The character model for Animated Hot Shot has been found on tfwiki.net. Derrick Wyatt, Art Director/Lead Character Designer for Transformers Animated, provided the image to TF Wiki. Hot Shot is scheduled to appear in Season Three of Animated under the command of Rodimus Prime!

Or maybe… Wheeljack looks weird compared to him!

*fangirl squealy* HOT SHOT'S THE BEST!
So what if he looked fat in Armada? He was my second favourite next to Optimus! Good on you people for adding in Shotty! You guys rule!
I pray that Brent Miller is going to provide his voice, he did a darn good job as Hot Shot instead of Kirby Morrow in Cybertron. Geez! Next year's gonna be a great year!

Out of The two teams. I think Brawn and Cyclonus borrow the most from their G1 selves.
Although them not really having anything else to go off of was probably a factor.

About the Maramba designs thing:
Funny, for some reason, I always thought Cyclonus and Brawn looked kinda different from other designs, they just looked alot more… hmmm… IDK… "Samurai Jack-ish" than Derrick's work.

Eh, I personally don't count Blurr as a "speed freak". He's ubber fast, but he's not arrogant like Bumblebee is, or Hot Shot sounds like.

Prediction: Hot Shot is future Bumblebee.

He appears to be a racer with the helmet look and the color scheme, so what is that 3 speed freaks on the show now?

Seems Maramba also did Brawn, Cyclonus and Oil Slick.
For those that haven't seen the TFCC bios. Oil Slick has a different deco than his toy or previous appearances, and a few other design tweaks.

When I first saw this pic, I loathed what TFA has morphed Hot Shot into. Well it's a good thing I didn't post then, because he's starting to grow on me now.
I like the color scheme allot.

Really? Where did you get that info?

Fun Fact: Hot Shot was designed by Irineo Maramba; not Derrick Wyatt.

I always liked Hotshot because to me he wasa more updated version of HOTROD, and now we will get to see him and Rodimus on the tv together in the same show.

That really looks cool, I might just have to get this one.
