Potential First Look at Transformers Kingdom Core Class Hot Rod

[Super_Megatron]

Via a listing on eBay from user rubyemeralite, we have what may be our first look at the upcoming Transformers Kingdom Core Class Hot Rod figure! The image provided shows off Hot Rod in both his robot and vehicle modes, as well as revealing that he does indeed come with a sword accessory as seen on the Legacy toyline artwork. According to the text he will take 8 steps to transform. We recommend taking this with a grain of salt until we receive official confirmation, but until then you can sound off with your first impressions on the boards!

I don't like the all-red legs, but otherwise it seems decent. I'm surprised that they went with a fake chest for a figure so small.

Looks way better than the cyberverse line warrior class and deluxe hotrods, ill be buying a few of these guys haha.

Soundwave is still the king of core class imo.

Cool, but why a sword?

Even if it's not perfect, we already have the perfect! (SS86 HR + Kingdom RP)

He looks OK enough tho, and I've got all the new cores so far, plus HotRod a fave for me, getting this for sure

This looks like a very nice little stick in your pocket to fidget with Transformer.

Better than a gun, at least. He used a sword against the training bot (albeit one with a different design) but he always used his arm-pipes instead of a gun, so it doesn't make much sense that so many Hot Rod toys come with one.


Of course, the accessory he should be coming with is a fishing rod.

It's based on the IDW Regeneration 1 comic book series which takes place after the Marvel G1 run. He uses a sword in one or two issues if I recall correctly.
