New images of Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-40 Targetmaster Hot Rodimus

Figured he'd be in "Rebirth" colours.

I like how tidy Firebolt looks but yeah I don't need this. I'm happy with my KO Hot Rod and custom Firebolt.

Your toyhax reprolabels on your hot rod look swish. I may get those at some point. I like the extra details the original toy had so this is neat.

Looks like this'll be an easy pass for me.

I really like them too!! If you look at some of my older pictures of him (when I first applied the labels) I had the forehead crest ones on there (similar to the detailing this new Hot Rodimus has) which looked great but kept peeling up on the edges. That, and the front tire tread labels not clearing enough, are the only complaints I have with that set!! Totes worth it.

This looks great. Those lower legs and that metallic dark red/maroon, ooh, too nice

Oh I'm not hating, I'm just glad it isn't much different than what I already have. If it was, I'd be sad and have to buy the new!! It does look great though!! I am interested to see if they resolved any clearance issues though. It would be nice!!

Sigh, getting one.

It is just different enough isn't it!! The legs are growing on me!

Yeah I'm not a big fan of cartoon accuracy as such and find it all a bit bland and empty looking but those stickers really make the figure more to my tastes with the extra detailing. When Toyhax finally release The Last Knight Voyager Optimus Prime stickers (they've mentioned sets for two TLK figures have been made for next month's update but didn't say which) I'll likely add the MP Hot Rod sticker set to my order too.

*Awaits picture*

I vaguely remember the image, but I know you'll find it

Personally, a new deco and Offshoot was exactly what I expected.

As for that new deco though, it confuses me...what is it supposed to represent?

Considering I have MP-28, TRU Rodimus Prime and an MP-09 trailer, I can happily pass on this. Wallet spared!
Now they'll probably announce an MP Omega Supreme for $600 and I'll start crying again
