Transformers Prime Hot Shot

HS seems to be a phenomenon as did DOTM Thundercracker was to SS.
I think I plan to get him!

I just got this one, and I really like it. Like Sol, I passed on the Bumblebee, so this was my first experience with this mold as well. The only real complaint I have with it is the automorph for the neckplate. I had to fiddle with mine before I could get it to sit flush. I'm not a huge fan of the weapons, but they're ok. The rest of Hot Shot really makes up for the shortcomings. I really wished that the whole figure had been painted with that coat of blue that's on the roof - it's really super slick (it's got a tiny bit of metal flake in it). The head rocks, and I really like all of the colors.

I wish that this guy had been used instead of Bumblebee in the show.

Thanks to a board member, I was able to grab a Hot Shot for my son. As I too passed on Bee, this was my first experience with the mold.

Regarding the deco - it is really great. And like SQ7 says, that shade of blue on the roof is pure win. Head sculpt is also very nice and he looks great.

All that said though, I hate hate hate the shoulders. The head plate will not the best is miles better than what is happening with the shoulders.

Anyway, I've been on a bit of a drought and all those Bee's were starting to wear me down, but after hands on with HS my resolve has been strengthened.

Here's some TF Prime Hot Shot love:

Dynamic Poseability


Ready for Fisticuffs


Come At Me Bro!


California Surfing


Ballet Practice?

Looks like he's about to moonwalk sideways to me...

Deathwing's biggest fan - check out his mods here.

A blue repaint of a pretty damn good toy that ends up being better both because of fantastic colors and the fact that the original versions have better versions available? Yep, sounds about right .


Unlike a lot of people, I DID actually buy Bumblebee (figured I could help clear the shelves of at least one BB, and I figured It'd work as a good test drive for the mold). And Hot Shot is indeed a perfect example of a repaint done right. This is a really fun mold, and I'm glad other people have a reason to get it now.

I was surprised how much I like fiddling with him. Much simpler than the FE mold, but I like the colors better tham Bee.

bb was a pass for me too, but when i saw leeked images awhile back i knew i had to have. im not a fan of the prime aesthetics, but that head mold. just wow! thats hotshot! i got mine from comic con and didnt mind a single bit paying extra. the automorph is a drag, same with shoulders, but this cybertron/armada homage to hotshot is a must have. Bumblewho?

I personally think Hot Shot looks waaaay better then Bumblebee. I now went from on the fence to buy on sight with him. Great Review,
