R.I.P. to Cybertron Hotshot’s voice actor Kirby Morrow (1973-2020), It’s nice to see that Zane and Cole shared the same role.

I just want an Energon Hotshot to complete the Unicron Trilogy Hotshots.

Same with Energon Starscream...

The arm proportions make more sense if you factor the upper arm (red part) starts UNDER the shoulder pad, instead of AT the shoulder. It's a really weird design.

Hey don't forget Metroplex we got him too for "Transformers: Cybertron" he should be in that Autobot group shot with Optimus Prime, Victor Prime, Override & Hot Shot!

I still secretly want the star saber trio T_T, But I'd rather save up for TFC Toys Poseidon 6 figure combiner, all their weapons also combine into a giant sword that is way more badass.

Omg i get to feel nostalgia on this one because I actually had the original, it was one of my favorites as a kid.

This i so good, just seeing this gave me a urge to wage my battle against the Decepticons

My favorite toy!!!

I know it’s not a huge upgrade compared to the original, but having a modern version of my favorite toy as a kid makes me extremely happy.

Hot Shot: I was worried I wouldn't get a squirrel.

I'm certainly picking this up for certain. My originals arm came off and i don't want to sell an organ to get a new one

Pretty nice update imo, the robot mode has a much cleaner silhouette than the original. Just wish the wings were a bit bigger, you can't really see them over the giant shoulders.

Awesome review Emgo! I have to get this one simply because I am collecting all the Cybertron Transformers

If they'd made the windshield rotate and flip up to cover the back rather than dangle over the butt, it would be a massive improvement for almost no extra parts.

kinda sucks the new hot shot doesnt have the 3 pipes behind the door on the arms like the original

Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but the Star Raiders Canonbolt, made from the Skids mold, with a fair bit of remolding to take after the cybertron version, so there's about a 50% chance he'll be repainted into Red Alert

Despite not having any attachment to Cybertron, I think this guy looks sick! I actually kinda want him, tbh! It'd be cool to have a Hot Shot in the collection!

You are to good

well im still gonna pick this guy up

Hot Shot looks good.

It has been 19 years since I got the original copy of this Hotshot. 19 years since I got my first Transformer. Thank you EmGo and Hasbro for taking me back thru time to when I fell in love with the Franchise! 🥹❤️

You know, I'm gonna pick this one up me thinks.

Bought this thing out of pure nostalgia since the OG was my first TF toy

Hey Emgo, I found out fans hobby MB-26 the saber team ( The star saber mini-cons)is available for order in August of 2024. Also I remember Hot Shot, he beated Override for the speed planet cup, then got upgraded to his Cybertron assault team with red alert and scattershot.

Dont know why they left out the hotrod pipes on his arms

cool

The arm bend should have been jointed to the wheel.

Surprisingly less positieve opinions than i expected from emgo. Thats neat.

I don't remember if I got the Cybertron Hot Shot mold; currently, all my figures from that era are in storage totes and I don't yet have the shelf space to uncrate and display them. I thought I remembered him having stubby little forearms but better shoulders than this iteration, though, and I'm glad to see that I remembered this much correctly.

I missed the actor of Hot Shot Kirby Morrow.

3:44 i know on the original toy the arms are also the same way with the elbows thou i do wish they did mold in his arm gun like his old toy had

This is going to be way off topic but did anyone notice in the evolution artwork poster with the g1 insecticons that if you look closely you can actually see alm delux insecticons right behind Bombshell , Shrapnel and Kickback got curious after getting chop shop and batrage today and yeah they're all in the evolution poster even venom .

I'm not familiar with this character, but overall, he looks good. I don't like those huge hinges at the shoulders. I'd be keeping those door armour parts on as it takes some attention of those daft arms. Great video man.

Wonder if the Excellion repaint of hotshot will be coming, but honestly id love to see the CDF( Cybertron Defense Force)Hotshot as a voyager class

I definitely used to own this and also have no idea where it is or the key 💀 but damn the injustice done with this remake..

Hasbro could probably remould/repaint this into at least one of G2 Decepticon Stormtroopers

Still drives me mad that Cybertron is in the classics line as I remember watching these shows kind of secretively as a young adult thinking oh crap I'm watching something really intended for little kids but I enjoyed Armada energon and Cybertron....... With all the crazy stuff going on years back these shows were comfort food a nice safe getaway

any Hot Shot i like would be this version to Armada Hot Shot and his alternate color in red then his other variant from Energon that utilizes the power link cores

Weren't the Cyber Planet Keys only held by the Planet leaders (Override, Evac, etc)? All other keys were just Cyber Keys, right?

Kinda want this figure but im also more into live action designs… what do you think? Ps. Past few video have been a blast man! Keep on trucking!

