I think that Hot Rod looks GORGEOUS from a deco standpoint. The bolder color choices and greater contrast between the red shades just pop all around. The darker saturation on the orange and blank give a great contrast as well.
But I’m not sure, after the Studio Series, if there’s really enough there to get a buy from me. Especially not since a LOT of what I really dig about the release comes down to deco. Even if Hasbro skimps on some details, they can tweak colors enough to get close. And with Hot Rod being a “main character” these days…I’m willing to roll a dice on a redeco down the line.

I just saw local specialty store pre-order prices for the Hot Rod, and WOWWWWW that's not likely to happen for me. Not when I could buy like 3 or 4 SS86 ones for that amount.
NGL, that kinda stings. I was hoping to see if the design turned out more sturdy on an MP budget.

I thought it was Studio Series when I first saw it.
im still not unconvinced that it isn't
in b4 someone who doesn't understand what a joke is to chime in with how it can't be ss86 because it's mp-scale and mp-price and not voyager price
But I thought MP price is the new Voyager price...
Isn't the upcoming Hotrod figure an "official OSKO" (for want of a better term) of the SS one? They've basically used the SS figure as a basis to add some extra bells and whistles in order to make a larger figure that's easier to transform than a most other MP figures whilst having the same amount of details as one?
However, the price isn't reflective of this, IMO.
I kinda regret not experiencing MP-01. It's flawed, and a lot of the flaws were obvious at the time, but it's a piece of history.
I got one back when they came out, and I thought it was the coolest thing that ever had been or ever would be. Still looks great with Alternators, has a pretty good robot-mode scale thing going on with them even if he's actually too small based on the vehicle mode.

I don't really collect MPs... but if I did, this would be the Prime I would go with.
