OS KO this mold because everyone uses it for some mod at some point, not to mention Hasbro's only used it like 50 times. Love the mold, just wish it was bigger.

    That looks cool. Just needs a spoiler on his back. Funny how everything looks cool using that mold. Only Bumblebee looks weird.

    Looks WONDERFUL!


    This was actually on my to do list (not at the top though) until I ended up giving away my spare of this mold. But you've done it better than I would have managed. Beautiful.

    This mould works for so many different characters...yet Hasbro decided to make a Bumblebee instead. Typical.

    Great job as usual.

    Woah. You could remold the shoulders/car front to look more sleek like the G1, and then have the car shoulder bits pointing upwards rather than forward, which would then look like his G1 shoulders.
    Then just stick a spoiler on his back and you're all set.

    I swear an Optimus Prime would look good as this mold.
    On a serious note this looks great, Hasbro really need to make a new Hot Rod. Wouldn't mind a Rodimus with trailer either.
