Oh my word this isn't going to please the numbering fans. So this will be the second run of the Hot Rod toy from last year, but with a Targetmaster partner and a new number?!

10000 Yen is a 2000 increase (about £13.75) in what he cost last time out. Around £69 total. Under Sunstreaker (12000 yen) but still quite a markup for what may just be the Targetmaster from the US release of Rodimus?

Oh dear me that's frighteningly familiar.
But on Takara's part very naughty. ESPECIALLY the numbering.

I do hope that there's more to this than just a simple re-packaging of the previous MP Hot Rodimus, since i never bothered picking that one up due to some issues I had with the mold. But... they're just getting their money's worth out of the mold, so it'll be exactly that

Toy colours maybe? Slight reengineering to fix the problem with the collar piece not letting all four wheels roll together?
I really like MP Hot Rod, genuinely think the good things outweigh the flaws (I have not put him back in his packaging since getting him out last year, and really enjoy the transformation), and Targetmaster + fix the floor clearance thing are the two main things I'd want.

Did the first one have that problem? I have never dared take him out of the packaging...

Among others. I stopped playing with it pretty quickly as the robot is boring and vehicle is terrible.

I quite like those colours. I didn't buy the first release of this figure so I can see me getting this one.
I suppose this is one way for Takara to get a second use from the mould. I did wonder how for these figures that don't have Diaclone 'away' colours how they'd get a second use.

Luckily there'll be enough AKOM colouring error variants for a while line of reissues!
