I’ve always wanted a larger than masterpiece Hot Rod and was pretty stoked when this became available. The figure itself is beautiful. I prefer “Hot Rod” mode over Rodimus however, that’s subjective. Every angle of this figure has smooth with plenty of die-cast and quality plastics. Articulation is good though some might not like the “loose” feel to some of the joints, I assure you they’re all intact. There were a couple of minor paint chips I noticed on the hip skirts but not enough to be upset about. Overall this figure is beyond a masterpiece and a must have for any collector!
