Hot Machines, is the name of a free sticker book and respective collection of 152 stickers featuring conceptual and futuristic art of muscle cars, motorcycles, personal watercrafts, aircrafts and spaceships, released in 1994 in Portugal by the now defunct, Amadora-based publishing company Ulifer - Produções de Publicidade, Lda..
Like in many Portuguese collections of stickers released at the time by Ulifer - Produções de Publicidade, Lda. and by other Portuguese publishing companies, it gave collectors an opportunity to win a variety of prizes, which could be earned in three different ways; by looking in packets of stickers for the special sticker dubbed "Ouro" (Gold), to instantly win a Sega Mega Drive console and for the special sticker dubbed "Prata" (Silver) to win a Sega Game Gear console or by looking for special tickets which could be exchanged for footballs, skateboards, school supplies and pocket calendar collections.
Collectors could also participate in a drawing contest, by mailing their own "Hot Machines" drawings (which could not be blatant copies of any of the paintigs featured in the stickers of the "Hot Machines" collection) to Ulifer, which would be evaluated based on the originality, creativity and technics used by the contestants by a jury composed of professional artists, with the first classified winning a Yamaha TZR 50 motorcycle, the second classified winning a Yamaha DT50LC motorcycle and the third classified winning a Yamaha BWs scooter.
