I would have never expected this particular take on the mold - as written elsewhere, I would have thought the Paradron medic/Lifeline to be released much earlier in the line than the likes of this.
Anyway, I have zero interest into it, doubly so since the Arcee mold is really not the best - it's much more well suited to Nightbird IMHO. If there's a character that would have benefitted from a new mold, that is her.

Agreed; Paradron Medic or Lifeline would have been a better use.

As speculated, MPG Hot Rod is just a tweaked SS figure. I don't mean that in a bad way.

The SS was already superior to the MP2.0.
So, by filling in the hollow spaces and adding a part or two and readjusting the scale, it's easy to turn it in a proper MP.

I don't think anybody doubted this based on the pictures we had seen.

Well, they could've done something. I'm going for it since I enjoy the SS86 transformation.

This new MP Hot Rod is really an improved SS86.
Also, no pure nightmarish "muh cartoon accuracy."
Generations style MPs are the best.

So this a is picture someone took from the Shizuoka Hobby Show and I think the Predacon Rhinox and Beast Wars Galvatron are Masterpiece releases. I haven't seen any pics focusing on those two yet and Rhinox is standing next to a prototype of Blaster and his tapes which is impossible to tell here, but he is.

No, Galvatron is not MPG, he's New Legends. Predacon Rhinox (w/ a toy-accurate head for some reason) and Blaster are MPG.
