He’s not only got more functioning joints when in his robot mode, but also has generally a greater range of motion on those joints. In particular, Hot Rod winds up with an articulation scheme far improved compared to his Deluxe Class companions. This is, however accurate for Hot Rod from a scaling standpoint, and more over, the higher price point of the figure comes less from sheer sizing of the figure, and more from the complexity of the tooling and engineering. Given he’s a Voyager Class figure, Hot Rod does seem a little bit on the smaller side, being more in line with Deluxe scaling. In his robot mode, Hot Rod stands 5 3/4 inches tall and he has 28 practical points of articulation. He’s figure 86-04 (because 86-03 is the last of the Deluxes, which is Blurrr, and I didn’t wind up grabbing him…yet…).

But, with it being the 35th anniversary of the movie where he’s definitely the lead, it’s hard to say that it was truly a shock that he was included in some sort of capacity this year, now was it? THE FIGURE ITSELFĪutobot Hot Rod makes up one half of the Voyager Class component for the ’86-inspired Studio Series line-up. That being said, he has, as of yet, been absent from the latest incarnation of the line with all of its centralized scaling and such. Even without being the franchise’s lead, Hot Rod’s made out pretty well on the toy front. Obviously, this didn’t stick, but that sure was the plan. Transformers: The Movie introduced a whole new slate of characters, and at the center of this new cast was the new planned lead for the franchise, Hot Rod, who would become Rodimus Prime before the film’s end. We just picked up this Hot Rod figure and you’re already telling me he’s irrelevant? “Hot Rod embraces his destiny, becoming Rodimus Prime and defeating Unicron.”
