Once again, a hybrid of the two would look better than either one alone.

I think Excellion looks a heck of a lot more like G1 Hot Rod than Exillion Red Version does.

ERV has red wheels, no flame deco on hood, red windows, and a head who's color doesn't resemble Hot Rod's one bit.

No, Excellion looks more like G1 Hot Rod because here's a comparison chart, with Hot Rod on left, Excellion on right:

Car/Body part|Â Hot RodÂ |Â Â ExcellionÂ |Â Exillion Red Version

WindowsÂ Â Â Â |Â Â BlueÂ Â Â |Â Â Â BlueÂ Â Â |Â Â Â Â Â Â Â RedÂ Â Â Â Â Â

WheelsÂ Â Â Â Â |Â Â BlackÂ Â |Â Â Â BlackÂ Â Â |Â Â Â Â Â Â Â RedÂ Â Â Â Â Â

HoodÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â |Â Â FlamesÂ Â |Â Â FlamesÂ Â |Â Â Â Â Â No FlamesÂ Â Â

SpoilersÂ Â Â Â Â |Â Â YellowÂ Â |Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BlueÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

HeadÂ Â Â Â Â |Red and Yellow|Black and Yellow|Â Â BlackÂ Â Â Â Â Â

ArmsÂ Â Â Â | Red and Orange |Â Â Orange and BlackÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

LegsÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â |Â Â Â Â Orange and Red with YellowÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

Now, as far as the spoilers are concerned, I have a solution for that. I'm going to take the wings from my junker Hot Shot and maybe take the head from my E. Rodimus and turn him into Hot Rod...then again, I'd then be short an e. Rodimus.

I don't know how the process works, but I'm guessing that it's not a coincidence that the torso pieces are the same color as the tires on every version of this figure. I'm guessing that once the molds and everything were set up, they had to pick one color for all of those parts. Takara probably decided that a red torso was more important than black tires, and vice-versa with Hasbro.
