Once upon a time, the Last Bot Standing was a turbo-revvin’ young pink punk, and the Walmart exclusive Retro reissue series gives us another take on him as he appeared in the 1986 animated film “The Transformers: The Movie”. And, for the first time ever, this item posted for preorder on Hasbro Pulse finally gets released in a movie-accurate, catalog-based magenta color scheme!

Alongside Hot Rod is another Movie stalwart, and another returning figure from Vintage to Retro series: Starscream, who comes with a gun-mode Megatron to betray wield!

Both releases are listed for $33.99 and set to release in January 2023, and come in all-new The Transformers: The Movie-themed closed packaging, unlike the more G1-style window boxes of earlier Retro series waves.

In a huge surprise that somehow didn’t make it to Pulse Con 2022,  HasbroPulse.com has listed a preorder for the January 2023 release of “The Transformers: The Movie” Hot Rod, in all his magenta glory.

 





Also listed is a “The Transformers: The Movie” Starscream, another 2018 reissue from the Vintage series. Once again, the Decepticon Air Commander includes a gun-mode Megatron!
