First off, Hot Shot looks great, I'll absolutely be grabbing him. Glad to see he looks distinct enough from Hound that I'll willingly get both, and he'll go great with Leader Prime.
...wait, now retail/Autobot Impactor doesn't even get his helmet crest painted?! Wow, it's almost like Hasbro is determined to make me buy the Amazon 3-pack instead of retail Impactor by making the retail one vastly inferior to the exclusive version. Well, it's working, I guess I have to get it now. At least that means I can use Aragon's parts to give Hot Shot his back turret/shoulder guns.
Spinister and Astrotrain still look flawless though, and while I fell solidly on the negative side of the Barricade debate when he was first revealed, he has grown on me significantly since then, so I'm actually excited for him now. I think it was because I heard someone say the figure reminded them of his design from WfC the game, that's a win for me.

It doesn't combine or merge with the robot mode in any way, but it works as a storage crate for his weaponry.
