- Hot Shot is an Autobot from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Hot Shot is an Autobot under the command of Rodimus Prime. He is a young, inexperienced bot who lives for speed. His quick motion has led him to strive to live life in the fast lane. This usually lands him right in the middle of a battle, carelessly acting without thinking. As a pyromaniac pyrotechnician, his arms can convert into welding torches specialized for construction and repair. But, when duty calls, these tools also come in handy for barbecuing a bunch of no-good Decepti-creeps. Hot Shot transforms into a sports car.

- Voice actor: Bill Fagerbakke (English), ??? (German)
At Megatron's orders, Decepticons from hidden corners of the galaxy attacked Autobot Space Bridge terminals. One such terminal was guarded by Rodimus Prime's team, which included Hot Shot. The terminal was under attack from Decepticons led by Strika, and despite Hot Shot's attempts to use his flamethrowers to vaporize her shots, one connected with his leg. He called for Red Alert, and after examining his busted leg, she told him it'd have to be amputated, but there was no need to worry! A new one would be delivered in 6-8 solar cycles. She ignored his pleas for a second opinion. TransWarped
