— The Engineer on his welding
|
” |
The Hotrod is a community-created cosmetic item for the Engineer. It is a gray welding helmet with team-colored flame patterns. When the Engineer is holding a blueprint of a building or hauling a building, the Hotrod flips down over his face.[1]
The item's description was written by Shapechanger for the Hat Describing Contest.

Bugs
- A Spy disguised as an Engineer who is wearing a Hotrod will have the hat flip down over his face upon switching to any kind of Sapper. This is due to the fact that Sappers count as buildables.
Trivia
- The name and flame design are a reference to custom-built American cars with large engines, also called hot rods, which stereotypically sport a fiery paint job.
- Hot rodding is also a technique of cutting plate steel, rather than welding, with regular stick welding equipment. To a much lesser extent, hot rod can also refer to the welding rod or to a person who welds.
