R O D I M U S Allegiance: Autobot Function: Protector and Autobot Leader "Experience is the benchmark of maturity." First Cartoon Appearance: First Comic Appearance: Profile: Rodimus Prime is the mature, transformed persona of Hot Rod. This transformation and simultaneous assumption of the Autobot leadership occurred in Transformers: The Movie, battling both the might of the Decepticons, Galvatron and even UNICRON himself. It is as Rodimus Prime that Hot Rod defeated Unicron and restored order to the galaxy. Rodimus Prime speaks with the savvy of a seasoned veteran. He can be hot-headed at times and he has a tendency to act first and ask questions later. But as the new heir to the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, Rodimus Prime takes his new responsibilities as Autobot Leader very seriously. |

Abilities: He possesses acute military prowess. Rodimus Prime is an expert tactician with exceptional maneuverability in battle. In robot mode, he carries a photon eliminator that shoots high voltage electricity. Range: 500 miles, Speed 200 mph. Weaknesses: As Rodimus would put it, "Having to 'live-up to the legend and the best leader in Autobot history, like Optimus Prime is a difficult burden to bear." Rodimus leadership abilities are exceptional, but he often lacks the confidence and assuredness to put his abilities to the best possible use, questioning and perhaps over-analysing his vision of the Autobt cause. In time he hones his skills and starts to believe in himself more and more. Other than that, his only weakness is his compassion for other living creatures. Other Appearances: It's absolutely amazing to me that Rodimus Prime, successor to Optimus Prime in Transformers: The Movie, has not 'come back' in any other form of the Transformers Universe. He did play a role in the Botcon 2001 exclusive comic, but it was still in his G1 form. Perhaps with a little luck, that is about to change?! |
