    Props to everyone else to did this before me.

    After making Smokescreen I had an extra Hot Shot head that I felt would have gone better on the BB body. I like the Hot Shot figure but it still has the Sideburn vibe to it over Hot Shot.

    I tracked down a BB on ebay ($5.00 shipped :)  ) and got to work on Armadifying BB into Hotshot.

    He was basically a repaint with added detailing and a modded gun. I tried to make it look like the Armada Hot Shot only with a TFP twist to him. Just doing HS was not enough however and I found my extra Jolt and tweeked him with new ports so he can plug into the HS figure. Just like the original figure HS gun can combine with Jolt and Joly can turn into a turbo booster.

    Thanks for looking,
    Shinobi

    Besides a red painted little swoosh on the back its exactly the same as your standard BB.

    Transformers Armada nod is only completed with a Minicon.

    I really like this as a true Hot Shot nod, but I can see why they went with blue.
