Threezero Adds Hot Rod And Coronation Starscream To MDLX Lineup
Threezero is extending its MDLX line past the first wave of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron by reusing existing molds in film-specific colorways, which keeps the anniversary push running without new tooling.

Threezero opened preorders for two MDLX figures tied to the 40th anniversary of "The Transformers: The Movie": Hot Rod and Coronation Starscream. Both are non-transforming color variants of figures already released overseas, with design arrangement by threezero art director Kelvin Sau. Hot Rod is about 18cm with roughly 46 points of articulation and costs 14,350 yen at the threezero store; Starscream is about 20cm with roughly 50 points. Shipping is scheduled for Q4 2026.
Preorders for the second MDLX wave opened at the threezero store on Friday, September 25, 2026, at 10:00. Both figures are non-transforming and use a frame of die-cast zinc alloy and engineering plastic, with design arrangement by threezero art director Kelvin Sau.
Hot Rod's accessories include a laser blaster, a blaster rifle, and eight interchangeable hand parts; the two weapons combine into the Photon Eliminator. Starscream's gray coloring matches the character just before Galvatron's particle cannon, and his set includes a detachable crown, cloth cape, shoulder armor, a backpack with wings, laser cannons, blades, and the gun Megatron transformed into. Each is 14,350 yen at the threezero store, with shipping scheduled for Q4 2026.
