![]() The only bright spot is that he reconciles with Drift. Downer Ending: For the quantum duplicate that returns to New Cybertron, he gets one of the saddest endings of any of the crew unable to adjust to post-quest life, he becomes a washed-up drunk who eventually joins Thunderclash’s newest crew in a desperate attempt to recapture the magic of the Lost Light.The paint-scheme is burned off after Rodimus rescues Getaway from burning in the furnace of the Lost Light, showing that he's discarded the vendetta. Issue #6 of Lost Light heavily implies he intends to follow through on it. Rodimus seems to imply the new paintjob represents both, but is distracted before he can actually confirm it. Played with though, as Drift also feels the need to point out that the colours can also mean "a promise to kill", and that Rodimus is planning to kill Getaway upon returning to the Lost Light. He's still the same Rodimus, however, and the colours merely denote grief for a fallen comrade in this case Skids. Dark Is Not Evil: After the events on Necroworld, Rodimus converts to Spectralism and has himself repainted in shades of black, purple, and dark blue.Crucified Hero Shot: The panel of him being rigged to the killswitch, in order to use him and his half of the Matrix to save the ones affected by it.Commander Contrarian: The best way to get Rodimus to not do something is to tell him to, something Rung notes as early as issue 6.The Chosen Zero: No matter what might lie ahead for him, he's still a hilariously impulsive and egotistical jackass.The Chosen One: The Matrix certainly liked him far more than it ever liked Optimus, but beyond that the only one who believes he's chosen is Rodimus himself and Drift, based on a vision of the future he had during his near-death experience in Chaos.Megatron: The way you talk to them… I don't know how you get away with it. The Charmer: Oozes charisma that lets him get away with making bad decisions and treating people poorly.Character Development: He starts out in the comic way in over his head however events like Overlord and Getaway's mutiny force him to grow up immensely and in the end he still has some childishness to him but he acts like the leader he wanted to aka: He is not Hot Rod, He "is" Rodimus Prime.Catchphrase: Till all are one! Lampshaded to hell and back by the other crew members, and, at one point, weaponized.He has shown great skill as a warrior and leader, but generally does not take his responsibilities seriously and is content to just delegate to Drift or Ultra Magnus - and later Megatron. Book Dumb: Rodimus is not an idiot, but his grasp of science is non-existent, to the point that Perceptor has to take several tries to dumb down his explanations for Rodimus to understand it, and even then Rodimus still labels most advanced science "magic".Even Minimus saying "We can't let him get away" is enough for Rodimus to abandon Megatron Always Someone Better: He's ragingly jealous of Thunderclash, who is all the things Rodimus wishes he was.The Atoner: Decides to become one after "Remain In Light", when he reveals to Magnus/Minimus that he let Prowl and Drift talk him into letting Overlord onboard.Hot Rod thought they had all died that day, and blamed himself due to prioritizing obtaining the Magnificence, musing to himself how at least on his own, he was only responsible for his own life. ![]() "Spotlight: Hot Rod" explained that he did have a team once, but all but one of them were slaughtered on Ki-Aleta, the last one, Dealer, being taken prisoner by the Decepticons. The Aloner: For a time before "All Hail Megatron", Rodimus had a reputation for being a lone wolf, always doing solo work and acting like a daredevil.It's all but said it's due to him being out of practice for so long, as he was a better leader for his team on Ki-Aleta, but became a lone wolf after they were killed, and remained as such up until the events of "All Hail Megatron". ![]() Also, he's perfectly willing to make certain members do things that could seriously injure or kill them just to make things easier, like repeatedly making Chromedome inject, despite Rewind's objections. A Father to His Men: He'd like to be one, but he lacks the maturity even now and his idea of good advice leaves something to be desired.He believes that the Knights Of Cybertron will lead Cybertron into the future and made the choice to follow the Matrix Map and find them. Despite his skill and high rank he's rather immature and rarely bothers planning ahead, much to the consternation of his crew. ![]() And I want all of you to come with me.The reckless, charismatic, and adventurous captain of the Lost Light. They were known as they Knights of Cybertron. ![]()
