I kinda wish Hasbro would do Armada Demolishor and try some characters from other series such as Beast Machines, Energon and Rescue Bots. Characters I would pick for theme would be Obsidian, Strika and Tankor for Beast Machines, Roadblock, Snowcat, Shockblast and Constructicon Maximus for Engergon and Heatwave, Boulder, Whirl, Wedge and Scorch for Rescue Bots.
Such a beautiful figure! I love both versions of Armada Hot Shot, but I love how this one is an homage to Hot Rod from the color scheme. Also, a minicon in Legacy at long last? This is amazing!

I actually prefer the Yellow Hot Shot, but to have him in the Hot Rod colors is very nice because the whole reason he is called "Hot Shot" was because he was going to be Hot Rod but Hasbro didn't have the trademark for the name 🧐 (Both, Hot Shot and Hot Rod are some of my favorite Tranaformers ever :) )
Personally I REALLY hope this doesn't become the trend here, holding minicons hostage behind recolors of the main stand-alone releases just to force us to double dip.

@@PrimeVsPrime That'd be cool. I'm fine with the idea of mincons coming with recolor releases, I just dont want to see minicons be exclusive to them as a form of incentive to collectors. If they're going to start bundling minicons with Armada figures I would hope that they just start bundling them with all Armada figures. Or, like you say, offer them in minicon packs so that you aren't forced to double dip just for a 2" figure.
Oh my God, it's Jolt, the minicon is back to powerlinx to evolution with Hotshot.
My hope for minicons has been restored. I cant wait to collect them and have them all chilling on optimus' trailer

Fantastic update, and awesome to see the return of Minicons. Really unfortunate Hasbro didn't go ahead with orange Jolt with the original release as the Powerlinx originally had a yellow Jolt. Still owning both the originals the Powelinx one interestingly had the visor molded in place with the head whereas the Legacy kept it functional like the first release. Also that mold as Wheeljack with some retooling and a scarred hood and door batons would be perfect.
@michyoungie
Жыл бұрын
Toy Powerlinx Hot Shot had a yellow Jolt because of gang-molding (Jolt is molded with some of Hot Shot's red parts), so when the red went to yellow with the repaint Jolt tagged along. But that's not accurate, as Jolt didn't change colors and in fact never appeared in the show again after Episode 43 "Puppet". Along with Jolt no longer appearing, Hot Shot's Axlezooka also never appeared hence the new guns. Yeah I get they are toy fans, but I love this setup as getting both will have you show accurate versions of both Hot Shots (Yellow with Jolt, Red with guns).
1:00 “Suspiciously similar to Armada Wheeljack” Huh, I wonder if that could be because the original Shattered Glass Sideswipe was a recolor of Armada Wheeljack, and that it didn’t actually come with a minicon originally and the literal only point in the minicon being included is the pre tooling done for Armada Wheeljack. But maybe that’s just a guess and totally wrong; what next, Armada Galvatron with a minicon?

Armada Galvatron with a minicon to make up for the lack of one with armada Megatron 🤩
Can't wait for this set to come out, I am a huge Hotrod/Rodimus collector and this is a must buy for me. I remember reading an interview in Wizard magazine ( a north american magazine that covered toys, movies, comics, and cartoons) with the character designer for armada and he said that hasbro had lost the rights for the names hotrod and bumblebee so they combined the 2 characters and came up with hotshot as a replacement.
This is really cool! Love that Armada has made such a grand and awesome return to the toy scene!

I am absolutely all for the return of Minicons, even if they arent immediately paired with their currently released buddies like Starscream, Megatron, Optimus, or Tidal Wave etc. Given the potential of the Micro masters (which I love despite their flaws, as I enjoy using the smaller scale figures as minis for the Transformers RPG), I'd really like to see what current technology does for the teams. The Star/Dark Saber teams seem a given, but the Requiem Blaster would be great, & it'd be fun to see their take on Armada Perceptor. And if we're *really* lucky, we could see some of the non-toy Minicons from the 2004 PS2 game... Hey, I can dream, right?
the reason jolt is here is because they had budget, it basically cheap for hotshot as they're reusing a mold with extra budget which means budget for Jolt it could happen for armada galvatron as its the same budget as the original but all they are changing is paint and they are paying for the pins and stuff which means its possible for Megs minicon but the only way we could get them in a normal budget is if they were all in a box set but this is a very good first start for minicons

Hot shot but red and with jolt
I will say I like both colors for Hot Shot. Truthfully though (and probably not surprising) I'm excited for the Jolt Minicon. (Armada is actually my favorite version of Jolt). I also find it interesting that they colored Jolt orange instead of Red or Yellow, guess they decided to do a middle ground since regular Hot Shot doesn't have a regular Jolt.
@michyoungie
Жыл бұрын
With Jolt it's not a middle ground but show/cartoon accuracy, toy Jolt was red because he shares the same mold as some of Hot Shot's red parts. Hence when the repaint came and those said red parts changed to yellow Jolt also followed suit. In the show Jolt was this orange throughout (although missing some proper red color on some small parts), the yellow colorway wasn't a thing at all.
