MP-28 Hotrod

HOTROD

The famous character who brought two mighty characters, Megatron and Optimus, to their death.

MP-28 marks as the second Hot Rod design within the masterpiece series.

Impression

The color is just stunning, I had always loved Hotrod for his striking bold color. He have quite a good articulation, with both knees and elbows, that comes with a double hinged joint. The torso can turn as well. There are no diecast parts on him.

A glimpse of his articulation
Compared to the original MP-09, this transformation is slick and definitely better. No loose parts and don't seem that anything will break with the transformation.

The original G1 toy can do this too
This is something extra, compared to the original.


Transformation

Again, compared to Original MP-09, the transformation of this is much more simpler, and satisfying. You can easily get it transformed with the instruction.

The transformation part to fold hood of the car into the chest of HotRod, some force is needed to fold it. Picture below show's how it'll look like:.
With some force, the chest flips easily.


Features

Packaging
The figures comes with a visor, hidden beneath the helmet.

There is also a space for the matrix to be placed into. The matrix is not provided and has to be pulled out from MP-10(Optimus Prime) figure. Of course, the place to store the Matrix of leadership look far off to the stomach rather than the chest.

Guns -  It comes with 2 rifle, which can be attached on the vehicle.

Rotary blades - The hand can be folded to place in the rotary blade.

Fishing rod - Yes, the first activity hotrod is doing when the movie starts.
Not much fan on this fishing rod.
Trusters - It can be flipped up in vehicle mode to looks as if it's speeding. This trusters are left opened once transformed into robot.




All-in-all

This hotrod has many improvement over the older Masterpiece - Hotrod. It's not really a perfect toy due to the rear baggage the robot carries, but he sure is worth a purchase.

The big bagpack.

Detailed looked at the feet.
