Hot Wheels

So hot, they're cool.

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.

There are two versions of the Ford Mustang GT. The first, sporting the number "984" and the "to punish and enslave..." slogan, was recalled after a short window of time. The second version, sporting the number "643" and no slogan, has since replaced it as the standard release of the car.

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.
