One anomaly with Titans Return Hot Rod is that his weapon post and fist holes aren't actually 5mm but slightly wider. The result is that Hot Rod's guns are not compatible with other 5mm fist-hole sized toys, and other figures that can hold 5mm post weapons cannot hold Hot Rod's guns. This also means that TR and G1 TM Hot Rod cannot exchange weapons.

My RtS Rodimus is packed away cos he's for sale, so it was easier for me to grab my Classics Rodimus (same mould).

MP-9 Rodimus has an opening cockpit for both Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime vehicular modes.
Can confirm.

Although admittedly the canopy cannot close while Daniel is riding in it. Furthermore, TR Hot Rod's canopy opens from the reverse side that Hot Rod's does in TFTM. MP9's canopy is more accurate in this regard. TR Hot Rod is the first Hot Rod toy with a driver's compartment that can be occupied, albeit only by Firewire and not Daniel. Although in the G1 comics the Targetmaster Nebulans were known to ride inside their Autobot/Decepticon counterparts when in vehicle mode, as can be seen when Fracas piloted Scourge. If TR Hot Rod is meant to basically be the CHUGUR equivalent of Targetmaster Hot Rod, then it makes more sense for Firebolt/wire to ride him than Daniel anyway considering that:
* In the G1 cartoon Daniel was binary bonded with Arcee, not Hot Rod.
* In the G1 comics Daniel only existed in a few alternate future timelines in parallel universes※ where Hot Rod never became a Targetmaster (instead he became Rodimus Prime). In the main universe (Earth-91274), Hot Rod never became Rodimus Prime but instead became a Targetmaster. Thus he never knew Daniel and was only ever binary bonded to Firebolt. Furthermore, Spike and Fortress Maximus were killed on Earth-91274 during the events of Transformers: Generation 2.
