That is impressive.
This Hot Rod follow the "mini MP" trend of the WFC trilogy. I like it and look foward the other figures of the line.

Yep. I want it. That's all there is to it. I don't have a hot rod, that's a really dang good hot rod.
Hopefully the Dinobots turn out just as good.

Well, it's been a LONG time since I've had to eat my words on ANYTHING, but it seems I was dead wrong about this one. I initially dismissed both this figure and Kup, but after that video, I'm sold whether it's a deluxe or a voyager. It looks so good, in both modes, but especially in robot mode which to me is more important. So yeah, this is bought on sight. Now I'm more hopeful about the rest of the line. Bring them on!

Although I have and like the Henkei Hot Rod, I will get this version for sure... And probably Kup too.
The accessories are just icing; the figure itself is really impressive.
I'm assuming it's a voyager class.
Now I really can't wait to see the Dinobots!!!!

How could they have failed so badly with Arcee, but win so much with Hot Rod and Scourge!? They look incredible!
I guess the only quibble I have with HR is that the yellow on the hood mars the look. Why did they mold that in yellow? So wierd.
When TR Scourge came in I didn't see the point because Universe Scourge did the job well. But this guy blows both of them right out of the water. I just wish there weren't so many army builders coming out at the same time.

He looks alright but the fact we're in a timeline where a basic car chest transformation is apparently too complex to pull off without resorting to faux-parts irks me something chronic.

As long as the figures in this line don't have QC issues like loose joints, this just goes to show what these companies are capable of...
Also, as great as this Hot Rod looks, I hope it's not $50.
Looks like I'll also be getting that Scourge!

Voyager, actually, if the leaks are true (which they have been so far). That's how he can afford to have so many accessories.

Hot Rod in particular kinda has to have a fake chest in order to be animation accurate in either mode, in robot mode it's smaller and differently shaped than in vehicle mode. When he transforms from robot to vehicle, his chest/hood literally grows and changes shape. They can't do that on a physical figure.

Looks Cool, but not in my range of collecting. I am glad for those who are excited. I will make one observation however... I'm not sure where the idea started that SS 86 toys were intended for kingdom, but just wouldn't fit in that line up, but I think we can put that to rest. Like or hate them, it seems these toys were always intended for SS.
I've been given a lot of flak lately because I like to categorize my toys according to how they are released, but it is important. Of course liking toys from every line is ok, and display them how you want, it's your collection. But I can guarantee, a Kingdom Hotrod would have been very different than this one. Not saying better or worse, just obviously engineered differently.

Yeah, I really don't get why this bothers people so much... If having an alternate part helps make the proportions of the robot better, then what's the issue?
Why does it matter?? If someone wants to claim they'd rather have all alt mode parts used in the bot mode... WHY??? I'm really asking... Is it because that makes a figure have a "pure transformation"?
Again, I'd ask why does this matter...
Imo, I think it's an awesome part of the engineering design that a figure's parts appear to shape/size shift from one mode to the other.

"Fake robot parts" is a really old concept and a necessity. Even the 400$+ MP figures do it because black magic or science-fiction level nanotech dosen't exist.
