 I see no other real improvements. 

What are you talking about?  He's more magenta now!

In all seriousness, I'm honestly with you on all that.  It's why I've resolved not to just buy one online.  If I happen to see it in a store, then I can say I bought it on a whim, but buying online feels too intentional.

I never took issue with the original Hot Rod's coloring, but then, I'm not stuck on the toon-centric thinking that many fans embrace. The OG toy is good enough for me.

If anyone needs a copy of SS86 Hound, I have one unopened. PM me.

I was finally able to track down a MTMTE Perceptor for a good price and it arrived today.  I'm glad I held off for this version.  True to form, though, for Hasbro, I had to clean up some gray paint on his head and left eye... looked like Perceptor just woke up with eye booger.  I also wish his legs were a tad bit longer.

G1 Perceptor was one of only four TF toys I had as a kid and nearly 40 years later, I have a Perceptor toy again.  Thinking back, I believe my folks got me that G1 Perceptor thinking I would play with it more as a microscope...

I have the first release Hot Rod and the 5 Pack sealed somewhere in my storage so I'm glad Hot Rod and Hound were released again.

I'm happy with the recolor Hot Rod.

Finally got to open this Beast.  I had out my original one too. I still prefer the original.

Saw Big Convoy at my local Wally awhile back but I left it. I like BW and all, and while a Prime that turns into a mammoth should appeal, having had seen a review, it just wasn't grabbing me. Hope it brings more joy and fulfillment to you than it would've to me.

I do not collect Transformers much anymore. I always liked the character of Big convoy.  He is so small compared to the original.

The size of the new version doesn't bother me too much; I have zero available display space as it is.  I'm just a little put off by the sculpt of the new version's alt mode - specifically the trunk.  Maybe I'll warm up to it if I see it on the shelf somewhere.
