I'm actually considering X-Brawn.

 

He's the best out of the 3 I've got. Magnus is too big and loose. Prime (can't find where he's hiding still) has to much parts forming. The core bot was pretty solid though

 

  

If I had to recommend three from that line, it would be Scourge, Galvatron and Rail Racer. I know Rail Racer is made up of three bullet trains, but the combined form is just awesome.

 

Hot Rod then travels to the Velocitron of the Unicron Trilogy universe and gets destroyed (literally) by Override and Hot Shot.

Then Megatron steamrolls him.

THEN Hot Rod meets Armada Powerlinx Hot Shot, Side Burn (other colours), Bayverse Hot Rod, and etc. They have a big brawl before G1 Hot Rod forgets that he should be in his universe and should be opening the Matrix.

 

I would like to apologize for no issues recently. I have had family over. I will see if I can get something up soon.

Issue 126

 

So all that was really just to tenderize Hot Rod for Grimlock?

 

...definitely not.  


Yes.

 

• In the '86 movie, Instead of being captured, Hot Rod gets eaten by those Allicons when they don't get their Energon goodies.
• Hot Rod crashes in a race.
• The squid eats him in the '86 movie.
• Trypticon steps on him.
• Rodimus fails to return to the real world in "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4".

And there you have 5 more ways for our little f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶ test subject here!

 

Guys! I found my world's smallest violin.

 

That grimlock fig is so adorable!

 

I agree.

 

It's hammer time!

 

Another way for the rookie to die: the Transformers: Deviations thing.

• The Sharkticons succeed in eating him.

Hot Rod, wanting to escape the torture he faces, travels to the universe we are in, but listens to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" and gets thunderstruck. He then travels to the Monsterverse while King Kong and Godzilla are battling. The little fool gets stepped on numerous times.
