Talk:Hot Rod (G1)/toys
What, if anything, does Classic Rod take from Energon Rod? Maybe it's just because I'm not that familiar with the original, but I've got them both here on my desk, and I just don't see it. Little help? --yo
- It's the yellow things on his forehead. Energon Rodimus was the first one to get it, so the Classics and Titaniums figure take that visual element from the Energon character. -Detour 07:23, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Also, the flames being straight on a red chest, as opposed to being on top of an orange background on a red chest.--75.176.150.50 21:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- ah-HA! Thank you both. Now I feel smarter! --yo

I am going to try to fill this place up as much as possible, I have sooooo much odds and ends of Hot Rod/Rodimus merch........ -ProtomanXRED--ItsWalky 03:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I just realized this page is missing the World's Smallest TF version of Hot Rod, but I have no pictures or the figure itself to write anything for it.--MCRG 17:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Revoltech Development
Accidentally put this on the Hot Rod character page before discovering the toy page had been separated...
I'm not sure how best to insert this info into the Toy/Merchandise section, so I'm putting it here for now, both in Hot Rod and Starscream's discussion pages.
Revoltech Yamaguchi versions of Hot Rod and Starscream are being developed for release on March 15. Since they're still in the production process, the final figures may differ from the photos shown here. No other details are currently available.--Apcog 08:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- What a revoltech development... --ItsWalky 15:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure whether to give you a point for getting the joke or deduct one for just repeating it.--Apcog 16:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Hot Rod Go-Kart
Why isn't this here, under merch? -hx 15:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
G1 Hot Rod's Mystery Knees
This bit is totally new to me - "Before final production, the Hot Rod toy's legs extended to reveal exposed knees. This was changed between the first shot and final production stage. The knees are still present, just blocked by an additional plastic tab that keeps the legs from fully extending."
So my question is, anyone got a good picture of the mystery knees? Are they spherical like the animation model's or what? I'm really curious, but I don't care to shred my Hot Rod's stickers to find out, but especially since someone apparently did already.--MCRG 16:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Henkei
Why, again, is Henkei Hot Rod "not the same toy" as Classics? We don't have separate entries for Armada Hot Shot/Micron Legend Hot Rod, and this is no different. --ItsWalky 03:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I tend to agree, but then I think about the upcoming Henkei Sunstreaker and Prowl. Henkei is Japanese Classics, but Universe isn't strictly Classics, just some of the toys in them are made thematically in the style of Classics. I need sleep. --FFN 04:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Personally, I had not thought of Classics/Henkei as being precisely Hasbro/Takara versions of the same thing analogous to Armada/Micron Legend. To my mind, there is a bit more separation there. --KilMichaelMcC 04:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
