Product Description
This Generation 1 reissue was built with rubber tires and both metal and plastic parts just like the original! Sticker sheet is included along with an over-sized pistol.
Although this is a toy and Hasbro suggests an age of 5 and up, it is designed more for the serious G1 collector and comes mounted inside a box mimicking the original which is covered with detailed artwork.
This item was produced in 2002 but the box is still in mint condition and factory sealed.

Transformers Generation 1 Hot Rod
By HavokH85
Hot Rod is my favorite Transformers Character of all time. When I was little I begged and begged my parents for Hot Rod for Christmas,my birthday and every other holiday and I never did get him. Finally upon High school graduation I got two gifts. One of which was a Gibson Les Paul modeled after Sully Erna's from Godsmack and...Hot Rod. Bet you can't guess which was my favorite.I was super excited to get Hot Rod finally after waiting 15 fricken years.My grandma always told me "dont worry you'll find him one day" (I would make here sit down and watch Transformers with me...then later on actually got her into Gundam) I never did believe her. So....this is a review 15+ years in the making.Hot Rod transforms into a modified Lamborghini Countach, Red with flames on the hood and sides...and lets not forget the big yellow spoiler and chrome exaust pipes. Before I actually get into this review I'm pretending any Transformers product that came out after G1 Does not exist so I can give a better review. Vehicle mode is really nice. Rolls super well and like a lot of G1 figures holds into place very well.Hot Rod sports rubber wheels. I prefer that over plastic any day. I think it adds a more realistic touch. There is also a peg hole in the exposed engine block where you can peg in one of two weapons that Hot Rod comes with. I think it looks better with no weapons but that's just me. Vehicle mode is a little over scaled compared to Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus but Hot Rod can easily fit on Ultra Magnus's Trailer. Hot Rod is also as screen accurate as you're going to get. Some of the G1 Transformers transform ridiculously complex in the show and movie so Hasbro had to compensate in both Vehicle mode and Robot mode.Transformation is a breeze.Simply pull the legs back and flip out the toes.Flip the arms on each side so the exhaust pipes are parallel to the car.Flip out the hood, Rotate the engine block to reveal Hot Rods head and snap in place. Next Rotate his "belt buckle" around and bring the hood down to peg into the top of the belt buckle. Rotate the spoiler/cab section around so that the Spoiler is behind Hot Rods Shoulders.Next just pose the arms and you're done. Pretty simple.Robot mode...to this day still looks awesome!.There isn't that much poseability except in this elbows and wrists and mid bicept.Head sculpt looks great. Not like Optimus Prime's where it vaguely resembles the actually head of the bot in the show. Hot Rods is pretty much dead on.Both of Hot Rods weapons can be held. Makes him look pretty bada$$ too.Overall this is a GREAT figure. I am not being bias when I say that. This really is a must have for your collection. It's a Classic, A great looking car and robot...well...It's Hot Rod. nuff said.

By Eric Witte
Do you remember having those awesome Transformers when you were a kid and not taking very good care of them? Shame on you! I did the same thing.....BUT! Now is your chance at redemption! This Rodimus Major (known to us old folk as Hot Rod) is a perfect re-issue of the original figure. So for those of you who are twenty-something like I am, you can appreciate the nostelgia of this toy. In fact, buy two (or three or four)! Have one to play with and one to keep in an air-tight box to show the great-grandkids one day when they wanna see REAL toys! Also, be sure to look for Powermaster Optimus Prime and Starscream for Christmas! Makes a great gift for the not-so-little ones on your list! This particular Transformer is easy to transform and the stickers will not rub off with transformations. Just don't put on the stickers for the orange part of the legs, as they WILL rub off, and quickly if you keep changing it back and forth. A great product. I would tell you about how to get other re-issue TFs also, but I think the review disclaimer prohibits me from doing so.
