They certainly are taking their time to get to BBTS. I only ordered Kup but I might have to snag a sharkticon if they’re available in a couple weeks. I found Scourge in box for cheap on eBay with free shipping so it’d be cool to have the sweep head and their deco as an alpha for my legion of sharkticons I already have. Still not gonna bother with Hot Rodimus. Looks nice but I’ve been heard the issues and POTP is starting in a couple months and that one will do. Though I do love his colors

I really love that they're doing the Targetmasters. I had Kup and Recoil and a kid and loved em!

I'd at least buy Stepper, maybe Artfire too (having the MP really discourages his purchase).

Maybe they're saving Fracas and Nightstick for special redecos of PotP Jazz as Stepper, and of PotP Inferno as Artfire?

I get it, I really do, but the Million Publishing Stepper and Artfire were so pitch perfect that my desire for any further releases of these characters in a Classics line is gone.

After our sighting in Japan of the Takara Tomy Transformers Legends figures from yesterday, we have a follow up story focusing on the LG45 Targetmaster Hot Rod toy - in particular, the Titan Master facebackpack, as spotted by site owner Seibertron: the lips have irregular bumps instead of a smooth sculpt!
Images showing off the issue are included below!
Clear
Bumpy
There's a production run error on the face of legends hot rod. I received two different shipments from separate Japanese retailer. 4 of the 6 I received have a flaw on the lower left lip. There are some noticeable bumps on the lip. The one xRotorstormx sent a pic of also has this problem.
Just an fyi to those looking to buy him. You might have to get a few from different sources to get one that doesn't have the flaw.

They're the same thing
Its Herpes. HotRod shouldn't be so eager with the "hot" or the "rodding" it seems.

There are soooooooo many herpes jokes you can make about this, and they're all wonderfully inappropriate.

This sucks! I was going to order this Takara HotRod but there is no way I'm going to now with the chance that I could receive Herpes HotRod. I guess I'll just have to wait until I see him at a convention and can inspect his lips myself. Can't believe it lol

Ok, so I was annoyed for a minute. Until I looked at my Hasbro version and realized it had the flaw as well. I never noticed it.. Granted it may show more on the Takara version, but I’m not as concerned now.

So now I will have to look at the other Transformers on my shelf to see who Hot Lips Hot Rod caught his case of VD from.

OK, a bit more on the serious side, is this cosmetic problem due to molding, or an excess of paint?

It is molding. Both of my Titans Return Hot Rods have the same 2 bumps.

Just sent Roddy off to Doc Ratchet's office, so he should be able to keep his little problem under control.

I haven't checked yet but I wonder if Rodimus from the Chaos set suffered that same disgrace?
