    Only 80% because they left out the big cannon but some one will probably make an upgrade kit for that.

    I won't buy it since it is Hotshot but it is an improvement.

    I'll pass. The price hikes make this figure not worth it.

    I just wish there was a minicon gimmick on the Universe model.

    Still more excited for the Henkei version, but it's nice to see the comparison shots between the 2.

    U-Hotshot does look better then A-Hotshot. With U-Jolt I don't know there's somethings about him that seems off. He looks cool though but I don't know its probably just me.

    I'm gonna miss the engine and the axle cannon, but it's a worthy sacrifice for this upgrade.

    Much improved design, I wish they would have done something different with the back kibble on the new one, but that's a minor complaint. Still not sure if I'll get this one though, was never a big fan of this character.

    Meh... I liked Universe Hot Shot as an unpainted test shot...
    I'll pick him up if he goes down to clearance.

    I see nothing of an improvement with the Universe version. Seriously. Nothing. The alt mode looks terible next to the Armada version, Jolt is just thrashed and the back/arm kibble in bot mode makes the Armada's version look like masterpiece engineering. Hands down I think this guy is the worst figure coming out of the Universe line, closely tied by Cheetor.

    YES! Agreed fully. If any figure from the Armada line needed an update it was Leader Prime. So much potential was there! Scrap the stupid electronics; mine never really worked all that well to start with. More articulation, better paint apps and you've got an instant win figure!
