Hot Shot interviews Kup.
Synopsis
[edit]Hot Shot introduces his guests to Hot Shot's Bot Thoughts, where he'll be interviewing Transformers from across the multiverse. His first guest is the Kup of "Primax yadda-yadda Zeta"; the old Autobot is under the impression that he's helping Hot Shot with a school report, and so is somewhat perturbed when he mentions he's second in command of Optimus Prime's forces at the front lines. Breezing past this, Hot Shot asks what he thinks of the name, ignoring his attempt to answer, bringing up the alternative name Hot Shot's Jam Sessions, and ignoring Kup's constructive criticism. Hot Shot proceeds to point out that Kup is old, and that his vehicle mode's headlight eyes are weird. Kup asks him how he sees in car mode, and if he even knows how his car mode works; Hot Shot responds that one time he discovered he had driving claws he never knew he had before. Hot Shot ends the interview there; annoyed, Kup claims that he didn't even learn anything. Hot Shot responds that "we" learned that Kup is old and has googly eyes; Kup questions who "we" is, and Hot Shot introduces him to his Mini-Con, Jolt.

Transformers references
[edit]- Kup's home universe is never specified per se, but the mention of his alt-mode's "headlight eyes" places him as being from the Big Looker Storybooks continuity, where Earl Norem gave Transformers emoting eyes in their headlights.
- Hot Shot's second title idea, Hot Shot's Jam Sessions, comes from the infamous Armada - The REAL Story comic-a re-lettered version of the first Armada pack-in mini-comic, where, among other things, Hot Shot declared his love for "jaAm".
- Hot Shot brings up the time he discovered he had driving claws, from previously mentioned Armada mini-comic.
