I would have never expected this particular take on the mold - as written elsewhere, I would have thought the Paradron medic/Lifeline to be released much earlier in the line than the likes of this.
Anyway, I have zero interest into it, doubly so since the Arcee mold is really not the best - it's much more well suited to Nightbird IMHO. If there's a character that would have benefitted from a new mold, that is her.

Agreed; Paradron Medic or Lifeline would have been a better use.

Those colours make her look kinda nude! Not complaining...

As speculated, MPG Hot Rod is just a tweaked SS figure. I don't mean that in a bad way.

The SS was already superior to the MP2.0.
So, by filling in the hollow spaces and adding a part or two and readjusting the scale, it's easy to turn it in a proper MP.

I don't think anybody doubted this based on the pictures we had seen.

Well, they could've done something. I'm going for it since I enjoy the SS86 transformation.

This new MP Hot Rod is really an improved SS86.
Also, no pure nightmarish "muh cartoon accuracy."
Generations style MPs are the best.

So this a is picture someone took from the Shizuoka Hobby Show and I think the Predacon Rhinox and Beast Wars Galvatron are Masterpiece releases. I haven't seen any pics focusing on those two yet and Rhinox is standing next to a prototype of Blaster and his tapes which is impossible to tell here, but he is.

No, Galvatron is not MPG, he's New Legends. Predacon Rhinox (w/ a toy-accurate head for some reason) and Blaster are MPG.

I finally found the time to unpack and play with my MPG-16 Nucleon Quest Convoy. I was sure that I would have to look up the instructions to transform him, but I remembered how MPG Ginrai went and I could do it easily without. As expected, the guns are still annoying to deal with, but seems more solid than the regular version. He also looks absolutely perfect beside HASLAB Victory Saber.
