Autobot Hot Zone?!? W T F ?? Seriously... that's got to be the height of absolutely unfocussed inattention from Hasbro there! Again, WTF?!
So... apparently they've lost the rights to the name Hot Spot... but rather than calling it "Autobot Hot Spot" they've called it "Autobot Hot Zone"??? (o_O) But WAIT - one of the Universe Micromasters (from reissue Sixturbo) is called HOT SPOT, so apparently they haven't lost the rights to the Hot Spot name at all!!
Silverstreak and Ironhide look nice enough. Though I wish they would've called Silverstreak "Autobot Bluestreak." But I can live with Silverstreak (it actually makes more sense cos he's not blue... it's just the GeeWunner in me who'd like "Autobot Bluestreak.")

That third picture of Ironhide is horrendous. If you are going to do official promotional shots, make sure the hired cameraman doesn't transform the toys and get one of the engineers to actually provide separate already transformed figures. The alt mode as well is a right royal mess of seams. I thought Animated Ratchet had an awful alt mode but this one beats it in fugliness. Perhaps it will be better aligned when the final product arrives.
It seems the Allspark blue paint has made its way to Ironhide as well.
The other recolours were quick - good on ya Hasbro. You do love repaints. But I do understand thats how they originally were in G1.
Where did you get "Hot Zone" from?
Edit: Never mind I worked it out, for some reason I thought you meant a new full size toy. Yeah its annoying since they do appear to own the name.
Maybe Archer likes Hot Zone better than Hot Spot because just like Wheeljack sounds 'evil' then Hot Spot to him sounds rude?
Can't wait to get these!
The air dams and the head are too much sunstreaker to me.
And yea, I'm only getting the henkei versions of any of these.
Hot spot Gok? That would be the legends leaders pack one would it?
