Wow Rodimus looks really cool :tfgrin . I can't wait to see his toy he looks awsome!

When you say "he's going to be a ninja" and "he's going to be Robo-Hood" you're essentially pegging the character down to a cliche.

And, again, the franchise has certainly been free of cliche personality types so far, so it sucks that Animated is going that way.

I'm all for remembering the past fondly, but I would also like to see some of the :wtf aspects left alone.

Rodimus as Robo Hood could go one of two ways in Animated.

If he goes the way of Jazz it'll be fine. Jazz is a ninja, but the ninja aspect doesn't define who the character is (as in, other then his weapon of choice and fighting style, he posses none of the cliched ninja character traits).

If Rody goes the way of Prowl, then he'll end up lame, IMO. Prowl's characterization isn't really anything more then I'M A NINJA, to the point where it interfered with the story at one point.

 

So he'll either make it work or come off as a Mary Sue. It's 50/50 at this point. We'll see.

Maybe there'll be an episode where they go to the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya and chat with Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings Abdul Fakkadi

 

Is it just me, or does it look like Strika is about to

FIRE HER LAZAH!!!!

:lol totally does.

Glad some body thinks it beside me :win

Gaaah. Now I can't get the mental image of Rodimus singing the Men in Tights song out of my head.

 

Strika with buns and too much lipstick is great though.
