If it's actually hot rod, I'd be looking forward to seeing that. I wonder if it would come with a daniel figure..... Or even if he is in his transforming suit too.....
Galvatron better be next after.

The subject of accessories is an interesting one... The Matrix seems obvious but I wonder if they'll do it, since Prime already had one. Fishing Rod... Firebolt Target Master - i guess this is unlikely for Japan though. Optimus Prime statue so he knows what he's got to live up to?

A Masterpiece Hot Rod needs to have a hand that can retract to reveal a spinning cutting blade. If the Deluxe Classics toy can attempt it, a Masterpiece toy sure can.Originally Posted by kurdt_the_goat

It'd be cool if MP Firebolt's helmet was removable revealing his Nebulan head underneath (as seen in the Cybertron Chronicles manga). It'd also be neat if his body could change a bit to transform him to Rodimus Convoy in robot mode (e.g. limb and torso extensions to make him taller, and a flip-around face like with the MP Seekers).I guess it'd be a bit much to expect the toy to come with a trailer that could fit over Hot Rodimus' car mode to make it Rodimus Convoy (not to mention making the toy more expensive)

I really hope it's not much larger than the Alternators version - things that Transform into cars that are much larger than that always feel too oversized.

I agree, the car would have to be enormous to reach MP Prime's robot height.
I'm hoping they have him in a movie-magenta colour instead of red we're used to seeing him in.
Makes you wonder which transformation scheme they'll go for too!

The extending into Prime would be done. He would just be Rodimus for his initial release, and then released with the trailer at a later date to extract more money from the mouldIt'd also be neat if his body could change a bit to transform him to Rodimus Convoy in robot mode (e.g. limb and torso extensions to make him taller, and a flip-around face like with the MP Seekers).

I hate the fact that this is a possibility and is the only reason I don't have MP Ultra Magnus yet. To think that I could buy Hot Rod and have them come out with a Hot Rod/trailer package afterward annoys me. Now I'm not sure whether or not i should buy Hot Rod upon release and risk them coming out with a package after and having to pay for yet another of the same mould (just as they did with OP) or wait to see if they do come out with a trailer package, only to find that they actually won't and run the risk of having to pay for inflated prices of Hot Rod just coz I didn't get him earlier.
*sigh*

I doubt it. It was simply a joke.
They have done it once simply because there was a high demand for it.
To build in extending arms and legs to turn him into Rodimus Prime would be a bad move because it looks like they are going to do a MP04 on it. People would pass it up because of that
It also sounds like a engineering nightmare that would drive the price up to high.
It really isn't something you should worry you enough to put off this toy. The same goes for Ultra Magnus. There isn't going to be a trailer for him
