Fiction
[edit]Marvel The Transformers comics
[edit]In robot mode Hot Rod carried two photon lasers, which temporarily electromagnetized an enemy robot's microcircuits. Hot Rod's Universe profile
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
[edit]Hot Rod was armed with two photon laser pistols in robot mode. Hot Rod's More than Meets the Eye profile
Toys
[edit]The Transformers
[edit]
- Hot Rod (Autobot Car, 1986)
- Accessories: 2 photon lasers
- The Transformers Hot Rod's came with two gray weapons, identified as photon lasers in his instructions and packaging bio. One could be mounted on the engine block in vehicle mode, or both could be held in robot mode. Unlike almost every other Transformers toy that came with two of the same weapon, Hot Rod's photon lasers were not identical nor even symmetrical—unusually, each one had its own mold and detailing.
- This toy has been redecoed and reissued a number of times since its first release; see Hot Rod (G1)/toys for more information.
- Sideswipe with Vanguard (Action Master, 1991)
- Accessories: photon laser
- Released only in European and Australian markets the year after The Transformers ended in the US, Action Master Sideswipe came with a gray weapon, identified as a photon laser in his packaging bio, as well as his partner-unit Vanguard.
Masterpiece
[edit]
- Rodimus Convoy (Masterpiece, 2011)
- Accessories: trailer/Mobile Defense Bay, photon eliminator/photon lasers alpha & beta, Matrix of Leadership, buzzsaw, welding torch
- TakaraTomy's Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy came with two black weapons, for the first time individually identified as "photon laser alpha" and "photon laser beta", which can combine and extend through a spring-loaded automorph-style process into Rodimus Prime's larger photon eliminator. The guns can store within his trailer, and mount on any one of six different ports in Mobile Defense Bay mode for additional firepower. Like the original Hot Rod toy, a single photon laser can mount on the vehicle mode's engine block.
- In addition to the Hasbro version, this figure was also redecoed into Black Rodimus Convoy.
- Accessories: buzzsaw, visor, fishing rod, two guns
- Masterpiece Hot Rodimus came with two gray photon lasers, as identified in his bio.
