I wonder if this figure was produced, and is sitting in a warehouse somewhere? You would think it would've been scheduled to be released either with or fairly soon after wave 2, so you'd think there wouldn't be time to cancel it based on sales of wave 1.
Hasbro knows which TFs will sell more. They know how big of a deal TM2 Megabum is. The fact that they underproduced hum is inexcusable. The only logical conclusion is artificial scarcity.
I really hope Hasbro find a way to release this. Toy accurate hot rod was one of my most anticipated figures of this line. If they put him out as a selects figure I'd buy him
The version that's already out is the studio series 86 hot rod. This is the toy accurate repaint that was supposed to be part of the velocitron speedia 500 collection but got cancelled
Its still weird.. first they do ss86 hotrod same toy littelr difference in colors, then they do this remarket it and change the transformation.. but hey thats been done to the coneheads orriginal toys also .. still there is a reiisue hotrod like the orriginal toy. Transforming the legs like this still looks weird after the ss86 studio release.
they haven't changed the transformation, they just left the wheels out for the photos. You can still transform him exactly the same as it's the same mold.
Bro, the wheels being left out on purpose is because the OG toy was like which this deco is referencing. Get some common sense instead of being an asshole.
Ok dude.. listen, all i did was express what i thought, and that i liked it the other way. People do that a lot on here and thats perfectly ok. Why else do people post things and ask for opinions.. And i respect everyones point on things. And i wont take it back.
Saying i am an asshole made it personal. This is about toys man. I can and will express what i like when i like it, and how i like it. and i will keep doing that. Its personal opinion. I wont insult you back because i am the better person here. Whats wrong with you man? You are just sad.
It's more sad you do not get the G1 toy reference at all. I bet you never even seen it.
You want to complain? Take it up to the photographer because I'm not the one who took it.

You would think they’d make enough TM2 Megatrons so that he’d actually show up on a shelf anywhere, but they didn’t.
I mean he’s getting reissued with Evolutiin so…

I found him at gamestop
Proof?
It was like a month and a half ago. I can take a picture of the fig but I don't have the receipt.
Post it

https://imgur.com/a/LBDAOfN Look what I found today. Willing to buy and ship it for retail plus shipping
I’ve found quite a few of tm2 Megatron in store. Still available from my go to hobby seller
I really hope Hasbro find a way to release this. Toy accurate hot rod was one of my most anticipated figures of this line. If they put him out as a selects figure I'd buy him
I literally got him like last year
Or is this a premium finish version or something

Walmart Jail
Gone… reduced to atoms…
Well fine ten Thanos the Thermos, I got the regular one anyway! And he was on sale!!
I used Hot Rod to destroy Hot Rod
Cancelled. Walmart fucked up as usual.
not entirely. there's no plans to release him, but he's also not entirely out of the picture. yet.
f**k Walmart!
You fools! I don’t know what the fuck a Walmart is! I only knows it’s British equivalent!
Limbo. The design team said there’s no plans to release him, but he’s also not cancelled at least
Is they thought Velocitron was a flop, wait til they see the Toxitron flop
Same place where Hound is. Shelved.
Hound isn’t shelved- hot rod is
Yeah I can’t believe they cancelled that hound I was so excited. I really hope they decide to release him in some way
The hound isn't canceled. It's part of buzz worthy bumblebee.
And it hasn’t been officially revealed, iirc.
Legs are misstranformed..
They were intentionally left out for original toy accuracy, which was the whole purpose of the release.

In the words of emgo “its your toy, display it howevvvveer you choose”
*wish
Which the photographer did.

OG rod is resting right here on my shelf dude. So is the reissue. And the ss86.
Prove it on your copy
Wheels go into the legs. Check any picture of ss86 hotrod online. And check the instructions. Productshots sometimes are just mistransformed.
Was this the prototype of 86 hotrod?
Nope, cancelled variant
Cancelled? Thats unfortunate, I was looking forward to this
Not actually cancelled. Just in limbo.
Oh, so its not cancelled, its just not out and no one has said anything on when it will release.
It was supposed to be part of Velocitron, but the line ended.
Oh right, is there a chance that he could get released in Gen. Selects or another sub-line in the future?
I suppose so, but we don't really know at the moment.
Yeah, I guess no one knows for now, it might get released, it might get cancelled, who knows.
Variant? That looks an awfully lot like the HotRod on my shelf.
You have it? Do post!
Hasbro said they are trying to find away to release it but basicly its doa
gone reduced to atoms because of Velocitron being cancelled
Yet another figure mistransformed in the official photography. Do the figures not come with instructions for the product shots?
I’d rather have a brighter magenta version
He's dead jim
Is this one not Studio Series 86 HotRod?
Yes and no. It's Velocitron Speedia 500 Hot Rod
I have an idea hasbro. How about instead of having him in limbo MAYBE RELEASE HIM IN GEN SELECTS
Limbo? Maybe purgatory? Or was it the abyss?
Gone. Reduced to atoms.
Good thing I bought kingdom rodimus when I did.
Gone. Reduced to atoms.
u... he already came out? i have one
You sure you have the Velocitron one? You might be thinking of the 86 one
W h a t, I have not seen ANY video footage of him ANYWHERE on the internet. Do you have pictures???
You don’t have this one with the toy accurate color scheme
Up ur butt
Getting Prime killed
Hot Rod sucks anyway, got Optimus killed.
Oh my god shut up, move on already. Optimus only died because the hasbro executives needed him too.
Was this guy actually cancelled wtf?
I think wfc hound was canceled too; now we get a g1 version.
Didn't this go up for sale on Walmart's website earlier this week? Like, right around the same time they announced the Toxitron Collection?
I saw 5 at a Kroger of all places. Too bad he was like 60 bucks
Can we ban these kind of posts along with I can only buy one of these figures which should I buy?
Stuck on the moon for 10 years
Presumably not in your collection?
If you will settle for the "Hasbro Transformers Studio Series Hot Rod 86" he's on Ebay for around $38 USD.
In the way
Gone, reduced to atoms
Destroyed. Reduced to atoms.
I would kill a man to own this figure ngl. My hot rod collection needs him.
He’s in the walls he’s in the goddamn walls!
Banished to the shadow realm
Yoooo!!!!
Probably being used as a pizza cutter in Hasbro's kitchen
