    First off: Your animation has gotten even better, amazing work.
    Second: The skits are hilarious, I actually laughed out loud to each of them.
    Third: These reviews are great. I got recommended your Blue streak and Smoke screen review around seven months ago and since then I've been an active viewer. I also credit that review to my new found love of transformers and have started a little collection of my own, with some custom work to boot. Easily one of my favourite channels on TH-cam right now.

    Brilliant opening. Loved the Prime retirement. I agree about having more time with Hot Rod. I wish I could have seen more Hot Rod and Prime. It would have been interesting to see how he related to Prime as opposed to Bumblebee or Jazz. I have less good feelings about the leader Rodimus. He always seemed woefully unprepared. Good thing his nemesis was a scrambled mess. Hot Rod is the only boy I own two of the exact same figure. Now I can leave one in alt mode and display with robot. Of course I paid a bunch for it but it makes me happy. Top five figure from my only Hasbro collection.

    Ooh, I like the "what scale is it?" segment and also hope it continues into future reviews! I don't necessarily care for vehicle modes to be 1:1 exactly proportioned (though the more expensive the figures, the more accurate I'd like them to be, _Movie Masterpiece)._ It's just something I find really, really interesting and cool.
    Also, this video was extra funny and brilliantly animated, as always.

    I hope you had as more fun making these videos as I have watching them. I'd feel real bad you slaving away while I'm chuckling away. I was going to buy the rest of Studio Series 86 anyway after Wreck-Gar and Blurr. just have to wait for the next assortment to come in on next month's stage. But Hot Rod as BMOC at Iacon Hills High seems like the new teen drama you didn't know you needed in your life. Hot Rod and Novastar can be twin brother/sister who moved from wholesome midwest to the decadent Neon coast.

    Sir. SIR. How dare you give us such a hilarious and in-depth review on a TUESDAY.
    You had Lifeline CRAWL into place and almost had me die laughing, you blasted the douchebag in the comments into actual space dust, and then the Siege Garbage Scow line made me snort-laugh so hard I almost hurt myself.
    I love that you always point out the flaws in a constructive way, explaining potential “why’s” for the reasons behind them, instead of just spewing vitriol, and then spends just as much, if not MORE, time talking about the points you love.
    I bought this figure, and have loved it ever since. While the flaws you pointed out are definitely present, I’m willing to overlook them based on how much love and attention was poured into this figure. Holy wow, all those accessories too! I can’t wait to see your Rodimus Prime review too.
    To summarize: hilarious jokes/commentary/review, amazingly fluid animation, and a great send-off/hook that has me excited for your next upload. Both thumbs up!

    Yet another stellar review! I almost fell off my couch laughing seeing Lifeline crawling into place. Man that was so good. I always enjoy seeing your perspective and SS Hotrod was no exception. Did you at all get the impression that the car mode was...I don't know...chibi-fied in proportion? Like he seems to have been squished just a tad length wise? I got that impression when comparing him with Masterpiece Hotrod which I know you don't have so you might not have seen this. In any case I hope SS 86 continues and you keep reviewing them. They truly earn the name mini masterpiece and we're close to getting a near-perfect set of dinobots. Thank you for your FANTASTIC content! 👍🏼

    I forgot to comment on first viewing that the "Whats the scale?" segment is totally appreciated as, personally, I like to try and get my figures in reasonable vehicle scale where possible. I bought Mech fans toy's 'Detective' as my collections Hound, to fit in with my mostly WFC figures. He's defiantly not in scale with the other vehicle modes (most of them are off as is, anyways lol) but it's close enough that I can be happy with it. That does mean he's way small in Robot mode but I'm fine with that. I come up with my own head cannon for how these bots are for my own collection and Hound being just a little taller than Cliff Jumper is good by me.

    Hot Rod has always been one of my favorites ever since I saw the 86 movie on a vhs as a kid, I was so happy when I picked up this hot rod and got a voyager price point masterpiece figure. Well worth the price for me, and after picking up Cup and Arcee I am glad I can remake the 86 team to display on my shelf.

      "voyager price point masterpiece figure" should be on the box. I understand that change is hard and inflation sucks, but to me, a figure this good is worth twice the price.

    Kingdom Cyclonus has opening fingers too, part of why I believe that figure was meant for Studio Series 86 and Hasbro flubbed the packaging/production.

    I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but honestly, SS86 Hot Rod > Kingdom Rodimus
    Both had a ton of love and care crafted into them, and both use the dxtra budget to do some phenomenal stuff, but even then, I think Hot Rod is a better package all around. The transformation, at least in my experience was more enjoyable, the articulation on both is fantastic, and the overall sculpting on both is incredible. Plus the wide range of accesories.
    However, Hot Rod is just more bang for your buck, $30 usd gets you essentially the near perfect Hot Rod with a stunning robot mode and a great vehicle, with movie accesories and an overall really fun toy, whereas Rodimus is $80 usd, you get a leader figure, sword, gun, matrix, and a really cool, if not sometimes annoying trailer. If anything, I feel Hot Rod is more worth it, as both Rodimus and Hot Rod provided a similar experience, at least in terms of transformation and articulation.
    Just me? Idk, I've always found SS86 Hot Rod a much more enjoyable experience

    I love the SS86 Hot rod, but the yellow joints is annoy … like you said.
    I wish they use the grey on the joints … swap out the gray pieces on the internal frame.
    After painting it gunmetal on the lower 1/2 of the knee joint … it looks way better, kind of looked like pipes instead 2 yellow piece. (With some imagination, of course)😆
