Are those both the same toy?

Cool. Among the originals is Hot Rod a better toy than G1 Rodimus Prime?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Wheeljack likes to sport a pair of Hot Pants.

Of course if you want to find some rarer homages look for Cybertron Excellion.

I thank you greatly. I own most of those already so I guess I have the best then. You didn't mention anything from the G1 era, titanium, or Alternators so I assume they don't make the cut for you right?

Excellion should be one to try to find unless you are looking for actual Hot Rod / Romdimus named TFs.
