Hot Shot
- Hot Shot is a Zapbots Cars from the Generation 1 continuity family.
One of the youngest Zapbots to come off the assembly line, Hot Shot is a no-nonsense fighter who is upfront and honest about his thoughts and feelings. Seemingly unaware of the universe around him at times he had a habit of not knowing when to close his audio transmitters. This tends to put him and his fellow comrades in precarious situations. However, he is a fantastic fighter coming off the battlefield with barely a scratch. He hangs out with his often hyper buddy Vision, and the old cantankerous Rup who he is constantly always nagging him for his secret origin story.

Behind the Scenes
My version of 'Hot Rod' was created long before Hasbro decided to have a character in the Armada cartoon called 'Hot Shot'. Guess I could sue but um... my drawing in 1990 probably wouldn't hold up in court.
