    No he isn't, this isn't a retelling of the Generation 1 animated movie, it's something different.

    Who knows, if GM and Ford are retained for the predicted sequel maybe we'll see the Ford GT as Hot Rod! Wishful thinking on my part, at this point...

    Thumbs up for letting me know, its a shame as he is a favourtie of mine however the movie looks really good and i cant wait to see it, ive been looking at some of the collection some of you guys have on here and its amazing. Pity i think ive left it too late to make a collection as big as some of you lot have.

    Hopefully we will see more of our favorites in part 2, if there is a part 2. There should be.

    They already started brainstorming about Part 2.

    Part 1 is ready, just waiting to be released.

    Only he wouldn't be named Hot Rod since Hasbro lost the name due to lack of use.

    So he'd probably be named Rodimus like the Classics toy

    Wouldn't it be funny if Hot Rod/Rodimus showed up and the first thing Optimus Prime said to him was:

    "Stay the Hell away from me!" :lol

    Well, not quite. From what I understand, they haven't done the robot dialog yet, and ILM hasn't finished the CG for all of the scenes.
