A brooding loner from the planet Velocitron, '''Excellion''' has actually 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.

With any luck, his new mentor [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] can whip him into shape.

==Fiction==
===The Dark Heart of Sandokan===
Following the war with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], Excellion stepped up to join the Autobots and fell under [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]]'s command on board the ''[[Star Arrow]]''. During a space mission when they were transporting a valuable [[Force Chip]], the ''Star Arrow'' was shot down above the planet [[Sandokan]]. While searching for the means of repairing their ship, Excellion and the Autobots were attacked by [[Synthos]], the deranged creature who had brought their ship down. They managed to retreat to a cave where they set up camp to repair their injuries and signal for rescue. Unfortunately, things were never that simple. The Decepticon mercenary known as [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] arrived on Synthos, searching for their Force Chip and the [[Dark Heart of Sandokan|Dark Heart]] that powered Synthos. Excellion kept watch over their injured comrades [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] and [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] while Override and [[Swerve (Cybertron)|Swerve]] confronted the Decepticon. He was caught unawares by Astrotrain's [[Mini-Con]] partners, however, and lost the Force Chip to the mercenaries.

The Autobots raced after Astrotrain, and caught up with the Decepticon during a skirmish between him and Synthos. Astrotrain attempted to overpower the creature by using the Force Chip, but was fighting a losing battle. Synthos got possession of the Force Chip and nearly became unstoppable as he tried to add its power to his own Dark Heart. Luckily, Excellion and Blurr managed to fend off the creature and reclaim the Force Chip before any of their enemies could. In an ironic twist, the Autobots were then saved by the arrival of the space pirate [[Cannonball (Cybertron)|Cannonball]], Astrotrain's employer. As the Decepticons occupied themselves with the threat of Synthos, Excellion and the Autobots snuck aboard Cannonball's shuttle and assumed control of the vessel. With the Force Chip safely tucked away, they began their journey back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Dark Heart of Sandokan}}

**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile, Velocitron style Cyber Key

: Excellion is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Hot Shot]], now cast in red and orange with translucent blue, transforming into a modified [[Wikipedia:Chrysler ME Four-Twelve|Chrysler ME 412]].

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.

: Part of the first series of ''Transformers [[Attacktix]]'' Boosters, Excellion is a redeco of the Hot Shot piece (of course). 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.

*'''Excellion vs. Thundercracker''' (Multipack, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile, Velocitron style Cyber Key

: During [[Christmas]]time 2007, [[Walmart]] got several exclusive double-packs of ''Cybertron'' Deluxes sold under the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' banner. For this series, Excellion came packaged with [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Both toys are identical to their original releases.

==Notes==
[[Image:LOCExcellion.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He's both Hot Shot and Not Shot in one convenient package!]]
* Excellion is an homage to [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] based on a Japanese DVD-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyDVD|''Galaxy Force'' Exillion]] (the Japanese version of the original ''Cybertron'' Deluxe Hot Shot toy), which uses a similar overall color scheme but has a number of deco differences and was released in limited numbers. He uses the ''Galaxy Force'' name for Hot Shot with a slight change in spelling from Ex'''i'''llion to Ex'''ce'''llion.
* A redeco of [[Legends Class|Legends of Cybertron]] Hot Shot uses Excellion's approximate coloration and paint scheme; however, the toy is not actually labeled "Excellion," merely "Hot Shot." The reason for this is unclear.
