Title:
Jolt With Hot Shot Hotshot
Description:
Hot Shot (Deluxe Class, 2009)
Known designers: Bill Rawley (Hasbro)
An update of his Armada form, Hot Shot transforms from a sleek yellow Audi TT-like hot rod sports car with transparent windows and headlights into a fully poseable robot. Jolt is able to attach via a Mini-Con peg on Hot Shot’s shoulder, but this doesn’t activate any features. Jolt plugs into Hot Shot’s vehicle mode by pushing the arms/engines through slots under the spoiler; Jolt cannot fold so that his propeller faces back like the original toy. Additionally, Hot Shot’s fist holes are smaller than the standard 5mm, making him incompatible with all weapons from his previous forms. Because there is no gap molded into the rear bumper to accommodate missile launchers (see below), the car kibble over his shoulders bumps together and cannot sit properly. He’s also infamous for having a horribly finicky transformation, with his windshield, door, and roof pieces refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position.Hot Shot’s prototype featured transparent plastic on his side windows to match his windshield and rear window, but was replaced with painted opaque windows on the final toy.Universe Hot Shot was redecoed and retooled into Henkei! Henkei! Hot Rod. The Henkei! Henkei! version retains missile launchers originally planned for the Hasbro release. The Henkei! Henkei! version of the mold was redecoed as the Transformers Collectors’ Club 2010 freebie, Elite Guard Dion.
