Product Information

He can be hotheaded, but he's always a well meaning, admirable lad and a brave and honorable fighter. So, Hot Rod’s vehicle mode is a swoopy, curvy concept car, with a big, exaggerated spoiler in the back, giant chromed exhaust pipes down the sides, and a big engine block up front. Robot and alt modes are both spot-on (with the exception of his "collar", which should be red, but would probably be a nightmare for production).

The car mode is just awesome and the robot mode has many features including putting on sunglasses or whatever they are and he has a buzz saw as well.

In fact, the whole thing feels really solid and durable, and unlike a lot of G1 toys from the first two years, I don’t feel like I need to wear kid gloves to handle it. Here’s the obvious rub: There’s virtually no articulation in this form, and Hot Rod’s almost a statue.Hot rod has been a personal top favorite for me since I started getting into transformers and I am so glad that this figure has been able to do him justice. As I’ve said many times previously, Hot Rod’s one of my favourite Transformers, so I had to own a piece of history in the form of the original Generation One toy, or at least a re-release of it.

Accessories aren’t lacking in the slightlest, you get everything you would want out of a hot rod figure accessories, going from the basics with the blasters all the way to including multiple effect parts for the smokestacks and matrix of leadership that also comes included. Transformers: Legacy brings together fan-favorite characters from across the Transformers multiverse.
