The Hotrod is a community-created headwear item for the Engineer. It is a gray Template:W with team-colored flame patterns. When the Engineer is holding a building's blueprints or hauling a building, the Hotrod flips down over his face.[1]
The hat description was written by Shapechanger for the Hat Describing Contest.
