Notes
[edit]- Daniel Arseneault is to Hot Rod what David Willis is to Hot Shot, and Randy Para (and Thew Adams!) are to Skywarp. Doubt not the colossal quantity of his collection.
- Outside of Hot Rod, his other favourite characters in the franchise include Nitro Convoy, Road King, Shockwave, Brawn, Pointblank and just about anything Beast Wars.
- His first Transformers figure was the original Generation One Blaster.
- Derrick J. Wyatt put a bit of Daniel's likeness into the Animated Rodimus Prime design, most specifically the popped collar.
- He also currently hosts the Transformers Slag podcast and also co-hosts The Toy Armada with Aaron Archer, who he is also the handler for at numerous TFCon appearances.
- His imitation of a British accent is one of the funniest things you've ever heard.
