MP-10 was made in scale with MP-9, but as Rodimus Prime.
This new figure represents Hot Rod. Same size as the other Autobot cars. And likely newer and better engineering than MP-9.

I agree that a new MP Megatron is long overdo. imo Hasui needs to be the one to do it.

Once Blurr and Kup are made, then worry about his scale. It's just making the wait time for Jazz, Brawn, Sunstreaker, and the rest of the Ark crew longer. Maybe there's licensing issues going on behind the scenes perhaps?

There's no way. If he's in scale with Prowl, he'll be smaller than Ironhide, who looks to be a new size, inbetween the standard car and Optimus size.

But then he wouldnt be in scale with MP Magnus.

Heck, most of us would have welcome a redesigned Megatron, but instead they only go back to Hot Rod/Rodimus to "fix".

This time around, I think they would release Rodimus Prime as his own mold. Maybe a 150-200$ leader sized bot. Also, the "trailer" part may not separate, or just a very small part would come off à la MP Ironhide as a G1 hommage.
Hot Rod will only be his owncar-sized mold for sure. Having a separate "trailer" accessory would make no sense because the bot would never be Rodimus Prime. Unless said trailer partform as an armor upgrade to make Hot Rod into Rodimus Prime. Maybe a 3p company would do it, but I don't think Takara would go that route.

Exactly! I can't understand the logic behind re-doing a character because "it could be done better" ahead of unique Decepticon characters.
Hell, if you want to re-do a character, re-do the **** seekers and give them coneheads! GUARANTEED MONEY FOR LESS DESIGN TIME!

Would the coneheads, Insecticons and Shockwave be the only decepticons to do before the movie that arent Combiners or Triple Changers?

I'll gladly take an all-new MP Rodimus! MP-09 Rodimus was one of the worst Transformers to come out. He should've been Rodimus or he should've been Rodimus Convoy. Trying to do both just sacrificed the entire toy ... so much so that Rodimus Convoy's vehicle mode had more in common with a Pretender vehicle than the original Rodimus. This picture says it all:
