For the most part he's fine, but his arms bug the hell out of me, they're so gangly and unnaturally far from his torso. Plus I think popping out little Hot Rod wings is a waste of the gimmick. I'd rather give his slot to either Evac or Mudflap... probably Mudflap since he's got a neat transformation and that MASSIVE (though a little unwieldy) sword. Probably bump him to the 10 spot and move everything up.

No list is perfect and this one was more popularity based since it was voted by the site members. Mud flap was a less popular character/toy and thus not as many people had him to pick him. Personally though I prefer HotShot over Mudflap, I just find him to look better in both modes. I really love that head sculpt too.

I might as well. Some of my personal favorites didn’t make it either like Scourge and Landmine which would be in my personal top 5. I really like scrap metal too and loads of other scouts. But it’s fine, all those toys found or will find a way into other lists.

Thanks for the kìnd comment.

How? Both are the same design.

And even that would be a pretty short list, I don't know if I can think of 5 actual stinkers in the line.
We could still do a top 5 worst for fun.
Off the top of my head I would have overhaul, thunderblast, override (that articulation is atrocious), and backstop. Is there another terrible scout figure out there?

CD Scattorshot does have a rotating setup: it's just really hard to move. It ends up on the back:
And it looks the exact same as CW megaton when you flip his chest up, want you look at that Kanrabat.
I guess an apology is owed.
