My only complaint is the baffling use of yellow plastic in car mode. Hopefully it's something reprolabels can fix. But it's not bad enough for me to take a pass on, that's for sure. But he looks incredible regardless.

I really don't understand that decision either... Although imo, the yellow in the knees is worse because it's seen in the robot mode.
The explanation for the use of yellow plastic for that hinge is the same as it usually is for odd color placements like that: Our old "friend" mold layout. Sometimes the sprue with the color that would blend runs out of room, so a part gets kicked to a different sprue.Gauntlet101010 wrote:I have every official mold of G1 Hot Rod (that transforms) and am VERY excited to add this guy to my collection.

"Improper" mold planning here, at least the parts gang-molded with the spoiler are small and mostly joints.
I still like my Classics molds, but... can I say that the SS looks too much like the cartoon for me?

Well, here's a mark against its appearance: It's not magenta. Does that bring it down enough to help?Jelze Bunnycat wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Too much like the cartoon? Intriguing is it because you think the deco is bland or other reasons?
It's the figure itself, odd as it sounds. It simply looks too perfect.

I'm still really disappointed about the faux-parts chest. We've seen from Animated and Titans Return/Legends that Hot Rod's design can easily be done without resorting to that... I was super-hyped for him right up until I realized they'd phoned it in like that, and now I just don't know.
He was in the movie, in a short but important role. He should get a figure.-Kanrabat- wrote:Siege/Earthrise Astrotrain is a nice toy, but it's severily undermined by the line's gimmicks.
So any chances of a new Leader '86 Astrotrain that is a proper "mini MP" with no superflous extra bits for the SS line?
