'''Bludgeon''' is a ferocious warrior, skilled in the ancient Cybertronian martial art of [[Metallikato]]. Utterly vicious and aloof, Bludgeon is also highly religious, adhering to an arcane code of honor.

"Arcane", of course, is code for "bloodthirsty, murderous, sadistic, and subject to the whims of the guy holding the sword."

====Generation 1====
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''

''Bludgeon killed [[Catilla]], a former Decepticon turned Autobot causing ex-Decepticon [[Carnivac]] who loosely allied himself with the Autobot "[[Survivors]]" group to hunt Bludgeon to avenge Catilla's death.''

[[Image:bludgeon-youlie1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Look at him go. What a skeleton!]]

He later took on the leadership of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s new [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], sent to slay the newly-resurrected [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. However, alongside the [[Rescue Patrol]], the Mayhems were foiled, and inadvertently awakened the slumbering [[Primus]] in the process. During the subsequent battle against [[Unicron]], Bludgeon served as an advisor to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], and battled against Unicronian cultists on Cybertron. After Unicron's defeat and Scorponok's death, Bludgeon became leader of the Decepticons, and abandoned the ruined Cybertron to the Autobots. Alongside his lieutenant [[Krok]], Bludgeon and the Decepticons invaded and pillaged the planet [[Klo]]. The Autobots attempted to stop them, but were routed by the Decepticons until the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], the [[Neo-Knights]], and [[The Last Autobot]]. Their combined assault decimated the Decepticons and sent them into retreat.

====="Another Time and Place" text story=====

====Generation 2====

Following a brief exile, Bludgeon created a large planet-like spacecraft known as the [[Warworld]], which functioned as a vessel for pirating resources throughout the galaxy. Bludgeon then made a bid to lure Optimus Prime to Earth to steal the Autobot Creation Matrix so life could be granted to a new generation of Decepticon warriors. The plan involved a full-scale attack on Earth and did succeed in drawing Optimus Prime to Earth's defense, but not before Bludgeon was confronted by the newly-rebuilt [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who wanted command of the Decepticons for himself once more. In a brief skirmish, Megatron decapitated Bludgeon's shell and destroyed his inner robot, killing him. The victorious Decepticon leader subsequently displayed Bludgeon's severed head in the Warworld.

====Classics====
Bludgeon is still leading most of the Decepticons, to Megatron's resentment. Shockwave believes [[Bug Bite]] is one of Bludgeon's minions {{storylink|Games of Deception}}.

===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===
During the so-called 'Dark Ages' of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, Bludgeon, alongside [[Bugly]] and [[Mindwipe]], was a disciple of the mysterious being known as [[The Fallen]]. Together with him, they captured a number of Transformers in order to perform a bizarre ceremony at Cybertron's core, but were eventually foiled by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. Bludgeon was stopped from alerting The Fallen of the impending allied attack on the Well of All Sparks by a teleporting [[Skywarp]].

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comics===
An alternate universe version of Bludgeon later appeared as one of [[Unicron]]'s heralds in Dreamwave's comic in their cross-over storyline "Worlds Collide," along with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. This Bludgeon was also a martial artist, but unlike Bludgeon's verbose incarnation in Marvel Comics, this incarnation seemed to be mute. After his Pretender shell is destroyed, he is blown up when [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] detonates the Decepticon headquarters that they have taken over.

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:Bludgeon.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Talk about talking your jaw off!]]

Bludgeon is the leader of a team of Decepticons who were assigned by Megatron to look into what [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was researching before he disappeared. Megatron also sent [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to spy on them. During this time, Bludgeon discovered Shockwave's work on [[Regenesis]]. Eventually, however, they discovered the remains of Thunderwing, the Decepticon scientist who became the avatar of the Cybertronian cataclysm, and became bent on restoring the wasted Cybertron to its former glory by resurrecting him. He and his team of Decepticons ([[Iguanus (G1)|Iguanus]], [[Finback]], [[Skullgrin]], and [[Bomb-Burst]]) believed that in reawakening Thunderwing and turning him loose, the mass sacrifice of worlds would allow the rebirth of Cybertron. They also delved into the outlawed [[Pretender|polydermal grafting]] experiments pioneered by Thunderwing, in an attempt to create super-shells of their own.

