Following our first look at the new Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Energon Armor Vocanicus, we have our first stock images of the next Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Energon Armor Hot Rod.
This is the second release in the new Cyberverse Dinobots Unite Ultimate Class featuring the Energon Armor gimmick and a quick 9-step transformation. A simple but fun figure for Cyberverse fans.
You can see all the images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Board!

Saw 2 each of him and Volcanicus at Target tonight, so I’d agree with Beastbot X and say that’s a safe bet.

My order of him and Volcanicus came in stock at the same time at Amazon, and on the box of one you see the "Also Available…" of the other. So I would say signs point to yes.

$30 isn't enough to pay for painted details or metal pins, eh?
This is an atrocity. Do better.

So are he and Volcanicus in the same wave or not? Do we have any case listings yet?

Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Energon Armor Hot Rod sighted at US retail. It was found at Target in Connecticut.

I actually don't mind the Energon gimmick itself– I think it works pretty well on the Ultras, if it's just flip-out armor. It's the combining of that with the "auto-twist" conversion that I think has led to a major downgrade of the Ultimates since it was implemented.

I am so sick and tired of these Energon Armor gimmicks in this line.

Oh I do like this. If I had the skills to do this, it would be my hobby. I can only imagine what kind of colors I would repaint toys into.

We shouldn't have to add the basic paint scheme. Not for $50. Some Authentics are already doing this better for $10.
I may not be the target demographic, but this is not worth $50 for any kid I know.

I imagine a skilled customiser can paint Hot Rod to look like an amazing toy. But thats not what we are getting at retail.

What do you mean?
What I'm imaging is, this must be what Hasbro's higher-ups thinking when they were discussing the raison d'être of this toy line. Resulting toys that are not worth playing for more than 15s for the target audience young kids) and not worth much collecting for adults.

Normally I don't pick this kind of figure up. But, Hot Rod is my favorite 'Bot and this version immediately reminded me of another favorite A.B.C. Warriors! Now I might just pick him up.

Lol, you care about having good transformers? What an entitled piss baby!

I was really hoping this figure would’ve brought ultimate class back to it’s pre-shockwave days, but nope. Just another rectangle with fused legs and fucking energon armor again. This is what happens when I get my hopes up.

Maybe it is not a staff, but a ROD?!

To be fair, paint will chip. Especially when this is for small kids.
