Huh... pics clearly show the Targetmaster mold with the port on the top of the engine block. That's awkward. I guess you could always try to scrounge up a loose Targetmaster on eBay to finish it up.

www.tfu.info/1987/Autobot/HotRod/hotrod.htmIt looks like the peg hole on the TM version was a bit wider in diameter than the first release. Also, IIRC, I think the peg holes were modded again somehow for the TRU "Rodimus Major" reissues but I'm not exactly sure on that one.

Adds to the "old TRU stock" claim though, because the TRU reissue was the original non-TM version, wasn't it?

Maybe the original tooling was altered for the TM version, and they had to alter it back to do a non-TM reissue? I'd expect Hasbro altered the tooling to do the TM versions, doing brand new from scratch is mucho expensive and defeats some of the purpose of using the same toy again.

Nobody sets foot in Wal-Mart anymore. You can just drive those little scooters around in there.

Ugh, am I gonna have to set foot in a Wal-Mart now? Well, there is that Walmart.com listing I posted a few spots back. If he pops up online, then you could just order him and still not set foot in Wal-Fart.
