Considering the original MP

Considering the original MP Hot Rod was a hot mess, I think this will be a good thing.

Flame Painted Mess

He's not that bad.... just not that awesome either. His robot mode looks fine, and his sportscar mode is pretty slick but he was just so cumbersome to transform.
I got the Hasbro edition when it first came out because I didn't care for the Flamebago shell. and to this day I think I've only transformed him TWICE.

The proportions of the silhouette kind of worries me.

Well we can only hope this

Well we can only hope this one won't make you feel like you're defusing a bomb trying to transform it.
