Article Breakdown

Described as a covert agent

Hot Rod has secretly been serving as Hopkins daughter characters protector in the guise of her father’s 1963 Citroën DS.

It’s a rickety old car, but she can’t part with it because she adores it

Working in secret for Anthony Hopkins character. So presumably no connection to autobot team.

Currently no voice actor attached, production looking for a forensic accent.

Fans claim hot rod had voice in fan event screening but may be re recorded prior to films release.