In 1984 they went to [[Earth]] to extract a load of [[Ultra-Energon]], establishing a base within Mt. St. Helens. Soundwave naturally followed them. He eventually came to them asking for a cut of their profits, believing that they meant to sell the energon, but when he realized that they meant to resurrect Thunderwing he tried to stop them. They used one of Shockwave's devices to lock him in his alt-mode, then caused a volcanic eruption and returned to Cybertron via an [[orbital bounce]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}}

Twenty-three years later, [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and the [[Technobot]]s, detecting the Ultra-Energon from orbit, went to investigate, and were taken by the cult, planning to use them as raw materials for their shells. Bludgeon wanted Jetfire to witness Thunderwing's awakening, to make him see that Thunderwing had been right to experiment, but Jetfire eventually annoyed him too much. Connecting his mind to an [[Axis-Cradle]] that controlled Thunderwing's blank neuroscape, Bludgeon sent Thunderwing to destroy [[Nebulos]], then engaged the auto-drive to inspect his own shell's progess. When Optimus Prime and the Wreckers attacked Bludgeon's base on Cybertron by surprise, Iguanus escaped to the bio-graft chamber to find Bludgeon - only to find the cult leader having donned full Pretender armor, giving him a G1 Shell look which is presumably transformable. However, in Bludgeon's rush the shell was not mentally aligned, causing a psychic backlash that took down the Decepticon before the Wreckers even found him. It is unclear whether Bludgeon's mind survived, but if it did it is apparently trapped in torment. Prime felt that he got off lightly for having unleashed Thunderwing. {{storylink|Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer}}

When Optimus Prime was given the [[Matrix]], Bludgeon attempted to kill him. Some years after failing, he ended up on [[Earth]] working with [[Cobra-La]]. He was responsible for the death of [[Atomic Man]] in 1978. In the caves under Tibet that served as Cobra-La's lair, Bludgeon engaged Optimus Prime in battle. After being burned by Bludgeon, Optimus ripped the chest off of Bludgeon's Pretender shell. In his anger, Bludgeon lost his edge and fell off a cliff. Although Optimus had caught him, Bludgeon chose to fall, standing by his philosophy of "merciless death and destruction."

:''Hot Shot is an [[Autobot]] character in the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Hotshotut.gif|thumb|300px|I'm Optimus' choice for successor. Scary what goes through the big guy's head, huh?]]

'''Hot Shot''' is the quintessential young hero. He's been around long enough to earn a name for himself and a place in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s entourage, but he's still too young to know when he's in over his head. In other words, he's blunt, overconfident, and naive, yet brave and honorable. With time and experience, Prime believes, he could make an excellent leader, and has appointed him to his command structure accordingly. Hot Shot's got the goods, but he just needs to pay attention for more than five seconds. Until that day, Hot Shot's likely response to most anything is, "Yeah yeah, like, whatever."

Hot Shot's [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Jolt (Armada)|'''Jolt''']], though he has been known to moonlight with [[Mirage (Armada)|'''Mirage''']].

:''Japanese ''Micron Legend'' name'': '''Hot Rod'''<br>
:''Japanese ''Galaxy Force'' name'': '''Exillion/Exigeyser'''
:''Hungarian'' Energon ''and'' Cybertron ''name'': '''Tűzgolyó''' (meaning Fireball) -- on the ''Ultimate Battle DVD'' special he's called '''Nagyágyú''' which ''is'' the correct translation of Hot Shot, only it was the name originally given to Hot ''Rod''.

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave comics continuity===
====''Armada''====
One million years ago, Hot Shot was a member of the Autobots, the guardians of [[Cyber City]]. Soon news of a warlike faction called [[Decepticon]]s, led by the power-hungry [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], reached Cyber City via a dying [[Mini-Con]] Hot Shot found. The Mini-Con handed him a video disc and with his dying breath, demanded Hot Shot take it to Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime played the disc, a distress signal from [[Leader-1]], head of [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con village D10]], who begged the Autobots for help.

[[Image:Hotshotraizeyes.jpg|left|thumb|Hot Shot watches in horror as [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] buys the last can of [[jaAm]].]]

The Decepticons themselves soon arrived in Cyber City, armed with Mini-Cons they had captured and reconfigured to bestow incredible power when [[Powerlinx]]ed. Outclassed and near total defeat, Optimus Prime called his troops into retreat, and after the majority of Mini-Cons escaped [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to parts unknown, the Autobots lost much of the planet to the Mini-Con-powered Decepticons.

