Just got this info from the site link you provided.

3rd Party Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime

Earlier this morning we announced plans of a 3rd party company making the 2nd leader of the Autobots. We also let it be know that we did not have much else to go on at that time (size, version, company, and so forth). We were then shortly updated after that and here is what we know so far.

#1. The company in particular seems to be in MP mode, so we have a feeling what to expect there.

#2. No clue as to rather this will be the younger version or the after matrix version so until confirmation either is very possible and highly wanted on the fans list.

#3. Fans went nuts over their recent reveal of a triple changer. (HINT HINT)

This will probably be all this information we get on this for awhile considering what stage it is in, and keep in mind that sometimes plans change rather companies want them too or not so this may never even see light of day… Then again it could be what we are all preordering 7 months from now. So let’s hope for the best and hope they continue to impress they way they have.

I would love a better Rodimus Prime. The Fansproject one is feeling quite dated at this point.

Also felt the MP-09 Rodimus Prime toy was a terrible toy. It was fragile, Complex Transformation and skinny looking robot mode.

Sigh...more characters that have already be made. If its voyager I might be interested, but have no interest in MP scale.

Their is already a 3rd party CHUG toy line Voyager scale FansProjects Protector Rodimus Prime toy.

This DX9 Rodimus Prime toy is for those who want a 3rd party Masterpiece Leader scale toy.

Theres already an official MP Hot Rod/Rodimus with a trailer and a targetmaster. I dont get why they feel the need to try to top Takara instead of filling in gaps.

I have FP Protector. But I would like something a little more G1 cartoon accurate with less sharp edges and neo stuff going on in the design. Something that better matches the aesthetic of classics Hot Rod and is also more posable than protector.

I'd be down for either a Hot Rod for my MP collection (the official stands as Rodimus Prime) or a voyager class Rodimus Prime for my classics collection.

If a HasTak TF toy was made terrible or the wrong scale, Then it deserves to get a 3rd party TF toy. Many will say MP-09 was riddled with bad QC problems, too fragile, Skinny robot mode. No truck cab mode for Rodimus Prime.
