Thanks to 2005 boards user Cheem The Rup, we know that FanToys on Facebook has revealed clear pictures of FT-17 Hoodlum prototype, his take on G1 Hot Rod. We can see him both in robot mode and alt mode, and posing together with other FanToys figures.
You can check the pics and join the discussion after the jump!

Rodimus should have been first. And much like their Hoist, he should come with a part for a TT MP. In this case, he should come with Only Human Rodimus and Arcee.
And if done correctly, I wouldn't be opposed to a combo Hot Rod/ Rodimus Prime again. By correctly, I mean correct looks and sizes for both modes.

if anyone was looking to sell their target master for this figure shoot me a message! I am highly interested!

Taken from
[Pre-Order] XTransbots MX-39 Origo Orion Pax
Which could be a retooled into a Rodimus design.

I sold off Hoodlum long ago in favor of the MP KO. Someone really need to do Both Hot Rod and Rodimus.

You can give them a shout via FB or IG… Here was the response when I asked. I believe they’re doing Arcee & Rodimus at the very least to match up with their “Only Human” line up. If I’m not mistaken, one of their quotes from their recent Ultra Magnus release calls out their version of would be Arcee by name when he asks them to “Transform autobot city…” a la TFTM 1986View attachment 30074918

Wait for the X-Transbots version at this point… This figure’s facesculpt needs an overhaul. The Rodimus face looks great for Chug scale, but the Hot Rod face leaves much to be desired… Here is the original prototype which looked a lot better in the face IMO.

Contact FT directly, I bet thats your best option for help.

Ouch… TBH I haven't seen that breakage ever with him. The paint chipping of the hood of the car was common. This I've never seen.

Hmm has Hoodlum ever been reissued? Best chance for a replacement part is if they do a reissue. Although it wouldn't hurt to ask now anyway.

There only one thing that can fix FansToys figures….

Hi all. Just picked up a Hoodlum last weekend and he cane out of the box with a broken piece. I'm told this is a common issue and chances are not good for getting a replacement part. Would I be good to just try and super glue it back together or is he staying in robot mode forever after the fix? Thanks for any help.

I disagree, I think the SS is the closest, and that's pretty shocking

Has anyone have a fix yet for the pin break on the wheel ?
