It's a conspiracy, I tell you. I was offered these two exact toys (plus a Bumblebee) by a sneaky Brit yesterday, and I'm very tempted by Hot Shot. Knock Out doesn't look bad either. I may have to get both.

is it just me or could hotshot double as a great skids with a head replacement?

Knock Out still looks like a KO figure to me, both the paint and plastic look cheap.

I was just thinking how nice he might have looked if he'd been cast in dark red plastic (along the lines of DOTM Cyberverse Powerglide) with the bright red parts painted instead.

Sigh.

Knock Out looks so sleek and stylish in the show but this figure looks so bland! Reprolabels, do your stuff!

^That's what I'm waiting on. Not that the figure will be out here for awhile yet anyway. I like the mold well enough, but the lame paint job just really sucks. Reprolabels can save it!

Hot Shot's face is confusing to me. When I look at the toy, the "eye brows" are the eyes to me. I completely look past his actual eyes, which are below the silver eye brows. They should have done the eyes in a yellow color or something to make them stand out from the silver. The blue just blends in with the blue of his head. No matter how many times I look at the toy, the eye brows just stare back at me.

Whoa. This whole time I didn't even know he had blue eyes under there. Maybe they should have made the eyebrows black or a darker shade of silver or something.

In the recent gallery of Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise HOT SHOT, you might have noticed that I modified Hot Shot and Bumblebee's heads so that it sits properly above his chest/shoulders. All you have to do is remove the last two teeth behind the head with an exacto knife as demonstrated in my pictures and MisterFanwank's video below. Care should be used so that you do not accidentally scar other plastic pieces. I was able to do the modification without taking the figure apart, but as you can see from the video below some might recommend that you take the figure apart.

Sweet, I might have to try that. I'll probably mess it up and ruin the toy, but hey, it's Bumblebee, I'm sure a replacement will be easy to find.

It's still completely unnecessary. :\ Why risk ruining it for a pointless mod?

I tried transforming it the way some of you have suggested and the head doesn't lay down as flat as it did after the mod, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Check out the pictures. As far as I can tell, Mine is sitting just as far back as your galleries show. (sorry for the size and all, these were taken to show some friends on another board). No modifications, just pushed it back some to sit better in robot mode.
