Hot Rod's shuttle

Badly-armed and under-powered, Hot Rod's shuttle is a poor choice of ship for an escape from a hostile region of space.

Marvel The Transformers comics
Hot Rod and Blurr were on a scouting mission for Fortress Maximus when they ran afoul of the Tyroxians. Hot Rod managed to escape in a shuttle, but it was seriously outclassed by the two Tyroxian space transports they sent after him. Fortunately for the young Autobot, Kup was nearby in his ship and he overcame his combat fatigue to shoot down the two larger craft. At this point, Hot Rod's shuttle began to break up so Kup beamed him aboard.
