MASTERPIECE MPG: MPG-20 HOT ROD STYLE GENERATION
Background, key features and collector notes for this figure
Hot Rod is a young, impulsive, and energetic Autobot with a catchphrase of "This is my spot!".

He plays a pivotal role in The Transformers: The Movie, where his journey of self-discovery sees him mature into the next Autobot leader, Rodimus Prime.
This figure is part of Takara Tomy's Masterpiece MPG line and is slated for a December 2026 release. It comes with Japanese-language instructions and a character collector card, typical of the Masterpiece series. This is a standard retail release with no known pre-order bonuses or retailer-exclusive versions.

Ratings and thoughts from collectors who own Hot Rod
As a new Masterpiece mold of a major G1 character, MPG-20 Hot Rod is a significant release for collectors of the line. While previous Masterpiece versions of the character exist (MP-28 and MP-40), this figure aims to be a more modern and definitive take. Its long-term value will depend on its reception and how it improves upon its predecessors. Being a standard retail release, it should be widely available at launch.