In the present day, both the Autobots and Decepticons received a signal of the Mini-Cons' activation on the planet [[Earth]]. Hot Shot and his colleagues [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] were led by Optimus Prime to the planet, where they met the Decepticons in battle. But this time, with the help of the estranged Mini-Cons, the Autobots regained the edge they lost against the Decepticons one million years prior. An uneasy alliance was formed, and Hot Shot was partnered with the Mini-Con [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_1:_First_Contact|First Contact}}

After this initial battle on Earth, Megatron is quick to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] and forge them into the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber sword]]. Optimus Prime led Hot Shot and Red Alert against the Decepticons again, despite being at a strategic disadvantage while the Mini-Cons were missing, a point Hot Shot belabored. Thankfully, the Autobot-allied Mini-Cons arrived just in time to Powerlinx with Hot Shot and the other Autobots, fend off Megatron, and rescue the Air Defense Mini-Cons from the Decepticon leader's clutches.

[[Image:Hotshotguido.jpg|thumb|200px|"Well, let's go!"]]

Soon, a Mini-Con beacon tower erected in [[Tranquility, Kansas]], drawing all Earth-bound Mini-Cons to it. Hot Shot and the rest of the Autobots again met the Decepticons in battle at the location when the tower's effect was discovered. However, they were too busy fighting to notice the beacon tower blasting off towards the Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. Hot Shot and Red Alert secreted Optimus Prime into the Decepticon base for the use of their space bridge, so that the Autobot leader could ask for reinforcements from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_2:_Fortress|Fortress}}

After the Mini-Cons were evacuated from the moon, five did not return home safely and sent a distress signal from northern Alaska. When the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] failed to retrieve them, Hot Shot and the other Autobots arrived in full force, though they were kept in check by Cyclonus, who was suffering from a Mini-Con overdose. Though they were successful, Optimus Prime disappeared before their eyes, and when Hot Shot returned to Autobase, he found [[Optimus Prime (Worlds Collide)|an Optimus Prime]], dying, sent from another timeline to warn of [[Unicron]]'s coming. Learning of the "real" Optimus Prime's disappearance, Megatron and his Decepticons stormed Autobase, nearly killing Smokescreen and heavily injuring Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scavenger.

Optimus Prime was returned to them and insisted on teaming up with the Decepticons to battle the arriving Unicron. Hot Shot excused himself from this alliance, as Smokescreen's critical condition due to the Decepticons' recent attack still weighed heavily in his mind. So when Megatron stole away during the battle with Unicron to strike a deal with the Dark God, Hot Shot, Scavenger, and Red Alert ambushed him, leaving him to die as Unicron was seemingly destroyed by the [[Mini-Con Matrix]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_3:_Worlds_Collide|Worlds Collide}}

====''Energon''====
[[Image:Hotshotironhidedw.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Sorry, Hot Shot, you've been replaced.]]

Ten years later, at the beginning of the Energon Era, Hot Shot accompanied Optimus Prime, who was skeptic and restless about the new peacetime, to his visit with the High Council in Cyber City. Prime's demands for vigilance were denied, so Hot Shot later followed him to a special [[uplink platform]] that [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] had directed them to. This trip was a first outing for the rookie Autobot [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who fawned over Hot Shot. Hot Shot met this with difficulty. Learning of the continued existence of [[Unicron]], Prime once again returned to the High Council, and again accompanied by Hot Shot. But this time, Cyber City was attacked by [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]], and [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]], who were presumed dead during the [[Unicron Battles]], but in fact were transformed into Unicron's [[Beasts of the Apocalypse]]. The Horsemen were deterred when Hot Shot and the other Autobots were granted the [[Spark of Combination]].

Hot Shot followed Prime to Earth after a distress signal was received. [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and his [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] were after a young boy who could detect [[Energon]] named [[Kicker]]. The Terrorcons outclassed them, however, and left only when their Energon-mining gear was destroyed, but not without taking Kicker. After the Autobots reunited with [[Rad]] and [[Alexis]], Hot Shot and the [[Omnicon]] [[Strongarm (Energon|Strongarm]] were able to pursue the Terrorcons and deliver a special suit to Kicker that his father, [[Doctor Jones|Dr. Jones]], had made for him. With Kicker's help, the Terrorcons were defeated and returned to Unicron.

