    Looks cool, but I won't be picking it up. The original red, and recent purple flavors are enough for me.

    I hope all these repaints are generating funds for a Nautica.

    Same. I didn't even go for the original Hot Flame (went with Caldius because I'm knee deep in MMC). However, Nautica is a definite instabuy.

    Can somebody take a picture of him next to mp28? I'm thinking of changing my hotrod for this but I'm not very sure about the size

    The movie characters are larger in bot mode than carbots, even though I always imagined them around the same size. MMC's Arcee is shorter than FT's. So depending on your lineup it might be fine.

    Hey! I've always found the alt mode on Hot Flame to be a bit squishy, and I finally figured out why. There's actually a way that it's supposed to tab together more solidly, but the tolerances are such that the canopy of the car doesn't stay tabbed-in fully. I was able to do a very minor mod to fix it, and now the alt-mode is more solid.

    Here's a video to show what I did for anyone who's interested:

    Thinking of picking him up....if I wanted to get some other IDW style characters to go with him - is he like Voyager CHUG scale like MMC stuff is?

    Any recommendations on who he looks good next to? I like how he looks next to CW Magnus
