Fiction
Henkei! Henkei! pack-in comic
Hot Rod was dug up from the ground, stuck in stasis lock, by the Minibots, just before the buried body of Dinobot was also discovered. As Hot Rod slowly gained consciousness, Dinobot began to attack the others, until finally Hot Rod (and his Micron, Jolt) faced Dinobot in battle. As Hot Rod performed stylish moves, Dinobot suggested the two battle for leadership. However, Hot Rod declined Dinobot's offer and suggested instead they team up and make peace.
Hot Rod returned with Dinobot to Autobot headquarters, where Grimlock quickly ruined Hot Rod's plan by suggesting they play at battle with each other. Henkei! Henkei! (pack-in comic)

- Henkei! Henkei! Hot Rod is a redeco of Universe Hot Shot, using chrome for his exposed engine block. Unlike the Hasbro version which sticks relatively close to the original Hot Shot's color scheme, Takara's version switches the desaturated blue plastic used for the forearms and feet with black plastic. The Henkei version appears to retain the missile launchers dropped from the Hasbro release.
