Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Core Autobot Hot Rod Action Figure - 8 and Up, Multicolor, One Size, F3012

Product Information

It is currently unknown what differences there are between the two releases; the Hasbro versions likely have new manufacturing tampographs, at least. Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Hot Rod's Micromaster form is a simplified version of his original toy, transforming into the same futuristic race car. The included display base/stand is the generic 2013 Retaliation version, with a tampographed Autobot insignia.

His left arm also hides a flip-out "comm unit" that is clearly supposed to be the buzzsaw he used for a brief period in the Movie. As with his original toy, Rodimus Prime's trailer opens up into the Mobile Defense Bay, now through a spring-loaded transformation activated by pressing a button on the trailer's roof. Titanium Cybertron Heroes Rodimus Prime is a mostly die-cast metal transforming toy based loosely upon the original Generation 1 Rodimus Prime toy.Rodimus Prime comes with one of four holographic Golden Disk cards from wave 1, which reveals a possible destiny of a key character.

Part of the fourth wave of the Combiner Wars subline imprint of Generations, Legends Class Rodimus is a redeco and new-head retool of Generations Legends Class Decepticon Blackjack, transforming into a red sports car to robot and back! However, this is one rare case where the mistransformation actually works to further the intended homage, as the original 1986 Hot Rod toy this one is emulating also had the vehicle mode exhaust pipes and wheels exposed on the sides of the legs. The car mode parts remain bare plastic rather than painted over in red paint like the Kiss Players verison. Hot Rod can use the Siege Battle Master Firedrive (although you can't attach him on Hot Rod's vehicle engine) if one is okay with simultaneously having two Firedrives.In this case, it is the shot of Hot Rod about to open the Matrix as he stands within Unicron's innards. Internationally, the 2-pack was also available via other exclusive venues, namely Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Walmart in Mexico; Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company) in the Netherlands; Intertoys in Germany; and ICA Hemma in Sweden. This release features new Generation One toy-inspired flame decos on the car's hood and sides, several sections (notably the roof and the area around the headlights) painted a sparkly dark maroon color (to mimic the two toned coloration of the front of Rodimus Prime's truck mode in the animation), as well as a white face and hands and an orange hood.