An indeterminate number of years ago on Cybertron, Hot Shot and the Autobot [[Wheeljack_(Armada)|Wheeljack]] were amidst a fiery battlefield blaze. Wheeljack was incapacitated, so Hot Shot left him, promising to get help. However, his Autobot comrades would not let him return to help his friend. Instead, Wheeljack was rescued by [[Megatron_(Armada)|Megatron]] and swore vengeance against Hot Shot and the Autobots.

When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] received the [[Mini-Con]] distress signal, Hot Shot was one of two soldiers he brought with him to Earth to investigate. He soon scanned the form of an Earth sports car and partnered with the Mini-Con [[Jolt (Armada) (Armada)|Jolt]]. {{storylink|Base}}

When all three Mini-Cons that combine to form the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword were collected, Optimus assigned them to Hot Shot. The Autobot was young, inexperienced, and hotheaded, so the great advantage the Star Saber granted him went straight to his ego. With the sword, he was nearly unbeatable on the battlefield until a Decepticon named [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] taught him the hard way that power without skill was useless against an experienced opponent. Hot Shot's naivety was his downfall. The double-agent [[Sideways]] tricked Hot Shot out of the sword, and Hot Shot was beaten nearly to death by his frustrated opponents. {{storylink|Overmatch}}

[[Image:Hotshotstarsaber.jpg|250px|left|thumb|He loves his Star Saber sword. It's so bad.]]

Wheeljack returned to Hot Shot's life, seeking revenge. The new Autobot recruit [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] was caught up in Wheeljack's vendetta, so Hot Shot protected Side Swipe as best he could, hoping not to repeat his past mistakes. Wheeljack was deterred, but promised he'd be around later to revisit his ill will. {{storylink|Past, Part 1}}

When Optimus Prime sacrificed himself to save Earth, Hot Shot was put in command. Hot Shot declined to take the Matrix of Leadership, which marked the beginning of a very unassertive and indecisive administration. It was also short, as Optimus Prime returned to life after not too long. {{storylink|Remorse}}

The Decepticons managed to take over Cybertron. [[Unicron]], the Chaos Bringer, was looming over their planet, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] (previously Megatron) would not listen to Optimus Prime's pleas to unite their two factions against him. Hot Shot decided to take matters into his own hands and fought his way through the Decepticon base and countless Decepticon warriors to reach Galvatron and reason with him. If it were not for Wheeljack's intervention, he might not have survived. Under the Autobot/Decepticon alliance, Wheeljack's hatred of Hot Shot seemed to soften, and the two learned to trust each other again. {{storylink|Dash (Armada episode)}}

After the destruction of Unicron and the defeat of Galvatron, Optimus Prime felt he had failed as Autobot Leader, and with the end of conflict between the two factions, he exiled himself to parts unknown. Hot Shot and [[Jetfire_(Armada)|Jetfire]] were left in charge of the Transformers. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

====Energon====
:''Voice Actor(s):'' [[Brent Miller]] (US), [[Kōsuke Toriumi]] (Japan)<br>

[[Image:Hotshotenergoncartoon.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Hot Shot always forgets he's not supposed to shoot at the humans.]]

Hot Shot would find himself stationed on Earth as the commander of [[Ocean City]] while Optimus Prime was away training new soldiers on Cybertron. Though he had matured since the threat of Unicron, Hot Shot was still a young soldier with a large mass of responsibility placed on his shoulders.

Hot Shot often clashed with Kicker and Ironhide, the latter seeing Hot Shot as his idol, and was often paired with [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] as his Powerlink partner. It wasn't until the arrival of Hot Shot's former commander and idol, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], that he would question his own allegiances. Not moved by Rodimus' plea to help him to resurrect [[Unicron]], Hot Shot threatened to open fire, only to be struck down by Rodimus. After Rodimus saved Hot Shot's life, he regretted his quick judgment. The relationship between Hot Shot and Rodimus was eventually restored and they become Powerlink partners.

Hot Shot continued to serve under Optimus Prime, surviving many battles on Cybertron and other worlds. Along with several other Autobots, Hot Shot was injured when the reborn Unicron destroyed a fledgling planet in the reformed Q-system. Hot Shot was reformatted into a slick silver body along with his Autobot comrades. He eventually merged his [[spark]] with that of [[Optimus Supreme]] and his partners in the final battle with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]].

