Okay we all know that there is going to be a Transformers Prime Hot Shot toy, but will he be in the show, well I think he will because I noticed several things

One is that Hasbro will be introducing new charcters into the series, and they will be releasing toys based on the main ones in the show at the moment, which is why we will get a Dreadwing first and a Skyquake second

When I looked at Hot Shots toy packaging and saw his CGI image on the box I noticed the most important detail, he was diffretn, now that my not make sense but let me explain

Usally if there is an image on the box weather it's the head of the robots or a image of them on the box, HAsbro always uses the same one and reclors it, like Movie Cliffjumper was just Bumblebee's head colord red, Rescue Ratchet was just a white and red Ratchet head, HAsbro is sloppy and just changes the colors,

However for Hotshot, they took their time, unlike Bumblebee, the windows on his doors do show up in robot mode, he has glowing blue parts that don't show up on the toy, he has flames on his arms that arn't on the toy, anyways just look at the iomage and compare it to Bumblebee you can see there are many diffrences from the toy, the image and Bumblebee, which leads me to say, they already have a full CGI shot of Hot Shot, so that means he will be in the sereis right

Thoughts

 

that does seem interesting, the differences, but then again, that doesnt matter, imo, it comes down to the quality of the image. For example, look at Ironhide's box art, it is TFP like, but it's not the same in quality, it doesnt have that same feel like it was taken right from the show, while Dreadwing's image looks like it was popped right from the show. DUnno if you're getting what I'm saying, but yeah. Hot Shot would be cool, shame he'd just be a Bumblebee though

 

That must mean that "BEE" is going to bite it.

 

I found that curious as well. I'm all for Hot Shot showing up.

 

I so hope Hot Shot shows up

 

It was, I noticed this on Ironhide as well, but Hot Shot had the same quality as everyone else who has been in the show

 

Interesting theory. Personally I would love to see Hot-Shot show up on the show. But seeing as how he and Bumblebee share the same body type, I think it's unlikely. (Unless their spark-twins like Dreadwing and Skyquake...but what are the chances  )

 

To be fair their heads are different at least

 

I'd love to see him in the show- he looks so freaking cute. Maybe he's like Bumblebee's.. I dunno, batchsibling or something?

 

Well, it was stated Bumbles was made during the war right? Maybe he has a standard soldier bodytype, along with Hot Shot. Maybe the BB body was like the Autobot counterpart of the Vehicons. Pure conjecture, but that's just my take on it.

 

No it doesn't. That's a retooled version of Bumblebee's box art. It's even in the same pose.

 

Hence the onslaught of RID Bumblebee figures all over the place.  

 

Hot Shot showing up would be awesome, mostly since either A.) we'll have a actual kid appeal charecter with a charecter and B.) their's a shot we coudl see Velocitron show up in this universe.

 

We will get Hot Shot and Ironhide in show as part of the Prime Version of Team Athena.

 

Hot Shot's art is just an edited Bumblebee pic with a new head and some new designs. Although they already have at least 3 blue bots on the show, I can't see why they'd want to add another. It would make fight scenes harder to follow. That's the reason they changed Rampage to red in ROTF.

 

No more model reuse for new characters

pleasepleasepleaseplease

 

I like Hot Shot, he's one of my favorites next to Jazz and I'm open for him to showing up and staying in Prime, but I'm not holding my breathe.

 

Interesting. I rather hope Hotshot doesn't turn up. Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Miko and Fowler are enough childishness for me. And they wouldn't kill Bumblebee, he's not going to replace Fowler or Bulkhead. So I really don't want him to show up.

 

If he does show, i √√aNt jaAM.

 

What is the point of bringing Hot Shot in as long as we have Bee ???.....i don't get that !

Bring Grimlock, Jazz, Ironhide, Prowl or maybe Sunstreaker into the show.
