Starriors
Hotshot is a Protector Wastor equipped with a duo-laser. His right hand is a claw and his left hand is a double laser.
Protectors are programmed to rebuild civilization so that structures, facilities, and ecologies would be established and ready for use upon man's return. Wastors are a humanoid series of Starrior, roughly the same height as an adult human, though somewhat bulkier.
Hotshot is depicted riding Windstorm on the Vultor's box art.
Note: The Starriors series is considered a parallel universe in the Transformers series. In the Transformers universe several Autobots named Hot Shot, but they are seemingly unrelated to the Starrior.
