Yeah I'm quite relieved he scales well with them, I thought from earlier pics he would be much smaller

Coloured prototype MP Hot Rod looks oddly lanky like G1 Rodimus Prime toy.
However, i think that's because the picture itself is distorted (I don't have an MP-22 to compare against the photo, but i think the MP-22 cab looks unusually short in the photo).
Sounds like MP Ultra Magnus is being reissued at the same time, to go with Hot Rodimus... and a Legends (Generations) Springer reissue (minor redeco), for a bit of a 1986 Movie anniversary theme happening (despite that movie coming out in in Japan in 1989).
It seems that TakaraTomy are commemorating Hasbro's anniversary of the movie.
Shockwave looks great, but a translucent light up blaster arm would have been really good. Sure cartoon accurate, but c'mon. :) Here's hoping for fist and blaster accessory pieces. Reflector and a mini gun mode shockwave would be really good inclusions.
up for preorder on AE
come on HLJ...
Clearer pictures of MP Hot Rod in both modes, and with included gimmicks.
More pics on TFW now, they've got you covered!

Those prices look very good. 5600¥ for Hot Rod will come out to about $66 then add say $20-25 for shipping is pretty close to PC's first run at $85. Shockwave pricing of 11,760¥ is also pretty good, including shipping will likely be a bit above initial PC pricing but in line with their current asking price.
I'm waiting to pre order from NY once theirs are up. Shockwave looks amazing and I love Hot Rod's alt mode.
Yeah 2nd run PC looks over priced now when you compare to AE .
Luckily for me I had rewards points to lower it but given a choice now I will try ny
After checking what I paid I have basically just slightly cheaper than AE as I bought shockwave cheap but hot rod is expensive.