====Cybertron====
:''Voice Actor(s):'' [[Kirby Morrow]] (US), [[Daisuke Hirakawa]] (Japan)<br>
:''Special attacks:'' Accel Wing, Double X Shot, Battle Dagger

[[Image:Hotshotcybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px|He knows kung-fu.]]

When [[Unicron]]'s destruction resulted in a black hole that threatened the Transformers' home planet of Cybertron, Optimus Prime ordered the planet to retreat into hiding on Earth. Hot Shot took the form of a blue Earth sports car.

This form came in handy when Optimus reassigned Hot Shot and [[Red_Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] to search for [[Velocitron]]'s [[Cyber Planet Key]]. He quickly developed a competitive bond with [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]], the leader of Velocitron. Against Red Alert's warnings, Hot Shot joined the Great Race. Hot Shot pushed himself beyond his means, almost to the point of destruction, but no matter how he tried, he could never defeat Override. The constant racing took a noticeable toll on his body. Was he really doing this to win the Key or just to prove to himself he was still the fastest in the galaxy?

Hot Shot was in big trouble when Optimus arrived on Velocitron and found out what he was up to. But Optimus Prime changed his mind when he realized that winning the race was the only way to win the Key. With the Autobots' full support and [[Coby]]'s help, Hot Shot won the Great Race and the Cyber Planet Key.

Later, Hot Shot, Red Alert and [[Scattorshot]] faced [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] alone when the Decepticon leader returned to Earth thristing for revenge against the treacherous Starscream. Humiliating the Decepticon in combat, Megatron, enraged, used his new Omega Lock-powered Death Machine Gun on the three Autobots, crippling them beyond repair. {{Storylink|Revelations}}

[[Image:CDHotShot_fists.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Now we know why his shoulders hurt]]

Fortunately, the powers of Primus acting through the [[Omega Lock]] bathed the trio in the creator's holy light, repairing and reformatting the young Autobot into '''Cybertron Defense Hot Shot.''' Along with his newly reformatted friends, the [[Cybertron Defense Team]] arrived on the battlefield and easily defeated the Decepticons Scourge and Megatron. {{Storylink|Critical}}

As Optimus Prime and the other Autobots dealt with Starscream and Megatron's forces, the Cybertron Defense Team was sent on an advance mission to Planet Cybertron. Hot Shot and his fellow team members had to blast their way through a debris field littering the Space Bridge path to Cybertron, during the course of which Hot Shot's vision was obscured by a thick oily substance excreted out of an asteroid as it exploded.

When the unit finally arrived on Cybertron, they were shocked to discover the planet overrun with the parasitic [[Scrapmetal drone]]s, and quickly had to fight their way through legions of the robotic pests. {{Storylink|United}}

Much later on [[Gigantion]] the Cybertron Defense Team was caught in [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]]'s smokescreen, but they managed to figure out the mysterious agent's mind games and defeat him.

After Override resigned from leadership of Velocitron in order to travel to a new world, Hot Shot won the race to determine who would be her successor, despite his bulky new body.

*'''Hot Shot''' (Super-Con, 2002/2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-03'''

: ''Armada'' Hot Shot transforms into a modified yellow Audi TT. He is packaged with [[Mini-Con]] [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]], who, when attached to the [[powerlinx]] port on Hot Shot's rear, deploys his rear axle over the back of his head and (in the same motion) fires a missile from his hubcap. Jolt's gun can either attach to Hot Shot's robot mode chest or unveil "driving claws" from Hot Shot's front bumper by attaching to Hot Shot's car mode hood as his engine. Hot Shot's visor can also flip over his face.

: "Hot Rod," [[Takara]]'s ''Micron Legend'' version of Hot Shot, was released in altered colors, with a more saturated yellow and some dark gray paint in places instead of navy blue. Additionally, more of the belt straps on his chest were painted silver, his pelvis was painted a darker red, and clearer paint on his Autobot symbol. A [[retool]] (or vice versa) of [[Hasbro]]'s Hot Shot, his right arm houses a light-up LED (for accommodating the translucent Star Saber sword) that glows when his side-view mirror is pressed, a feature that was dropped from the American version due to price-point concerns.

