Fiction

[edit]

Universe comic

[edit]

In Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta (a highly Primax-influenced universe), Hot Spot was born from Dr. Brian Jones's attempts at reverse-engineering Maximus combiner technology and applying it to Mini-Con anatomy. Superion, Defensor, and Rail Racer fought Devastator in the Combiner Wars during the Unicron Singularity crisis. At some point, Hot Spot and his team were abducted by Unicron.

Hot Spot was one of the many Transformers held in the Cauldron, the death-pit deep within the shattered remains of Unicron. He and the other Protectobots formed Defensor when Trailbreaker and Silverbolt released the prisoners, making a break for freedom. Escape

  • Hot Spot (MicroMaster Protectobot, 2004)
  • Series: I
  • Accessories: Defensor left fist, rifle
Part of the first series of KB Toys exclusive Universe MicroMasters, Hot Spot is a nearly identical release of the Micromaster version of Neo-Wheel, transforming into a Lamborghini Diablo. He can attach to the combiner kibble to form the chest, back, or any limb of any combination of compatible Micromaster robots, but not very well; he's the least awkward in his nominal placement as Defensor's right arm (and is really only compatible with the Defensor fists).
The larger connector socket is approximately 5 mm wide, making Hot Spot compatible with Powerlinx ports. Since it's a separate piece on a hinge, it's also the only one of the entire Six-team series that doesn't leave the MicroMaster sticking out at an awkward angle when used as such.
