i was cracking a joke. i love rodimus prime and hotrod in the move so much im redoing them both.in hotrods definse he save autobot city and most in it from sertain doom. as hot rod had the balls to fight gavy , as rodimus is the only cat that can beat gavy in a straight head to head match.the thing is i dont think he ever wanted to be the leader,it was pushed on him so in that department he dose take a back seat to prime. despite that ,the dude is pretty heroic and gutsy.

if i was prime i would of bust that fool off the top, minus the dioluge.his mouth got him shot up.he walk over to his gun and walked back,and start talking for GOD sakes he cut you and stabbed you go figure . primes fight my ass he killed ratchet,brawn and ironhide this everbody fight

 

i kne you were joking man. no worries. and i do agree he never wanted the leadership role. but i believe given his situation and his options he knew he made the right one.

yeah and i do agree Prime definitely needed to keep his mouth shut on the whole "sterner stuff" thing. i mean i love Optimus dont get me wrong and that line was completely badass but i definitely like Rodimus better. Judd Nelson for the WIN! lol

 

the movie he's a win, the cartoon made him look like a winey stress case. he had potincial.the cartoon writers , and the movie writers wasnt on the same page.the cartoon highlighted his strugle with a leadership role(which is not in his tech specs as either idividual) ,the movie his rashness and fools hardy bravier that got the matrix back and turned him to the rodimus prime.the cartoon was about everybody else and romdimus's inablity to lead. his tech specs sujest he's a more muturer individual as rodimus a veteran in fact. the cartoon rail roaded him assianated his character to bring prime back and turned him to a target master.if prime wouldnt have died so early in the movie, and had defeated meg, to have him came back as gavy, theeeen kill optimus. hot rod gets the matrix slaps gavy around blows up unicron then people loves him.
