"Wha sells this is the upscaled nature of this toy."
I'm guessing there's a typo there, unless I'm having a brain event.
ETA
Oh, just got it, it's a simple missing T to make wha into what. Whew, glad it wasn't my brain. I need that to live.

$72 for two deluxes? I dunno about protoform but deluxe DOTM OP is NOT worth $36 in any universe I live in. Even at half that price it'd be a ripoff. I hope it's just local market forces driving the price and it'll be much cheaper if/when it winds up in other locales, because holy smokes.

featuring a $99.99 SGD (72 USD) two-pack evolution-esque set of Deluxe Optimus Primes: the Dark of the Moon mold and the 2007 Protoform mold!

Definitely going to have to pick this up. It's a massive retool, in all the good ways.
I wonder if they'll give us a traditional Hot Rod deco later down the road.

Some pretty impressive retooling going on here... reminds me a bit of Titans Return. Hasbro have upped their game in the mold re-use area and they've no intentions of going back.

Huh the only things that show it's a retool is the white/silver neck piece, the lower legs and feet and presumably the Transformation.
While it's a shame the chest is not raised and the feet are Lockdown's this Hot rod seems to be a good figure for him.

I'd have liked that Proto-form Optimus in the Cybertron (Beast) Optimus Prime Colours - or even Optimus Primal colours he's always reminded me of that toy & toys.
The Silver-gray is kinda plain looking - I need to see what it looks like next to the blue Grey Original - not something I'm going to be chasing though with much enthusiasm.
Optimus seems very similar to the original mould - I like the gun though.

Damn that Hot Rod is so very nice and being bigger than Lockdown is a big surprise too. A very likely purchase from me! I need to know which UK store will have him.
ALso it's a bit odd that on the box Bumblebee is the main focus and pushing Hot Rod off the edge. As if Bee doesn't have enough attention already.

From what I can tell, the lower legs and more importantly, the basic skeleton is reused from Lockdown, with the new Hot Rod parts built around it.

One of them is AOE Hounds gun and I don't know about the second but I assume it comes from the same place.

I still wish weapon packs were a thing. Just a whole bunch of random and awesome guns, swords, shields and such with 5mm posts. Easily equip weaponless figures without depriving others of theirs.

They were a thing at one point? :O
I really do wonder why Hasbro or Takara don't release playsets with their toys

Not for Transformers as far as I can recall but other toylines have had them including Hasbro's own GI Joe.

Id kill for a weapon pack of those little pistol rifles that come with Titan Return Blurr, Chromedome and their repaints since it's the perfect standard troop firearm.
More of a reason for me to bye multiple Getaways as Autotroopers.

That Hotrod will be a sure buy for me. Even at the dreaded 30$CAN price.
Only thing I don't like is he have the face of an ant for some reason.
