    Humans, so hard to please.

    Big buddy, ever wonder that the MP designer might be the same one responsible for this MP Lite? They must have learn some lessons on how to improve upon the design.

    I like this Hot Rod more than the MP one... wish they could upscale this release with some better hands and more paint!

    So the best version of Hotrod in existence is a $30 voyager. Huh.

    Having seen ton tons review. Hotrod himself is deluxe class (size) at best. However if he came with a full trailer I would probably be willing to pay leader class price for him. Hotrod all by himself is TIGHT, blows the MP out of the water.

    As for him being a commander class with the pricing... oof thats a tough call... so long as the trailer does both a Rodimus prime armored up mode that is JUST as good as Hotrod's robot mode and the G1 toy base mode I might be convinced. That armored up mode is gonna have to be good.

    However if the "controversal size" being mentioned is the armored Rodimus Prime himself rather than Hotrod then I might have an issue.

    obviously I'll leave final judgment to after we have seen the full figure as well as his price.

    Good point!

    Edited: removed comment that wasn't directed at me in the first place and my misunderstanding of that.

    He’s actually so close to the MP in a number of ways that I don’t really feel the need to get him...lol. They did a great job on him for sure.

    The Bay aesthetic is fugly. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - i guess. I'm glad G1 is getting this treatment. It's about time.

    This figure honestly seems perfect to me. It\'s absolutley incredible, and in a weird way, nostalgic. For some reason, watching Tonton\'s review of it brought me back to when I was a kid watching a review of MP figures. Hot Rod has so many little details that honestly put him on par, if not surpassing the masterpiece for me. I love the inclusion of his saw and his two guns, but those were to be somewhat expected. What I did NOT see coming were his visor, welding torch, and the Matrix with an effects part... WHICH HE CAN HOLD. The only thing that I wish was that he actually had a place to store the Matrix, but seeing as it\'s Hot Rod and not Rodimus, I can live without it. All in all, this is an amazing figure, and might honestly be an instant buy for me. I really hope they do more than just the figures we\'ve heard about so far. Maybe this could be where Generations goes next. It\'s honestly amazing to me that we\'re getting figures that surpass MP for retail price

    I\'m pretty excited for this, as is my son. We just got MP28 for $30 so it\'ll be very similar, but the scale with the WFC line will be nice. And that matrix effect piece is pretty badass. Hoping they do as good a job with Grimlock.

    You were insulting MP designers, and he pointed out that those same designers might be responsible for this awesome figure. I didn't see anybody being a dick.

    I like all three, so as a result I hate myself. It's the price I pay for the path I walk.
