Trivia
- The name and flame design is a reference to American cars with large engines, also called Template:W, which stereotypically sport a fiery paintjob.
- The Hotrod flips down over the Engineer's face when he is holding a building's blueprints or hauling a building.[1]
- Additionally, a Spy disguised as an Engineer who is wearing a Hotrod will have the hat flip down over his face upon switching to the Electro Sapper. This can be used to detect Spies.
- Hot Rod is also the title of a 1979 movie in which Grant Goodeve, the Engineer's voice actor, starred.
- The Engineer is seen using a welding mask in the teaser video for the Engineer Update, though it is not the Hotrod. The Hotrod, however, can be seen sticking out of a tool chest at the very beginning of the video, above the Engineer's acoustic guitar.