Don't you mean...keep on rising? LOL😂 i hear you. I personally prefer what they were doing with the MP-01 Optimus Prime over current masterpieces, but some styles of figures will grab my attention too. My favorite baye verse figure has to be the revenge of the fallen ravage. I'm not a big fan of most of those designs, but that figure will always be one of my favorite figures.

I never watched Cybertron so I never realized exactly how much he looked like Hot Rod (are we sure he wasn't supposed to BE Hot Rod and Hasbro just lost the name at the time?). His shins even look almost exactly like the G1 Hot Rod toy shins. I'm seeing a lot of things I expect Toyhax to fix, like the missing yellow on the spoiler and the detail on the grey part on the roof/backpack. Honestly kind of amazed the forearm kibble isn't 100% transclearant yellow with blue paint like on the original, given that this is 2024 Hasbro we're talking about here. That's one thing actually better on this new one.

I want this just to repaint him white purple and gold. VOLFOG

Kinda weird to see a representation of cybertron Hot Shot both in siege and in Legacy. Still waiting my Aramada Thundercracker and Skywarp

man the old toy had really short arms in comparison

Emgo went baiwei scourge review?

Anyone else remember the original having different proportions. I don’t remember the tiny forearms and huge backpack. I was also 8 so that is probably why.

Im more annoyed the planet key is way to small in the new one

Literally no one. One of the WORSE things Hasbro ever implemented on their figures. It's one of the BIGGEST fan complaints, right behind Gold/Brown Plastic Syndrome and transparent plastic used on joints. Unless there is a bright light source behind the figure AT ALL TIMES, light piping gives them that "dead eyed" look because their optics aren't lit up. Works great if you want to pretend they are dead, looks terrible if you want to display them. Thank Primus, Hasbro is finally listening the to fans and dropping that "feature".

​@@AS42100 I don't think I ever saw that one. I have the original from the 80s. He was one of my favorite figures.

Perfectly fine with the OG, despite part of it's paint scratched off, but I am keeping it in storage and have his Vanguard version on display, and using Excelliom as the collection display model for the mold. Also would it be too much to ask Hasbro for a Legacy Signal Lancer?

Kinda weird that he's got this weird dark blue unpaintable plastic that isn't even trying to match any of the colors he's actually supposed to have. Feels like most of it could have just been color-matched to his bright blue instead, except for his fists, which probably don't need to be unpaintable plastic in the first place.

No mention of how the cyber planet key is functional with Override as well? I was wondering how well it fits into her blaster, since my OG cyber key is a tad loose in that port.

Why are his elbows that far down his arms?

I hope they release an upgrade for the arms, those doors on the forearms are really ugly. They could do something like Legacy Dragstrip

Something is off about the new figures face but I just can't put my finger on what it is

YOU HAVE ARMS???? I thought you were a pair of disembodied hands this whole time. Next thing you're gonna tell me is you got legs too??

Wasn't Revenge of the Fallen Breakaway a straight up recolor of og Cybertron Hot Shot?

Man Ultra Magnus is getting paranoid in his old age. LOL 😂 I want to get one, but much like other figures lately I've to wait until later to get it. Between my move this year, past pre-orders, and other commitments my wallet is pretty maxed out this year. That and god only knows if hasbro is going to try and sneak in another haslab project in the regular time slot. They might since the omega Prime was seriously late launched for something that was supposed to launch last october. That would force me to cancel other orders to get that. There is way too much wallet fatigue level of product to even try to keep up 😢😢😢

Isn't he supposed to have a combined mode? Edit oh that's energon lol

Kirby Morrow would've been proud that the character he voiced in _Cybertron_ got a new modernized toy.

How long has he had a ring

Have to say I was on the fence before but I think while I do like the update, I'll have to skip this one. The arms look bad in hand and the face feels like it's too far back on the head. That visor looks like it sticks out way too much.

I think I prefer the original one. Transformers are at the point where there's not much new to add. The ankle tilt seems to be the newest thing.

Hot Shot is my favourite

Hey emgo where's the agora Optimus prime review?

@emgo316

5 күн бұрын

Already answered you about that. Waiting for the base to get here.

It's so strange seeing Armada/Energon/Cybertron being precious retro figures who get modern updates now, they still feel like the "new" guys to this old fogey. That said, most of the recent figures seem a bit redundant to me: the original Cybertron Leader Optimus, Voyager Starscream, & Voyager Vector all still hold up extremely well, with the Legacy iterations either just comparable or (in Optimus' case) inferior to the original. Great for folk who didn't get the original line, but I'm glad I kept my now-preciouses. It's just a shame we probably won't get more articulated/better engineered versions of bots that could've really done with improvements - Side Swipe, Cyclonus, Overload, etc. I'm guessing they'll be doing Red Alert at some point too.
