I say stick with Hot Rod as well. Rodimus Prime dont fit "that turbo riding punk" as he was called in the beginning of Transformers The Movie. Let him be a youngster and let him have fun.

 

Just my two cents.

I think the team idea is a great one, it would be nice to have seperate groups off doing other things in the background. I think it would just be nice to have multiple story lines going on in the cartoon, but I guess we dont want to make the kiddies think to much.

Well it also makes sence that there are different teams of Autobots...I mean Ironhide was just trying out for Prime's unit. There ARE other autots after all...I mean Tidalwave has to Devestate someone!

Youre right about the semi not fitting the "turbo revving young punk' thing. And the idea of multiple teams in action simultaneously only makes sense. The kiddies have to think too much? Too bad! All they see is 'big talking robot', 'rocket go boom' and 'pretty colors' anyway. It can be made to appeal to different audiences on different levels.

Hey yall this in, Rodimus is something of importance in the Energon line, he might be second in commander noting that no one said JetFire is. They have found a Gold version of Grand Convoy and a Silver version of Rodimus. At the end of Rodimus in truck mode there is a hitch to pull something, what is the purpose for it? You never know Rodimus Prime might have a come back. Hot Rod is way better that Hot Shot! :tfgrin

I think Landmine can hook onto the back of Rodimus

Kids are a lot smarter than you give them credit for.

well on the rodimus's card it says his rank is 8 just like hotshot. but jetfires is 9.
