That looks great, so much better than the original, I'll definitely buy this set! And the box art teases what looks like an Armada Thrust from the Earthrise Seeker mould, not ideal, but it would be great if Thrust also came with a Mini-Con and blast effects.

Loving the deco. If course I do.
And the fact he gets Jolt now and a couple of extra guns is awesome.
Of course the minicon, and extra guns and blast effects effectively means he is now a voyager priced figure right?

The pics show a big windowless box, suggesting a unique pricepoint outside of the normal size classes, since it's a set that comes with a Mini-Con, two new gun accessories, and blast effects.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:Will this Hotshot be sold as a deluxe, a voyager, or will it be some exclusive like RedCog with its own price point?

....I don't know how I feel about that retool. Interesting note though, now that I'm looking at the background more closely, I think this box art is based off this shot from the episode the extra weapons are from, considering not just the Decepticon base backdrop but also Thrust's presence by the Hydra Cannon: And between this Hot Shot, the box art tease of Thrust, and the listing for Galvatron next year, the only missing character here would be Wheeljack.Munkky wrote:And the box art teases what looks like an Armada Thrust from the Earthrise Seeker mould, not ideal, but it would be great if Thrust also came with a Mini-Con and blast effects.

> Kaskade and Javelin - I don't read the comics so I had no idea who these characters were until this set was leaked so I probably won't buy them, but they look decent and it's nice that they went with the Bumblebee Movie Arcee mould for Javelin.
> Nacelle - Nope. Easy pass.
> Nova Prime - Again, I don't read the comics, but OH SWEET WAMPUM that looks nice! I like the Siege Ultra Magnus mould and I never had Galaxy Upgrade Optimus, so I may buy this.

Let's hope that is Toys R Us sell this, it will not be at 55$CAN like RedCog.
Dafuk was that price? No wonder Redcog became on "permanent sale" at the more normal 35/40$CAN.
I expect the same thing will happen with this Hotshot. I'll bid my time.

I wonder if they'll actually release that. I can't tell how it's supposed to transform and actually maintain the colors. The cockpit is green which wouldn't work in jet mode and he has little wings on his arms which wouldn't exactly fit in his chest.

Totally agree, they completely missed the mark here, celebrating the wrong part of his legacy.

Probably done so they could use the Earthrise Thrust mold for that Armada Thrust. Even though it doesn’t quite work, since Armada Thrust didn’t have v-tol engines on his wings, only one behind the cockpit.

Agreed, even though the siege mold is the far superior mold, he should've looked like the old botcon toy
