The car mode looks like it got a visit from MTV's 'Pimp my ride' crew, but does it also contain an X-box, PS2 and GameCube?

No, because that would be unreasonable. Even if they picked the worst car company in the world, you're still buying a transformer, not a car. If I buy it I'll buy it because it's Skids, not because it's a Scion.
An average car costs 5.000-10.000 euros, the rest of the line [rx-8, imprezza, dodge viper SRT etc] cost well over 28.000 euros. You think one customer that skips a 25 euros product will damage their sales?
Few stuff in the UK to trade/sell. Measly sales thread.

Okay, first of all: he is not Hot Skids. The ' ' before and after that name indicate that.
He is just called Hot by the poster because a) of the flames, b) of the similiar design to HOT Rod, again in the flames.
Once again; this is SKIDS. The final product may be called Autobot Skids, but under no circumstances Hot Skids.
Now, the fat design differs in each person's perspective. To me he looks bulky and angular [with the doors as wings]. Out of proportion? Nope. If you want to see disproportional transformers, look at Beast Wars and Beast Machines. The 'disproportional' figures of the first turned out to be the best.

The line really needs more Decepticons. A mustang con will be nice, as well as remoulds of Prowl\Skids [no more autobots].
But with all the new moulds they announced and even the bigger moulds [higher price points] the chances of Motormaster are increasing

Nev, the mustang mould is not overused [least number of releases next to s2000] and makes a pretty solid bot. The only car I'd chose if they had to bring Motormaster back.
Scourge, I'd understand if you think that the mould sucks, but if it's because the blue repaint being already out, then no. I think that each mould deserves a Decepticon. And I still want a complete set of Stunticons that aren't bricks

I just think the robot mode is the worst of the Alternators to date. He's wide and flat. Now that I think of it, he looks like a walking pancake. They've proven they can make really interesting flat-fronted BTs, such as Windcharger/Decepticharge and Sideswipe/Dead End, so why make this guy so bland. I really think that it's not visually busy enough. They need to do something more with that chest. Just doesn't look right.
Yeah, I hope they do the rest of the stunticons, too. They're the most natural fits for Alt/BTs. However, I think they'd have a much better sense of fashion than to pick that type of body. Although, now that I think of it, a racing stripe with a big number might be just what the doctor ordered . . .
Ah, yesss [/Megs]. A vast improvement, indeed. Now, imagine what it would look like with a more professional paint job, as opposed to something done on paint in 5 minutes . . .
EDIT: So little, yet it adds so much . . .
