Title:
Hot Shot Legacy Evolution Armada
Description:
• LEGACY37
• Armada Universe Hot Shot (Deluxe Class, 2023)
• TakaraTomy ID number: TL-22
• TakaraTomy release date: March 25 2023
• Accessories: Engine block gun
• Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)[2]
Part of the first wave of Deluxes in Legacy: Evolution, Hot Shot is based on the Armada version of the character and transforms into a yellow sports car, once again a close-but-not-quite-for-legal-reasons yellow Audi TT. He includes an engine block gun like his original Armada toy, but unlike that toy, he does not include Jolt. However, he does have a single ”Powerlinx” post in the usual spot on the back of his car mode in the middle of the spoiler, and yes, the original Jolt toy fits perfectly and can even do the propeller-back thing.
Hot Shot’s Evo-Fusion gimmick allows his Axlezooka to emerge from his back, though this time around, it is not spring-loaded in any way and must be manually pulled out. One of the hubcaps has a 5 mm post-hole in it for plugging in blast effects or other weapons to make it even more gloriously ridiculous; the tire is a separate part so it spins around the stationary hubcap. Due to his transformation, he can still do the ”driving claws” thing in car mode, but again it’s all manual, and he lacks the tread-pattern sculpting on his feet.
This figure was revealed during Hasbro Pulse Con 2022. It was scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023 but arrived at Philippine retail in late November 2022.
