He is well engineered and way better than any deluxe, so I understand why this is a voyager. I consider SS86 Hot Rod as the top three figure out of the trilogy/G1 inspired line we have gotten so far. I still have yet open up Scourge, waiting for Galvatron then I will open them together.

Jesus Christ, I wish people would get over themselves with the whole "hate" thing because someone dares say that a toy isn't perfect.
I repeatedly stated that both figures do look great, and that the main issues were: with Hot Rod is the articulation of the arms that limits his movement quite a bit, and Scourge with his feet would benefit greatly from having a rocker articulation due to being back heavy.
With Hot Rod, you cannot do any angled stances with the arms because of it, and due to multiple small parts, it is likely what will break. His arms are stuck riding the side of his torso and that doesn't look right.
That is ZERO hate, just some facts about the design and it's limitation.
As I stated... some people have to white knight toys for some reason and refuse to accept that they could have been done a bit better.
I clearly stated that I do like both figures quite a bit but that they weren't without some things that SHOULD have been done better and that I posted my OBSERVATIONS about the toys so that anyone that does get them and doesn't have that stick up their rear about Hasbro does no wrong thing, can know that these things are a FACT and not be surprised or disappointed that nobody had the balls to state these faults when they get them.
So again.. not "hate", just stated the things that I, and others have stated on other forums, have OBSERVED as being the "cons" of the toy(s).
oy... does that clear things up (again)?
