    No... here's more like a lovechild of Bumblebee... and ROTF Dead-End.

    Hey! Maybe he's a vampire!

    Glad I'm not the only person who sees this. Although I can't wait for the concept art to be released to see what could have been.

    I usually like most of the Autobot Movie designs, but not a fan of this design at all, in this case, give me a bot that's more G1 Roddy.

    I agree, at least in part. I don't have a problem with the body. I just am not much of a fan of the face. I think a more Crosshairs-looking face would work better for Hot Rod. Still, what matters to me is how he is depicted as a character rather than his physical appearance.

    Basically a head that is simply a movie-fied energon rodimus design woulda been an improvement.

    I am kind of afraid that from his face design he will be mute, too. Hopefully not, though. I do like the colours of him and the placement of the wheels, but otherwise I feel like the design is kind of lacking. Crosshairs, Hound and Drift just have so much more going on than he does.

    *gasp* YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh man I was hoping for Hot Rod/Rodimus, I even wrote down that I would like to see him in the wish topic and now it came true! I can barely contain my excitement to the point I feel like Hazekiah right now! Because of the Joblo link, I had almost given up all hope of seeing my 2nd favorite Autobot. This also means I might have been right when I guessed that Hot Rod could be the last knight!

    That's it, that settles it! Good, bad, or meh, I am going to see this movie in theaters! Hot Rod will be worth it for me. Now I just need to somehow contain this excitement till 2017.

    Wait... you're actually excited for this? No matter his design?

    ... excuse me as i stand up and clap my hands. No, really. This is great to see that sort of reaction.

    Thanks and yeah I don't mind his design, I'm just happy for his inclusion since it had been something I was dying to see. I won't judge him till I see him in action in the movie but even then I'll still be happy to see him featured.

    If you zoom in, he does have a mouth.

    So, "Hot Rod" has a very similar color scheme to Drift. Makes me wonder if this is an official red herring and this guy is someone completely different. I could honestly see Bay and company pulling something like that, since so many fans devour every little morsel he puts up on social media.

    This looks more like Stinger with a dark paint scheme, instead of the shiny red paint. His face is also more insect like, much like Bee's. I can just see the scene in the movie where he's introduced as Bee's brother, or hell, maybe Bee going Bumblemus Prime. :eek:

    Seeing as how they imply he's a brother in arms to Bee, I'm gong to say yes. I think Bees movie will be more personal with Bee and his unit of 4 or so. And I can see Hot Rod being part of that unit. I'd love to see these 2 together and bring back Swipe and add Prowl for Bees unit.
