Speedy car, small arms, big legs helloooo Hot Shot
I know you wouldn't know it from the title but I love this figure. I have the Armada Hot Shot and I compare them and...
Well where's dah' beef, man? His arms got a serious downgrade and so did his head. I guess he's supposed to be ten years older but man I didn't think Hot Shot was old enough to start shrinking, haha. Okay on a serious note, this is obviously the best PLer in the whole Energon line. Inferno has crappy transformation, Ironhide and Jetfire have bad plastic and dull colors, Rodimus had poor joints so he'll just fall over after a while and Prowl's "ears" are stuck in an annoying way. Well I guess I'll Start with the Vehicular mode, It's a neat little sports car. Cool points: clear plastic headlights, clear plastic windshield, opening doors, opening hood, engine with an autobot symbol on it and a well hidden head (a commodity of this Energon line). Wierd points: gun is not at all well hidden (so much for robots in disguise). Ugly Points: Strange floor protruding beyond the doors edge and looking into the windshield and seeing his torso and finding out he's actually a really ugly converible :>. When you look at the front of his car, he has a wierd little face with a mustache, okay Im really straying from the point. The transformation gets really annoying becuz you can compare it to Megatron and Jetfire and it's incredibley similiar. And his robot mode ive talked about but I'll continue for the sake of the consumer. Cool Points: Cool sniper gun, cool door panels, and uh that's about it. Weird points: Cat-like head, strange mouth-thing and very buff legs. Ugly Points: Incredible no buffnes on arms and chest (for being a sports car he looks like he does a lot of running, hehe) and his incredible necklessness. Now for PL mode with Inferno. PL Inferno: Cool Points: Lots an lots of guns, the red and yellow coloration are fitting for a fire-tamer. Wierd Points: Hot Shot looks almost exactly the same as Robot mode in lower body mode. Ugly Points: Inferno gives the duo a strange upper body bulge. PL Hot Shot: Cool Points: Buff legs become buff arms, and he looks pretty darn cool. Wierd Points: The scope on Hot Shot's sniper isn't on the right side to be used correctly, legs have no poseasbility. Ugly Points: Hot Shot still has no neck, sort of skirtish bulge on his lower half and you notice that his guy has ten wheels, woah. Well I'm sure I had more to say but I have no idea what it is now. Oh well I'll mention it on my Inferno review.

Energon Hotshot's Review
This toy is a lot of fun when you have the inferno transformer with it, but without it, it's a lot less fun. I rated the education vlue a 1 because all it's really teaching is how to move things around. This toy isn't that durable, I was transforming it when i ACCEDENTALLY broke his arm. I will regret thet day because ever since, the arm isn't as strong as it was before. It keeps moving the hand down when it's up and nothing is in it. All-in-all, I give it a 3.85. Have fun playing with it, but don't get disapointed when something brakes, as it will never work the same.

ENERGON HOT SHOT
AS A ENERGON FAN SO FAR THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER ONES OUT THERE. THIS GUY CAN FORM A POWERLINX WITH INFERNO WHO IS A FIRE TRUCK JUST LIKE HIS G1 COUNTERPART. IF HOT SHOT IS THE HEAD AND WAIST THE POWERLINX FIGURE WOULD BE POWERLINX HOT SHOT AND VICE VERSA IF INFERNO WAS ON TOP HE WOULD BE CALLED POWERLINX INFERNO. I HAVE BOTH ARMADA VERSIONS OF HOT SHOT AND THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BETTER THAN THOSE GUYS. GOOD PRICE TOO FOR THIS FIGURE.

Really cool Transformer Toy
I got this toy for my birthday a little while ago, and I think it's met my expectations for a transformers toy, probably even passed them. I like his vehicle mode, which resembles something you might find on a James Bond movie. He has good articulation in his legs (which are his arms when he combines with Inferno), and his arms are still good but not as articulated as the legs. He has a simple transformation. His accessories are cool too, coming with a gun with a firing missile that shoots a little less than a yard and also a strange sort of cutting tool. Overall, Hot-Shot is a really great transformer, and worth the money to add to your collection.

Hot Shot in the Hot Seat
Well, I never purchased the Armada Hot Shot, but he looked a little worse than this guy. A plus form this HS is his front windows: you can see through them, just like you could with a lot of the RID ones. Unfortunately he has no side windows, but there is a realon for that. This guy's plusses are as follows: He can combine with Inferno (Fire Truck-available now, here), Prowl (police car, I think, available if you know where to look), and Rodimus (Semi cab, same as Prowl), as well as other deluxe-sized releases in the future. He doesn't combine with Ironhidee or Jetfire, though, they are too big, and only jcombine with each other. At any rate, he can combine with any of the above-mentioned dudes to form either Powerlinx Hot Shot (if he forms the upper body, arms, and head), or Powerlinx Respective Transformer,(if he is the legs and one of the others is the head, etc.). As you can see, this gives you several combinations, so he is worth the money. His transformation will probably keep you guessing until you read the instructions, so that is a major plus. I hate the ones where you can tell how it transforms just by looking at both pictures of it. If they had transformations more like the Beast Wars or Robots in Disguise toys, I would be happier. Still, he is a must-have for any true TransFan, because the collectors get all the toys (or at least most of them) ... Read more
