Hmm, true. Was trying to pay some attention to that but was also like I said lazy and didn't know which parts were colorgrouped together.

 

He looks like McDonald staff

 

 

No. Ball is much too large for the hole. You can kinda finagle something with the other tabs, but it’s not particularly stable or satisfying.

 

Everything about this toy is so lovable that the one flaw (in my mind) is so much more glaring--that they painted the clear blue plastic roof panels yellow. I wish they would stop doing this. I think that the paint would probably be a pretty good match for the plastic if another coat or two were applied, but as it is, the thin layer of yellow paint on the blue plastic ends up looking the littlest bit green to my eyes. I don't know why they didn't just do the roof in opaque plastic and paint the windows, it was good enough for the Armada toy.

 

Would have looked better if they ditched the clear plastic and painted the windows.

 

The original 2002/3 Jolt can fit on the back of Hot Shot, but it has to be angled a bit because of the height of the alt mode, and his arms have to be folded back due to the spoilers.

Now I'm hoping someone like DNA Design does an upgrade kit with a new Jolt...though I suppose an official Core Jolt isn't out of the question either?

 

hows the port fit? i tried bulkheads minicon pegs with armada grindor, and it was super tight and ripped out the inner bar from his port :/

 

I'd very much like to see this mold in his Powerlinx colors.

 

Same. One of the better Armada repaints. I really liked yellow Jolt. I remember hunting for the version with the detailed bot symbol versus the red blob version.

 

Is anyone else's visor super loose? Or does anyone know how it is connected to the head? I want to pop mine off and tighten the connection but don't want to break it.

 

I don't think you can pop it off—if you can, we'll be seeing loads of visorless Hot Shots on store shelves in four or five months. I suspect the head is two pieces put together that close around a knob on each end of the visor and keep it in place. I just put a drop of floor polish on each side and stood him upside-down for 24 hours (easy to do because of his shoulder pads) so that the polish doesn't run down into the neck, and that did the trick.

 

Sorry, just saw this! It's a bit of a tight fit, but I got it on and off with no real problems.

 

oh my gosh the blob logos. It's astonishing they thought that was ok. Looked so bad.

 

Has anyone found Hot Shot at Target in southern California?

I am concerned due to my local Target store informing me that they have, hopefully temporarily, discontinued the Legacy deluxe class figures and will no longer have them in stock.

 

I’ve seen em in Santa Clarita

 

Ya I saw one in Torrance or San Pedro or harbor city I forgot which one. I didn’t pick it up but it was there maybe a week or 2 ago

 

Which Target store said this?

 

The Target store in Santa Barbara. They took out the peg where deluxe Legacy figures had been, and replaced it with one for the voyager class figures, even though voyagers do not have hooks to hang from. They actually balanced the boxes on an empty peg underneath.

This Target store is one of the small-format Target stores, being inside an old mall building that is only 34,000 square feet, making it one of the smallest Targets out there. Most average sized Target stores are inside buildings that average around 130,000 square feet.
