Transformers MPG Hot Rod / Rodimus Teased

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal 1 day 16h ago at 8:17am CST 1,337 views
Thanks to Takara, we have another teaser to share with you today, that of a re-do of G1 Hot Rod / Rodimus in the MPG line!

The teaser does not offer us too much information, but a full reveal cannot be too far behind. This will be a 3rd attempt at an MP-styled Hot Rod / Rodimus, following the early Rodimus Prime and then more cartoon-inspired MP which also received a Targetmaster repaint. Time will tell if this is an improvement on those 2 figures.

Check out the teaser below, and watch this space for a reveal in the near future!

I reckon a new take on Rodimus Prime is long overdue, despite me having no interest into it whatsoever. I wonder if they'll stick to the Hot Rod "evolution" gimmick or go for separate figures.

If this is a new mold then I just hope they stick to it either being a Hotrod, or a Rodimus Prime this time. That said I feel like this is just going to be another repaint of a old MP.

Another Hot Rod. I love Masterpiece, but it's beyond stale now. Just the same characters all over again. Plenty of G-1 characters left to do. Hell, plenty of Beast Wars characters to do as well.

I once owned the first MP Rodimus. It was gigantic and awkward. I was never impressed with the 2.0 version so I skipped. Will this 3.0 version finally succeed?

The only way they'll get me to purchase this is if it's a simpler transformation AND the Targetmaster is included.

I would prefer if it was magenta, but this is a fine looking bot.

Well, that's certainly a better sculpt in some ways. Not crazy about the "wings", but this is "Style Gen" like the upcoming Optimus so I guess they have a lot of liberties they can take. I doubts this will be a simple transformation, but the Style Gen series is supposed to be simpler so I guess we'll wait and see.

Very interesting. Reminds me a little too much of Commander Roddy.

Just hope it's not $350 bucks.

My Roddy shelf will need to make room for him.

Also, can't wait for comparisons to MP-28 who is now 10 Years old.

Also, also, will it come with his targetmaster Firebolt or will we have to wait for a second release to see that.
And we'll get yet another fishing rod to toss into the accessory bin never to be seen again.

Hasbro priced Style Gen Optimus Prime at $175 (BBTS is saying $200) so smaller Rodimus should be closer to $150. Hopefully.

Damn tariffs...
