Title:
Hot Shot With Jolt Powerlinx
Description:
Powerlinx Hot Shot (Super-Con Class, 2003)
Takara ID number: MC-13
Takara release date: September ??, 2003
Accessories: Missile, engine-block/rifle
A red, yellow, and black redeco and retool of the first Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot has a new head that has a more "serious” look, and his visor, sculpted directly into the new head, is no longer articulated. Intended to be an homage to "Generation 1” Hot Rod, he has a yellow spoiler and flames on his hood. Due to a factory error, his forehead is painted gray instead of left red. Later in the line, a running change granted Powerlinx Hot Shot with a cleaner faction symbol. Even later in the run, the forehead paint application was removed, but that particular version is extremely rare.
The Japanese version, "Hot Rod Super Mode”, fixed this forehead mistake, replaced the gold flames with yellow, painted the shoulder symbol more clearly, and retained the LED light-up arm the first Japanese version featured.
This mold was scheduled to be redecoed for Universe "Battle in a Box” Smokescreen, but that set was ultimately canceled.
