Identification Assistance

[TheDirtyDigger]

Identification assistance humbly requested here.

First thing is a part I assumed to be a knock off but I'm sorta looking at it and seeing Prime there. This same part also has two heads. One larger and funkier than the Prime lookalike.



Picked up this 'bot today from my brother. I figure it might be a Playskool one but am not sure. It has a working light which is turned on at the back.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can't help with the first one, but could safely say that it isn't a Transformers toy, despite the Optimus head being a bit misleading. The second one would have to be a KO of Armada Hot Shot. The official colours were yellow or maroon.

Thanks Griffin!

Thought it looked like Hotshot just from the Macca's version I have of him.
Did the real Hotshot have a working red light in him as well?
Definitely not some obscure variant??

The Japanese version of Armada Hot Shot (Hot Rod) had a working LED so that it could illuminate the Star Sabre when he wielded it. Pretty much worked like the G2 Laser Rods.

But yeah, those are KOs.

I used to have that red thing. The legs were white/blue/yellow and turned into some kind of tank-tracked vehicle. I didn't have the middle part.

Big help, I know.
