Does anyone know if the classics Hot Rod sticker set would work good with the new 2 pack release of the figure? Thanks in advance.

Not all of it, as the stickers are the same color as the figure. The flames on the side are not just flames, but a square sticker with the red color underneath. The Classics and Reveal the Shield are too different.

The chest sticker might be a good way to make the new version look like he actually has flames painted on him though. That's why I'll get the set.

I've been wondering this myself. It seems like the chest stickers and at least most of the robot mode stickers should work pretty well on the new figure, but the stickers with Classics Rodimus's colour might not look very good. However, I am thinking that since on the pictures on the Reprolabels website, the stickers on the figure in the picture they use look too brightly coloured for the figure, there is a possibility that the red on the stickers wouldn't look too bad on the RtS figure, although it is also possible that the stickers in the picture had a different red than the red on the stickers they sell. It seemed to be the case with Classics Mirage, since in their pictures, the blue on the stickers matches very poorly with the blue on the figure, but in pictures I've seen that people have taken of Mirage with the stickers, the colours match much better. I'm planning to get the Reprolabels for Hot Rod once I can get the RtS figure, so I'm hoping that they'll look good enough.

i will see if I can snap a pic of my reprolabeled Classics and my RtS side by side so you can see the difference.

Maybe you could carefully trim away the parts that don't match?

You could also try writing to them and asking/suggesting that they make a new set for the new figure. I bet they would at least consider it, if they're not thinking about it already.
