MP-10 was made to bring the scale down, but when that was made it was shown to be more in scale with MP-09, so there's really no immediate need for a redo, like there is with MP-05. I don't pretend to call the shots for TT, but I'd rather see either another stab at Megatron, or new characters before revisiting Hot Rod. That's my two cents, and before people take me apart, I know that's exactly what they're worth.
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.
I get that this is Hot Rod, not Rodimus Prime, but why bother getting a Hot Rod into scale with characters like Prowl that he never shared screen time with. 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?
