Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels are a brand of scale model cars produced by Mattel. Although long seen as rivals to Hasbro in the toy industry, in 2023, the two companies entered into a partnership to produce co-branded toys and games based on each other's respective intellectual properties. Among these will be several Transformers-themed Hot Wheels toys.

After a short production run, the Ford Mustang GT was recalled and removed from later shipments of the Hot Wheels Transformers set. Its presence was also omitted from the back of the other vehicles' packagings with a blank sticker.

Notes

• The Generation 2 Go-Bots and the Robots in Disguise Spychangers were designed to be compatible with Hot Wheels (and then-rival Matchbox) 1:64 scale racetracks and playsets.
• Beast Wars Megatron's season 1 T. rex model was recycled for the Mainframe Entertainment produced movie Hot Wheels: World Race as a rock statue.
