MP Laserwave & Hot Rod Release date, price & colour photos

Shockwave looks great but why is the con symbol on the forearm
Hot Rod looks rather plankish as a bot but car mode is spot on.

I'd prefer it looking like this.

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).

More pics on TFW now, they've got you covered!

Just got emails from BBTS they have dropped their initial price estimations somewhat

I don't really care much for Hot Rod - I'm perfectly happy with my MP9.

Shockwave on the other hand... I'm seriously considering it. Not sure if I'll try preordering or if I'll take my chances with eBay upon release again.

On the colour: I don't mind the colours in the photos, but I can't help but wonder if the lighting in the photos is making the colours a bit lighter than they actually are.

Please let Hot Rod be easier to transform He's the only MP figure I have I've ever transformed once and said nope, never again.

Really? I know that MP Rodimus isn't the easiest toy to transform, but I don't think he's that hard. I can think of quite a few similarly or even more challenging toys to transform, such as:
* Break (and he's only a Basic!)
* Mach Kick (Deluxe!)
* Big Convoy
* Binaltech Wheeljack & Grimlock
* MP Megatron
^The last 3 are ones in my collection that I simply do not enjoy transforming and have only ever done so a few times.

Well from a vehicle mp point of view i am with him, i didn't enjoy the transformation process and left it in robot form. The hasbro version was actually better but i still didnt like it.

I am sure some people can probably transform ultra magnus three times before you are half done with Rodimus
