    Blow this up to mp scale and make a couple minor changes and you'd have my attention. (That or shrink it down to legends scale)

    MP is dead. Surpassed by that which was supposed to be below it.

    I'm not even a fan of hot rod but i admit this is an instant buy. A $30 figure is better than masterpiece what's not to love!?

    I expected Hot Rod to look great.
    This blows my expectations away.

    Hats off to Takara Tomy and Hasbro. That is a fine Hot Rod toy with simple but very effective engineering. If this is a taste of things to come in the SS86 line, then I'm all in.

    I just watched the review with the 86 movie soundtrack playing on another tab.

    Best way to watch it.

    I was in on this figure anyway, because Hot Rod is my favorite TF of a time and I buy them all. But this looks amazing.

    Between this and the Scourge/Cyclonus leaks, I am absolutely aching to see Galvatron. Could this finally be it? Coyld we finally get an amazing, official Galvatron worthy of the design?

    Stick the landing Hastek. You're so close to an absolutely perfect anniversary for this film. Make it happen, and make a Galvatron worthy of this Hot Rod.

    Hype is now off the charts. Studio Series '86 looks amazing. Kingdom looks amazing. Hasbro is finally taking all my money next year.

    @Phamduc, could you please say what differences, if any, are there between Hot Rod's and Optimus' matrixes?

    Looks more like a WFC styled figure than a Studio Series.

    I think the first repaint will be Shattered Glass.

    Personally... Never liked the Goatee

    I collect pretty much strictly MP for my G1-style figures but if this is the standard for the Studio Series 86, then I may just be picking all of them up for their own separate shelf. Hot Rod looks incredible for a retail Transformer.

    Would it be bold of me if I were to say, that this is better than the Masterpiece version?:confused:
