Targetmaster Hot Rod's packaging originally contained the erroneous blurb "Firebolt transforms into Misfire's weapon!" This was fixed by a running change in two steps: First Misfire's name was covered with a sticker that contained the correct name "Hot Rod" later shipments then came in boxes that had the correct name printed on them. Amusingly enough, Targetmaster Hot Rod's "Firepower" stat is 7, which is actually lower than regular Hot Rod's firepower stat of 10.

As the original large stickers applied to Hot Rod's thighs were frequently scraped away by the friction of moving his legs up and down during transformation, the Targetmaster version sported smaller decals that avoided this problem. The toy was retooled to have larger pegholes in his fists and his engine block so the Targetmaster gun would fit. Hot Rod was re-released with his new Nebulan Targetmaster partner Firebolt a year after the original release. ![]() Accessories: Firebolt Targetmaster partner.In 2007, hood-cannons will become a standard feature. ![]()
