In-Hand - Transformers Titans Return Deluxe Autobot Hot Rod and Twinferno

hey all right

Hot Rod looks amazing, not to sure about Twinferno and his arms though. Too bad we didn't get to see their titanmasters.

Yes! I was right I know how the back section transforms you have to pull it out then there's a mushroom peg you have to twist it around on then it is flat like in the box.

I'm the opposite. I think Twinferno looks awesome, but Hot Rod is kinda Meh

Seems like the yellow spoiler clashes with the orange on the rest of Rodimus.

Hate to nitpick, but if I don't bring this out, my brother will have a hissy fit (being a big Hot Rod person). The article calls Roddy "Rodimus". It's actually "Autobot Hot Rod". Small nitpick, but it's been forever since we've gotten a toy named Hot Rod.

Da freak? The spoiler is like, a Hot Rod classic. Every Roddy (except now Movie Hot Rod) featured it. And I really really don't see the orange there. He's red, I'm pretty sure.

You know, I checked three times to make sure I had the right name (I mix them up sometimes if I'm not newsing three weeks' straight) and I thought I had the right one. Clearly not! Thanks!

Anyone else notice Voltron in the background?

Yup; the second thing I noticed just after how good Hot Rod looked.

Twinferno looks good but I'm not feeling his dark crystal muppet hands.

He means the bright and loud yellow color of the spoiler clashes with the more subtle and faded orange color of Hot Rod's thighs, fists, chest, shoulder joints, and other little pieces since faded orange, not bright yellow, is this Hot Rod's toy secondary color.

Twinferno would be perfect if he had wrist swivels. Still, he's an absolute must-buy as it is.

His crotch looks like a sad anime octopus...

Boy! When you word it like that I get even more excited about him.
It's a Beast Wars thang. It might grow on you.


So, in all my 22 years of adult toy collecting, I have never had the dream scenario of walking into a store/toy aisle to find an employee unpacking the thing I'm after. Until last night!



The irony is, neither of these are for me.



These two are for some bros who have no access to Walgreens. I have the SDCC version which does the job just fine.

dang you cobo

Everyone is talking about wave three yet I have not seen anything from wave two other than the legends class

The only thing I don't care for on the Hot Rod figure is the gigantic shoulders. Otherwise it's acceptable.

I'd like to see comparison shots with Generations Voyager Brainstorm.

Here you go, partner!

Dang Cobo! I tried 2 this morning and no luck.

Dont worry they will come, they've all been bought by the big stores so its only a matter of time before they release them. They are trickling out slowly in Canada too with Wave 2 deluxes finally being found at walmart.

The states will get them too, its just taking time. However, Wave 2 taking time to show up means we probably wont see wave 3 until 2017 (my guess).

It just happened earlier this year:


I think its all due to getting the name back for the film:



So be ready for a lot of more toys called hot rod.

The person was talking about colours clashing only.

Shame about him not looking more like his MTMTE self, but I can of course understand why and he'll be good enough for my shelf if Chromedome is. Tall shoulders really help with that.

Hot Rod looks good but goddamnit I wish this fad of hollow weapons would end already. At least put hatches on them like on Hardhead if you're going to do this so they don't look awful all the time. On the plus side, provided I can get good at 3D modelling I could make a killing selling ammo/tech detail block things on Shapeways to fill in all the hollow bits on these weapons.
