I’m fairly certain he’s still pretty cheap online, given that Cybertron wasn’t very renowned and by extension didn’t have very highly-grossing figures.Whole lotta parenthesis up in those last couple of paragraphs, huh - but that’s illustrative of just how below-the-radar some of these characters receiving mainline toys have been in the last few years. I like him for his simplistic design and very simple transformation (seriously, if you can’t figure it out just by looking at him, you shouldn’t be messing with TFs). Overall, Hot Shot isn’t too bad of a deluxe figure, especially for his time. They could’ve come up with a million gimmicks for the Cyber Key but it had to be something this lame…Hot Shot goes x3 faster now? I suppose the tiny fins are slightly more relevant and practical in vehicle mode but still…why. It looks even cornier and toy-like than ever, but hey what can you do when you need firepower and high speeds at the same time? Hot Shot’s gun mounts right on top of his engine block(?) in the rear. Hot Shot would look great in a collection of fellow Deluxe Class cars.Īnd of course, as per usual Transformer fare, the weapons must also be compatible in vehicle mode. I have a thing for more conservative vehicle forms (planes and jets are a nightmare for me with those crazy wingspans). There’s nothing too outlandish about it, and it doesn’t show much robot kibble (unless you look through the windshield). Not gonna lie, I’m actually very fond of this vehicle form it’s just a very appealing design. Seriously, a Cyber Key to flip out tiny piss-colored fins? You’re not even trying anymore, Hasbro… Speed Planet Cyber Key plugs into his back to activate two transparent yellow fins that flip out and…serve no real purpose. You get all the basic articulation like bending knees and elbows without anything too flashy or fancy. I’m not gonna lie, the torso and head sculpt is actually pretty nice it has a very pleasing toy-like feel, and Hot Shot himself is generally a very solid toy. Standard firing missile as per most Transformers toys, nothing special other than the strange design… Hot Shot’s weapon of choice is sort of like a pancake gun – very flat and yellow. Though I guess he can hold his flat-gun thing. You can’t exactly see his fists given that the doors do actually extend beyond his arm, in which case I question how he reaches for and holds anything. The vehicle mode kibble is rather obvious around the body, but he has standard articulation, moreso than any of his previous bodies anyways. No longer a Bumblebee rehash sporting the usual yellow, Hot Shot has a fairly simplistic and conservative design.
Hot shot autobot upgrade#
Hot Shot certainly received a cosmetic upgrade from his Armada and Energon appearances. Still though, some of their designs aren’t too bad.
I stopped with Energon, since apparently Cybertron turned into a complete continuity clusterfeth.
Hot shot autobot series#
I’ve never actually watched the Cybertron series all the way through.
