Transformers Legacy Hot Shot Behind the Scenes and In-Hand Look

It’s a good time to be an Armada fan. Mark Maher has given us the usual in-hand look and behind the scenes details for Legacy Hot Shot. This toy appears to have turned out great. The old Armada toy gimmicks are well represented here, and they’re only the beginning of what this toy can do. Read on.

Takara’s legendary Takashi Kunihiro san worked on this awesome Legacy Evolution Armada Hotshot! What a pleasure it was to work with him on this key character from the Armada universe. This toy is so much fun to play with I had to dive in this weekend!
.
Let’s dive into some delicious Hotshot deets. As you can see from the photo’s featured here, the “axelzooka” (tire axle that evolves into a bazooka canon) is blast effect compatible and its his EVO-Fusion capability. The articulation and swivel on the bazooka mount gives you such versatility to display him however you want. If you get bold, you can actually poke out the tire axle out of the c-clip construction and attach it to the double barreled engine blaster to make the bazooka a handheld weapon. Achievement unlocked!!

When you collect the Legacy Evolution Voyager Armada Starscream character you’ll be able to act out and play out some great battlescenes between the two. The more important thing is to give Hotshot his ultimate energized star saber weapon!

This sports car is just straight mean looking, I love it. Wide bodied frame, stealthy fast, low to ground, and even a sweet gunmetal type color tone for the wheels to burn some serious rubber. I would definitely put this dude into the turbo revving young punk category!
.
Also to note, the transparent tinted goggles stay clear with perfect placement for his optics to see out of when positioned down, but we were able to solid coat the rest with some sweet gunmetal paint!

Shout out to my guy @archermonster_creative for working so hard on the Armada universe all those years ago! I hope this guy gets you amped my dood!!
.
The universes are all coming together in the ultimate Legacy Evolution showdown, what characters, what universe, what weapons will you make your team accomplish victory across all the cybertronian realms!

Till next time my bot family!
