    I was just about to say the same thing. I may not be the biggest fan of repaints or remolds but this definitely would've worked for Armada Red Alert especially with that chest.

    You're right. :) 

    Or if I were to cross reference from Galaxy Force to Cybertron, then this figure would fall closer to the design of Cybertron Defense Hotshot.

    Though I'm primarily a G1 fan, I'm always glad to see non G1 characters get an update. I'm not loving the head sculpt though. Doesn't look youthful enough.

    I do wonder if we'll get it repainted as Roadbuster though since he was repainted from the Defence Hotshot mold.

    I wonder how it would look repainted as Ruckus. Actually I think a straight repaint of Hound might work for Energon Strongarm.

    Siege is definitely an interesting line. It's given us a few non G1 characters such as Hotshot, Barricade and Cybertron Prime as well as very obscure G1 characters such as Cog, Sixgun and the Omnibots.

    Hopefully a 3P makes an upgrade kit to take him a step further away from Hound and towards CDF Hot Shot

    Or a 3P could just make a completely new CDF Hot Shot...

    I guess they couldn't make him due to his name being the same as another character in Siege and making too many white repairs of deluxe molds.

    Dig it.

    Hot Shot was also the boy that grew up. No one mentioned that. This is at his oldest form in the 5 year story. ;) 

    Google is your friend :) 

    Completely different. Beast Wars got Masterpiece versions of Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Dinobot, Megatron, Blackarachnia. And Optimus Primal & Lio Convoy from BWII as well as Big Convoy & Optimus Primal from Encore .... SO FAR. ;) 

    Just in case you forgot.

    They are most likely gouging interest to see its worth making his own mold or not.

    To be fair this is him with Armada, Energon and the first half of Cybertron behind him. And when it comes to putting Hotshot into G1 I like to think of him as a Bumblebee type who's been through a lot more and had that bubbly go-getter attitude beaten out of him from being a wrecker or a spychanger or whatever.

    Cold Construction showed a silhouette of Cybertron Hotshot 1.0 but it hasn't happened.

    I never watched Cybertron (or any of the Unicron Trilogy) as I started collecting with Movie 1 and Animated, and never watched it afterwards. Therefore I like how they make more toys from Cybertron (and the Armada Optimus) because to me they feel like new characters :) 
    Also hope they will do something to celebrate Animated, but I don\'t know if they will

    So.. Galaxy Force / Cybertron Nitro Convoy siege remake when? :lol 
    The only thing I dig is the really spot on head sculpt and face on this new Hot shot toy. Handsome fella.

    That's pretty much how I'm choosing to view this guy. Which also means I can wave away an "inaccuracies" to the original toy by saying this is intended to be a G1 version.

    I could see getting some of the unique characters from Animated in this line like Bulkhead, Lugnut, Lockdown, etc. I'm personally all for more non-G1 characters in War for Cybertron. A G1 movie Blackout is very high on my want list along with G1 versions of Prime Knock Out and Breakdown.

    I could go for a Cybertron Override remake in WfC... especially since in the US fiction the character was made female. Kill the auto-transform gimmick and give her a more feminine look (along the lines of Chromia... doesn't have to be over the top feminine) and I'm there.

    Pretty nifty, but like the new Cybertron Prime figure, I don't really need him....

    Eh, not sure this mold works as well as i\'d hoped. The chest and shoulders are completely off. But that head is perfect though. However I am always happy to unicron trilogy getting some love.

    Agreed. I love virtually everything they’re doing for Siege and it’s great seeing some non G1 folded into the mythos. Looking forward to seeing what they (hopefully) do with Beast-era characters in WFC.

    He's going to need an upgrade kit so vehicle mode can have the turrets, that turn into the shoulder missile pads, but other than that, I like it. I'm suspecting that he'll be in another boxset, hopefully with the remaining powerdashers.

    I'd actually like one to give him a flip over chest plate so he looks more like his old self.