*'''Powerlinx Hot Shot''' (Super-Con, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-13'''

: A red, yellow, and black [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of the first Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot has a new head that has a more "serious" look, though his visor, sculpted directly into the new head, is no longer articulated. Intended to be an [[homage]] to ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Hot Rod]], he has a yellow spoiler and flames on his hood. Due to a factory error, his forehead is painted gray instead of left red. The Japanese version, "Hot Rod Super Mode," fixed this forehead mistake, painted the shoulder symbol more clearly, and retained the LED light-up arm the first Japanese version featured.

: Later in the line, a running change granted Powerlinx Hot Shot with a cleaner faction symbol. Rumors circulated that a Powerlinx Hot Shot with fixed forehead paint would surface later in the run, but this did not seem to happen, and no specimens with this fix have ever materialized.

: In November of 2003, US Toys "R" Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys "R" Us' post-Thanksgiving-day sale. Like Powerlinx [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], Powerlinx Hot Shot could come with one of the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] members: [[Dune Runner]], [[Iceberg]] or [[Ransack (Armada)|Ransack]].

: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-02'''

: In ''Energon'', Hot Shot was updated as a modified yellow Aston-Martin Vanquish. He could carry a transparent red spring-loaded missile-launching weapon in either mode, and featured a small Autobot [[spark crystal]] on his chest on which [[Energon chip]]s could be mounted. Like nearly all other Autobots in the ''Energon'' line, he could [[powerlinx]] with like-designed toys to form the top or bottom of a super robot.

: Takara released Hot Shot in similar colors, changing the slate blue plastic to a dark, nearly-black blue, dropping the black paint on his car roof, and adding metallic blue paint to his chest. His head is also a nearly-identical-but-different sculpt, most noticeably around the mouth, chin, and eyes. The reason for this is unknown.

* '''Hot Shot & Inferno''' (Multi-pack, 2003)

: ''Energon'' Energon Hot Shot gave the car mode a silver-painted finish and the robot parts a dark blue, yellow, and red color scheme reminiscent of ''Armada'' Hot Shot's colors. Energon Hot Shot used the Hasbro version of Hot Shot's head (see above).

: When he was released in Japan as "Hot Shot Fire," his car mode was changed to an unpainted silver, and additionally the yellow plastic was changed to a sherbet orange, the dark blue plastic to black, and the transparent orange plastic to a transparent crimson red. He also came packaged with the [[Energon_weapon#Energy_Cutter_.28Signal_Flare.29|Energy Cutter]], a transparent watermelon-red redeco of [[Signal Flare]]'s [[energon weapon]], plus a matching [[energon chip]]. Hot Shot Fire used the Takara version of Hot Shot's head.

*'''Hot Shot''' (Deluxe Class, 2005)

: An homage to ''Generation 1'' Hot Rod in design but not in color scheme, ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot transforms into a modified blue [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_ME_Four-Twelve Chrysler ME Four-Twelve concept car]. He comes with a [[Speed Planet]] [[Cyber Key]] that deploys transparent yellow wings from his spoiler when the key is inserted into the rear of the car. The toy also comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching gun that can be carried in robot mode or pegged into the roof of the car mode.

: The Japanese release, "Exillion," is completely identical other than a slight molding difference; two screws on either side of the spoiler are visible in the American release and all subsequent uses of the mold, but the original Japanese use of the mold had these screws buried. Though the Japanese release was treated as a separate character from Hot Shot, the toy was designed to be the character from ''Armada'' and ''Energon'', as evident by his head design and [[control art]] labeling him as such.

: This mold was used to make Red Exillion (see below) and [[Excellion]].

*'''Hot Shot''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2005/2006)

: A smaller, simplified version of ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot was released as part of the first wave of ''[[Legends of Cybertron]]'' toys.
: This mold was used to make a second Legends of Cybertron Hot Shot (see below) and ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

*'''Cybertron Defense Hot Shot''' (Deluxe Class, 2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-19'''

: Cybertron Defense Hot Shot transforms into a modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1117_Armored_Security_Vehicle M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle], in the same blue, navy, and red colorscheme as the previous ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot. A [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] Cyber Key is included and when the key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers. Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers. Cybertron Defense Hot Shot also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs in vehicle mode, and when in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held, peg into the front of his fist, or be put away in a sheath on his leg.

