First of this by far is the best henkei repaint yet next to megs and starscream imo.(i do have them all)The love put into this figure is shown.

box art is very nice and has the tech card and a nice comic.


bot mode




the new colors are a very nice upgrade from the classics version and show his real g1 color scheme in bot mode
alt mode





alt mode really comes together nicely and the gold chrome spoiler is very nice.


Easily this is a must buy for rodimus/hotrod collectors and g1 fans.


I would give this repaint a 9/10

Nice review, but I wouldn't say that he's the best henkei repaint yet, that honour goes to either Astrotrain or Megatron with Hot Rod tied with Starscream & Skyfire in 2nd(just my opinion)

Nice pic, are you getting Skyfire or not? I'd like to see him w/the others.

Excellent. I'm glad I ordered one of these today from BBTS. He just may look better than the Botcon "evil" Rodimus, but I'll wait until he arrives to make that call.

Pass. I prefer my Hasbro version.

Best Henkei repaint over Hasbro IMO has to be Starscream. I'm glad that Megs got his G1 colors, but i feel the execution is lacking and somewhat tacky. And the chrome chest isn't helping.
