    That's my hangup. I've heard good things about the Lambo mold but I've really cared about Sidewipe and uh, his yellow friend. What entices me the most about Deep Cover is I found one for less than Pulse's asking price at a GameStop this afternoon (right in front of Hot Rod) so I'm half considering going back to get one of them. I also think he might look nice next to Selects Blue Bluestreak, who I'm definitely adding to the shelf.

    I'm similarly not super attached to Hot Rod as a character but I know a good toy when I see one.

    I'm probably just going to get neither of them, and convince myself that I'm too old.

    The lambo mold is a great one, good transformation, looks great and fun figure.

    Hot Rod is a shiny deluxe with a few accessories. He is nice, but not really worth the extra money. The engineering of the arms/shoulder is bad regardless of how many defends it, you have to work to get proper poses. His transformation is not simple and he is somewhat fragile. Again, he does look nice and probably the best we'll get for a very long time, but unless you have an affinition for Hot Rod, you might not enjoy it as time passes and the novelty wears out.

    Yeah, this all being said, treat yourself to Deep Cover. You’ll be glad you have him when you get that Selects Bluestreak anyway.
    He’s the kind of toy that’ll make you feel young again. ;)

    I know some people have mentioned the Shockwave Lab Hot Rod set Sword of Primus for Rodimus Prime, but that's not a good idea. The sword is way too small....even for Hot Rod. The handle is also annoyingly tapered and oversized near the hilt, although open hand figures can still hold it (it will get stuck in regular hands).

    Photographs may make it seem not too bad, but in person, the SL sword is quite small.
