Can't replace as the size is too different.
Yes i replaced but i think it was in the works before news of the new Hot rod arrived. Mp-09 is such a disappointment that i would rather go without a Rodimus Prime than have 09 (the trailer was great though!). I don't think even a reissue with fixes can save him.
Yeah same designer. I have my fingers crossed that Hot Rod isn't fragile. MP-9 is one of those figures I worry about breaking if the shelf were knocked and he fell over. I know I would probably have to be hit by an earth quake to have that happen, but Queensland has had some earth quakes recently including a nearby one.
According to TFWiki:

I'll be honest, if there was an earthquake, MP-9's fragility would be the least of my concerns ;)
Got Hot Rod and coin delivered from PC this afternoon! Haven't had time to open him though.
Watched the review on YouTube and yes, it is definitely worth keeping this one.
Mine has issues. Oddly enough similar issues to what I experienced with MP-09.
all four wheels don't sit flush on the ground in car mode. The collar stops them. I haven't had a very good play yet to see if I'm just missing something in the transformation, but yeah.
Spoiler/wing not straight. When looking at the car from front/rear the wing is tilted to one side slightly. Not much but enough to annoy.
Otherwise another very impressive figure.
It even has the same smell as MP-09 :D
