'''Hot Shot''' is an Autobot serving under Optimus Prime in the Great War. Young and impetuous, he's always waiting with enthusiasm and confidence for his next mission (so long as he isn't paired with [[Kup (WFC)|Kup]] again). Perhaps he's got something to prove, but any leadership qualities he might possess have yet to show themselves.<br />

Somehow Hot Shot became corrupted by [[Dark Energon]]. Whipped into an uncontrollable frenzy, he drove around atop a dam which the Autobots had rigged for demolition so that the Decepticons wouldn't be able to make use of it. A team of Autobots spotted him and went to help, but he sped around, firing on them. After they defeated him, he calmed down, shrugging off the effects of the Dark Energon and returning to his regular self.<br />
{{Note|Hot Shot is an unlockable character for the Nintendo DS version of ''War for Cybertron''. He can be unlocked by beating "Dam 6" in Arena Mode.}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
*Hot Shot resembles Generation 1 [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], and the concept art done by [[Hasbro]] artist [[Marcelo Matere]] identifies him as Rodimus. According to [[Aaron Archer]] at the [[BotCon 2010]] [[Activision]] panel, the character was named "Hot Shot" due to "Hot Rod" being an [[trademark|unprotectable name]]. Hasbro later revealed that they didn't name him Rodimus because they wanted fans to see how he became Rodimus. {{fact}}<br />
*He is named "Rodimus" in the [[Bumblebee at Tyger Pax|non-canon short story]] written by [[Alex Irvine]], and is also said to be a [[Wrecker]].<br />