: "Exigeyser," Cybertron Defense Hot Shot's Japanese counterpart, is completely identical, but also came with a cardboard standup depicting three [[Scrapmetal drone]]s. The American version of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was at some point intended to have a slightly altered deco, which is shown on the back of the packaging, but this altered deco for some reason never superseded the Japanese deco for American release.

[[Image:Redexillion.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Someone had to sell porn to afford this.]]
*'''Red Exillion''' (DVD exclusive, 2005)
:Red Exillion is a redeco of the ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot toy in red, dark red, and orange, with transparent blue. Limited to 500, it came with the first ''Galaxy Force'' DVD and an empty box set to prepare against the next few ''Galaxy Force'' DVD releases. This redeco took advantage of the toy's homage to ''Generation 1'' Hot Rod, completing the homage with appropriate colors, though the toy is still treated as Hot Shot in Hot Rod colors and not as a Hot Rod toy.

:Before the toy saw official release, several advance test shots entered the market, though in a [http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act368/ slightly altered color treatment] than the final. Originally, the dark red was a brighter red.

:This toy was the indirect inspiration for ''Cybertron'' [[Excellion]]. (The direct inspiration, of course, being the original Hot Rod.)

: ''Attacktix ID number'': '''TF09'''

: Part of the first assortment of ''[[Attacktix]]'' Booster Packs, Hot Shot is a "Super Rare" 40-point Warrior-class piece with a spring-loaded "shield-missile" attack. His Special Power "Rally" allows you to return one of your previously-defeated [[Autobot]] pieces back into play. The figure commonly has a black base, but like all Boosters, a rarer chrome-silver-base version was randomly packed into boxes as well.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Hotshotprotocolor.jpg|left|thumb|100px|WhY mY SHoUldErS HuRt?]]

*''Armada'' Hot Shot's toy had to be completely re-engineered close to release. Due to a structural flaw (and gravity), Hot Shot's arms were not able to attach securely to his shoulders. Furthermore, designer [[Aaron Archer]] felt the early design's wide, football player-like physique was inappropriate to the character archetype. Changes were made last-minute to the design to rework the transformation of the arms, necessitating the dropping of some articulation and the addition of [[kibble]] elsewhere to compensate.

[[Image:ArcherSays.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Lay off the [[JaAm]], pal.]]

*''Armada'' Hot Shot's infamous "[[JaAm]]" grin was actually a misinterpretation of Aaron Archer's original concept art which depicted Hot Shot clenching his teeth together in an open-lipped, determined expression. The head of the original tooling had a maniacal, perhaps unhinged-looking smile in response to this concept art, so the grin was scaled back on the final toy. The grin was removed completely and replaced with a neutral, stern expression when the head was resculpted for Powerlinx Hot Shot.

*The rear axle (the "Axelzooka") on the original Hot Shot figure has sculpted shock absorbers in an interesting display of attention to detail. However, they are sculpted 90 degrees in the wrong direction, which would make them useless in reality.

* According to the [[Transformers (Melbourne House)|''Armada'' Playstation 2 game]] instruction booklet, Hot Shot's ''Armada'' body has the following statistics:
:Mass: 3,109 lbs
:Robot height: 16' 5"
:Robot top speed: 50 mph
:Vehicle height: 5' 11"
:Vehicle top speed: 186 mph
:Vehicle power: 400 hp @ 8000 rpm

:''Excellion is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

A brooding loner, '''Excellion''' has won more respect from the [[Decepticon]]s than he has the [[Autobot]]s by successfully infiltrating their base completely unseen on more than one occasion. While the Autobots appreciate his efforts, it's his attitude that has estranged him from his peers. It is unknown if he like JaAm as much as Hot Shot

:''('''Note''': It is unknown if Excellion is from [[Velocitron]] or [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He comes with a Velocitron [[Cyber Planet Key|Key]] and his packaging has the Speed Planet sign, but a great many Transformers in the ''Cybertron'' series have Keys and packaging not of their actual planet of origin. His lack of clear-plastic tires also seems to point to a non-Velocitron origin.)''

His large missile makes him one of the more effective Transformers shooters. Excellion's Special Power ''Sacrifice'' lets you keep him in play by replacing one of your Trooper figures with him.

