    Love it, especially the sword and the helmet. With some paint he'd be perfect, might pick him up. I also would love to see a toy-inspired custom/Toyhax set, the way the legs look remind me of that.

    He looks cute, but I'm perplexed they gave him a sword as his accessory and not a couple of tiny guns. Although it does look more conducive for the "energon weapon" gimmick, and Hot Rod having a sword isn't without precedent. Still, not what pops to mind when I think of the character.

    Why are people complaining? Looks like your typical core class figure

    I totally agree. The engineering just looks sub-par compared to the other Core Class figures and the paint is lacking… until I get the ToyHax for it

    This looks.....weird?

    Definitely is not the SS86 version of Hot Rod so I would take this as the "interpretation" of a WFC trilogy Hot Rod. A new refreshing desing for the character, I will wait until we have better pictures of it to have a final verdict. ;)

    I assume his leg is mistransformed and not folded up properly. If not, Roddy got some nasty megaleg going on.

    SS Hot Rod transformation was likely too hard to do on a core-class, but I dig him. He seems to have a cool nose-guard thing going on.

    It actuall got a lot of paint for a Core Class figure... though still not enough.

    I shouldn't have been expecting much for Core class but he looks a lot rougher than I imagined. He's more stylized than the others, and not in a good way. Somehow it makes him look more boring. Maybe it's just the lack of paint in robot mode and the ugly wheels that are hurting him so much.
