Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Core Autobot Hot Rod Action Figure - 8 and Up, Multicolor, One Size, F3012

Product Information

He is armed with two "Photon Laser" weapons, each with their own distinct sculpt, which fit in both his fists; only one gun can be equipped in vehicle mode, in the port in his engine block. In the London Escape scene from Transformers: The Last Knight, Hot Rod diverts the authorities as Bumblebee races to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum. Dark of the Moon Rodimus was developed independently of Hot Rod, but shares the same article for simplicity and because they are both based off Generation 1 Hot Rod. Internationally, the 2-pack was also available via other exclusive venues, namely Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Walmart in Mexico; Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company) in the Netherlands; Intertoys in Germany; and ICA Hemma in Sweden.

Upon his original release, Hot Rod had unpainted die-cast metal feet, while later editions of the figure used black plastic. The next day, as she prepared to leave for work, Hot Rod sprang into action, locking her in and racing through the London streets. At some point after arriving on the planet, he somehow picked up a French accent that he did not know how to get rid of, something that caused him much frustration.The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US, and TakaraTomy Mall in Japan.

As the port is 5mm compatible, Hot Rod can mount with other smaller weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle. As seen on his package art, his sword can combine with Legacy Iguanus and Skywarp's accessories to create a larger weapon. Autobot Hot Rod also features orange-yellow paint on his vehicle headlights, and an Autobot sigil on his vehicle hood/robot chest, just like his Henkei and Reveal the Shield figures. The Transformers: The Movie is the source of inspiration for the rest of his additional gadgets and features, including a built-in version of the retractable visor from the Lookout Mountain scene, (dropped over the figure's eyes by rotating the circular "ears" on its helmet), the buzzsaw he used in battle on Quintessa, and the welding torch he used to repair Kup.If bought in Asian countries outside of Japan, Rodimus Convoy comes with a collector coin, the first of the Masterpiece figures to do so. Brave and patient, he has been undercover on Earth for a long time after having been assigned to watch over Viviane Wembly, who he has grown very fond of. Dark of the Moon "Rodimus" is a redeco of the Universe Legends Class Rodimus, transforming into an orange sports car.

This version was only available in an e-HOBBY exclusive 3-pack with a battle-damaged Kup and Scrapheap.The Japanese text on the packaging is ホットロディマス / "Hot Rodimus", but the English subtitle says "Hot Rod". Hasbro then took this deco, altered it, and released it in the US line at mass retail as the new character Excellion. Other international exclusive venues include Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Líder in Chile; and ICA Hemma in Sweden. The included display base/stand is the generic 2013 Retaliation version, with a tampographed Autobot insignia.