:Excellion's large base and wide stance make him an excellent defensive figure. He's even harder to shoot down when his missile is in place. The figure has four points of articulation; head, shoulders and waist.

Fight or Flee (episode)

2007-11-12T18:10:32Z

66.96.18.117: /* Continutity errors */ added tidbits, Rodimus blew up the planet so the Decepticons wouldn't get the abundant, near-unlimited ressources of Energon.

{{episodenav|g1|season=3|21|prev=The Big Broadcast of 2006|next=Dweller in the Depths}}

The [[Decepticon]]s conquer [[Paradron]], a world inhabited by pacifistic [[Autobot]]s.

==Detailed synopsis==
In space, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] are persuing [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]. Following him into an astroid field, the two Decepticons are surprised to see the other [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s. In the firefight, Scourge is damaged, so Cyclonus argues that they charge them. However, the Aerialbots form [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], further damaging the Decepticons. Cyclonus spots a vortex and decide to take refugee in it. Flying through it, they find a planet that looks similar to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Golden Age]]. Further analysis is discontinued, however, as they crash hard.

Nursed back to health by the natives, the Decepticons discover that the planet, called Paradron, is inhabited by Autobots. [[Sandstorm]] greets the two Decepticons, explaining their pacifistic ways, but Cyclonus and Scourge get a little too much [[Energon]]...of which the planet has an unlimited supply. Contacting [[Chaar]], they inform [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] of the discovery. Sandstorm calls an assembly, warning the others that Cyclonus and Scourge are dangerous, but they ignore his warnings. However, the Decepticons arrive, and declare the planet a part of the [[Decepticon Empire]]. Naturally, the Paradrons don't agree with that, claiming that the planet is a [[democracy]]. Galvatron shoots the dissenter. Taken to a prison, Sandstorm manages to escape, but [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] follow him. They knock him off a bridge, but Sandstorm flies away, and manages to lose the two Decepticons. Heading for a long abandoned spaceship, Sandstorm manages to power it up and take of, narrowly avoiding [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]].

Making contact with the Autobots, Sandstorm explains that his ancestors left Cybertron during the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|fourth great war]] to escape the violence. The Autobots, knowing that they can't let the Decepticons have Paradron's Energon, head for the planet. By now, the Decepticons have dug in, and are using the Paradrons as slave labor. Detecting their ship, the Decepticons destroy the Autobots, but they actually used the ship as a decoy. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] takes a team to secure the Energon, while [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] takes [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], Sandstorm, and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] to rescue the prisoners. Breaking through the prison defenses, the Autobots present the Paradrons with weapons, but they are reluctant to fight. Sandstorm claims that the forefathers would fight as well. The [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] gives them a simpler choice: fight or flee. Reluctantly, the Paradrons take up arms.

Unfortunately, the Decepticons control over the planet is too firm. Unwilling to let them have the planet, Rodimus orders Ultra Magnus to destroy the Energon core, which would destroy the planet. Sandstorm objects at first, but is okay when he learns that the Paradrons can live on Cybertron. Using escape pods, the Paradrons flee the planet, while Magnus and Sandstorm head for the core. Planting a timed bomb, the two Autobots high tail it out of there. Galvatron sneers at their cowardice, then remember that Magnus is anything but a coward. Realizing that something is wrong, Galvatron orders the Decepticons to abandon the planet.

From space, the Autobots watch the planet explode. Sandstrom remarks that even in death, it's still beautiful. Rodimus callously says that Cybertron is better anyway. [[Primus]] [[wikipedia:Jesus wept#Use as an expletive|wept]].

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
* When the Autobots are meeting on Paradon's moon, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] is seen among the group looking at Rodimus Prime. How the hell did he get better?
* Bruticus is shown as being only a few feet taller than Galvatron.

===Continutity errors===
* Although this episode gives Sandstorm's origin, he first appeared in [[Starscream's Ghost]]. [[To sell toys|Wonder why]]?
* When contacting Chaar, only [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and a [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] are shown, yet the voice that speaks is clearly [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. He even uses Shrapnel's unique repetition of dialogue.
* Bruticus talks like Cyclonus in this episode.
* Brawl is shown helping a Predacon man a large gun at the same time as Bruticus is with Galvatron.
* Sandstorm claims his ancestors left during the fourth great war. According to [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]], the [[Great War|current war]] is the third.
