I know it's a prototype, but the chest just looks a little wrong. The sides of the abdomen with bare clear plastic on the outside edge looks a little weird, like it's mistransformed. I'm sure a paint job will take my eyes off of it, but it just looks like there should be colored plastic framing those headlights.

With all the neat curvature on this guy I wonder what's goin' on with that ironing board chest piece. Hopefully that changes soon cuz it looks a little odd. Hoping for something a bit more aerodynamic and sexy(?). Can't wait to see him with his trusty fishing rod.

The fishing rod is a must. No reel, no deal!

It looks like there's another set of exhaust pipes in that backpack. Wonder what that means...

I think it's the side panels in vehicle mode folding back there during transformation. Remember, Hot Rod has pipes running down the length of his vehicle mode on both sides. His forearms only show the end sections of those pipes.Glarryg wrote:Va'al wrote:

My first thought as well, Soundwave looks a little short!

I would have expected him to be much larger. It seems like he's just about the same height (or possibly shorter) as the Seekers. Rodimus looks great, just hope they end up putting those screws at the bottom part of his arms on the other side of his wrists/lower forearms. It looks really bad just having a screw right there in the middle of some detailing.

[quote="Autobot032"]We reported on the possibility of a future Masterpiece Hot Rod, due to the tease shown in this article: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... oon/33914/
We're now able to confirm (yes, confirm!) it's legit! Takara Tomy is indeed making a Masterpiece Hot Rod and K-Hobby's Twitter feed is the first to show us the new proto in it's infancy.
As you can tell, this is still quite early in the process, but it at least gives you a good idea of what's coming and what we should be able to expect. Fantastic news for all of us!
You can compare MP-09 Rodimus Convoy to this new Hot Rod mold by checking out the 2010 release of Rodimus in our galleries by clicking here and here.
UPDATE: Thanks to fellow Seibertron news staffer, LOST Cybertronian, we've found new images courtesy of the hobbylog.jp blog and you can see them below:
Seeing this picture reminded me that we are going to get three Masterpiece vehicles with a primarily red and yellow color scheme within months of each other. In fact when Hot Rod gets colored his color scheme will be very similar to Road Rage with the flames on his hood instead of her phoenix.

Meh. Compared to Hot Rod, Shockwave's size is good enough for me. His forearm alone compared to Hot Rods... Yeah, even as prototypes we've got some winners here.
