The Hot Rods are a gang based out of The Hub, a settlement built out of Baltimare's downtown Ministry District. Based on the Atom Cats from Fallout 4, they're an altruistic group of gear heads and grease monkeys who use their skills to supe up power armor, which they use to defend their settlement.

They are led by Washout, a former Enclave Wonderbolt cadet with an anarchist spirit, who fled to the surface in the wake of the Lightbringer's deeds.

Second in command is Peepers, a former resident of Stable 2 who briefly served as a scribe for Applejack's Rangers, but left when his poor eyesight kept him from being a knight.

Third is Snowmelt, who has walked the life of raider and slaver, but turned a new leaf, now putting her own life at risk to save others instead of the other way around.

Fourth is Muffler, a former bandit tribal who turned on his chief when they crossed a line, choosing to help the Hot Rods protect a caravan from a robbery turned slaughter.
