This may bring up a terrible long debate. Probably easy for people like us who have no fear of modding a toy to say this. But a safety/quality tested and checked brand toy's perfection should not rely on consumers' modification. Unless they print this on their box "Toy may have problems, please fix yourself". Generations Blitzwing falls in to this category as well.

As a figure that was made to fulfill the roles of Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime, it was destined to be inherently flawed and compromised. I appreciate TakaraTomy's intent of, I suppose, provide one stop shopping for TF collectors, however, I definitely would prefer two separately designed toys.
A MP Hot Rod, in scale with the current standard for MP figures, with a design and specifically engineered to function as Hot Rod is what I would like.
I'm not that big a fan of the Rodimus Prime design but even so, I would welcome a MP Rodimus, done right, appropriately scaled and designed just to function as Rodimus Prime.
I applaud the effort made in bringing a design like MP-09 to market but aside from getting an A for effort, the execution was not up to what I expect from a premium, high end toy line like Masterpiece.
