Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The {{nihongo|'''Hot Rod'''|ホットロッド|Hotto Roddo}} is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Hot Rods are Heartless resembling cartoonish cars that appeared in the [[Timeless River]].
 
Hot Rods attack with their tires until a good fraction of their HP is depleted.  Afterwards, they go berserk and attempt to repeatedly and rapidly mow down [[Sora]] (while paying little attention to [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]]).  A Hot Rod is invincible to all physical attacks while charging, except for a few seconds after every third charge.  However, it is vulnerable to magic, especially [[Thunder]] and [[Reflect]] magic.


==Design==
==Design==
The Hot Rod resembles a cartoonish version of a real-world car. Its body is primarily blue, and its roof is sky blue with a bent, navy blue antenna on its top. Its four black tires are set rather close together and have grey hubcaps, and its fenders are silver. The silver grill of the car acts as the Heartless's sharp-toothed mouth. It also has two headlights with yellow tips that act as its "eyes", though it has actual, glowing yellow eyes set in its black windshield. Its Heartless emblem is actually its hood ornament. Like all Heartless, it takes on a monochromatic coloration in the [[Timeless River]].

Like all Heartless, it takes on a monochromatic coloration in the [[Timeless River]].  


In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the Hot Rod's body, roof, and antenna are all black, its fender, underside, and headlights are white, and its tires are dark grey with white hubcaps. This makes it strongly resemble its form in the Timeless River, the only difference being that its Heartless emblem is still in color.

A "hot rod" is a car modified to run faster, particularly pre-1960s models. This references the Hot Rod's resemblance to a car, its tendency to damage opponents by driving at high speeds, as well as the early 1900s theme of the Timeless River, the only world it normally appears in.

Hot Rods attack with their tires until 50% of their HP is depleted. Afterwards, they go berserk and attempt to repeatedly and rapidly mow down [[Sora]] with their '''Flip-Dash''' attack, paying little attention to [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]]. Hot Rods are invincible to all physical attacks while charging, except for [[Counterguard]]. In all cases, immediately [[Guard]] when it attacks, then follow with Counterguard to stagger it. Alternatively, it is vulnerable to magic, especially [[Thunder]] and [[Reflect]] magic.
Hot Rods are very fast and powerful Heartless. When half of its HP bar is depleted, a purple aura will appear around it. When this happens, watch out! It will rev up and rush towards you, and if you're in the way, it will send you flying. It does this rush attack thrice, and pauses for a while before it begins rushing towards you once again.
{{Atk-o|KH2}}
 
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Bite'''|かみつき|<br>Kamitsuki}}|Physical|—|x1.5|O|Bites forward with its mouth.}}
In all cases, when it attacks you, immediately [[Guard]]. When the Hot Rod rushes at you, a well-timed Guard or [[High Jump]] can save you from being sent flying. When it pauses, it is open for an attack, so finish it off.
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''One-Two Punch'''|ワンツーパンチ|<br>Wantsū Panchi}}|Physical|—|Right: x1.5<br>Left: x0.5|O|Punches with its right and left front wheels in succession.}}
 
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Flip-Dash'''|フリップダッシュ|<br>Furippu Dasshu}}|Physical|—|x1.0<br>Hit 2+: x0.25|△|Charges three times at extreme speeds.|Guards against physical attacks during this attack.}}
Alternatively, if you're the type to use magic, use [[Reflect|Reflega]], and make sure that the edges of that spell hit the Heartless - but, time it well.
{{Atk-c}}
 
===Attacks===
*'''Bite''': Mouth-grill bites forward
*'''One-Two Punch''': Two quick punches
*'''Flip Dash''': 3 quick charges while taking no weapon damage during attack
