I doubt it. Probably just a reissue.

Yep. If you stared at it the wrong way the entire figure would blush, shudder and turn into dust. Or explode into plastic shrapnel. Or fall apart in the box. All in all, definitely room for improvement. Probably just a tweaked Takara reissue minus the trailer though. I don't think he was available without it except through Hasbro's.

They already had a version 2.0 MP-9 Rodimus Convoy with some QC issues fixed. Those boxes had a distinct stamp on them. So this might just be a version 3.0

TFW has some more in depth translations, it's not a new mold at all, but a new and in scale alt mode with the current Masterpiece cars (ie Prowl). I'm personally not excited about a shorter Hot Rod, but if he comes out around Ironhide height, look for me selling MP9 on the forums .

Well that makes it more interesting

Likely a new mold, they wouln't have the balls to re-release the original.
