    I like the Animated version, but it’s a bit too stylized for me to use in a CHUG display. YMMV.

    My CHUG Hot Rod is the one that came with PotP Rodimus. I have the Classics version, but, IMHO, this one is all around better. Didn't want the TR Hot Rod because I didn't like him being a Titan/ Headmaster.

    That’s pretty nice what’s it made from?

    Titans Return until I can get another Cybertron Red Excellion/Hot Shot and upgrade its articulation and resemblance to Hot Rod. I generally prefer modern updates for CHUG bots, with a few exceptions.

    I have the MP Hot Rod which I really like, but for Classics I'm hoping to get either Hot Flame or Calidus. I really, really love the IDW look for Rodimus.

    Yep, this is exactly my reasoning. I have the classics, and although I love it, (for nostalgia reasons.) I think this one is better. Titans return is cool, but i dislike the headmaster gimmick; which I'm fine with the gimmick on other bots, I just think Hot Rod wears it really poorly.

    This would be my Hot Rod if I still collected Classics.

    I'm going with TR Hot Rod for my display. I do think the old Classics Hot Rod mold has a bit of charm to it (And the vehicle mode also looks pretty cool in a different way), but something about the way that figure always looks ..... off for me.

    That's how Roll
    TR is Hot rod POTP Inner bot is Rodimus, POTP Big bot is Power master Rodimus or apex Rodimus or Rodimus Magnus.

    I am looking to get the CW one so it can be Hot rod, ( a bumblebee sized one...) Then POTP inner bot stays Rodimus, TR becomes Hot Rodimus ( after Optimus returns) and POTP Big bot stays Roddy Mags

    The Takara remold of Titans Return Hot Rod is great. (Legends series, I think? Forgot and threw the package away)

    That my Generations version for now. Own some others, sold some others, but this one rocks and stays.

    I have the Henkei and the TR. They both look pretty terrible and cheap (TR looking cheaper than Henkei and Henkei having piss poor articulation). Both look better to me than POTP. Thinking of getting an MP KO Hotrod to be my CHUG Rodimus, as the choices there are terrible too.

    Maybe they're undecided about whether to pay extra for the Henkei version...

    I've got 4 of the 5 PW3 Rodimus toys, I don't have TM Rodimus Prime, and they've all had a turn as the main Rodimus in my collection. Although technically a power of the primes Hotrod evolution Rodimus Prime is my son's.

    The Reveal the Shield (Classics mold) Hot Rod vs Cyclonus version is mine. The bright paint makes him look "young".

    The Henkei with the FP Protector Armor is my Rodimus sometimes...

    Considering how TR HR is an utter POS, my Hot Rod remains to be the Classics one.
