It's strange to think that back when the Studio Series first started tackling characters from Transformers: The Movie the film was celebrating its 35th anniversary, and now here we are five years later celebrating its 40th. In that time the line has gone from strength to strength, but some of those first releases still remain its best. And since you can't really celebrate its anniversary without its lead character, this was the perfect time for Hasbro to roll out Studio Series MTMTE Collection Hot Rod. Released as a Target exclusive in North America as per the rest of the MTMTE Collection capsule, this new version of the turbo-revving young punk features a new movie-accurate colour scheme as well as brand new accessories to separate him from the previous release.
