    No wait - Take that back. This would just be MP-28 HOT ROD reissued with a Targetmaster. Still cool, but nowhere near as cool as a new Rodimus Prime (like I initially thought).

    Oh well, why not. I actually really like MP-28, and mine is still pristine due to having 'Future'd him, but I don't really dare transform him too often, so a hopefully better painted / chromed version would be welcome!

    If it's just the same Hot Rod with a new Targetmaster I probably won't buy it.

    Couldn't be a fail though?

    They could mean about LG hot rodimus and targetmaster.

    However, if this is true, it's very welcome.

    If TT puts screw hole covers on Hot Rod's wrists and make him pinker I might go for this.

    If MP-40 is a remold of MP-28, I might as well sell my MP-28 to replace him with MP-40.

    I hope Firebolt is a new mould and not Hasbro's Offshoot. I like it, but a new mould to better match Nightstick would be awesome. Ball-jointed shoulders and elbows, more toon/toy accurate knees.

    If it's Offshoot, it'll have to be remolded since MP-28 can't actually handle him well.

    Same, i don't see the need for buy another mp-28 just for a targetmaster, unless it comes with a new deco.

    I wonder if they will finally remember how to properly apply chrome to Toys for this rehash. Having a Hot Rod I can actually pick up may be the only selling point for me.

    Good for the people that want it, but I just saved some cash.
