Rodimus Prime

* Main form
* Alt-form
* Alt-form with body

Rodimus Prime, aka Hot Rod, is currently the former supreme leader of the Autobots after Star Saber took over, but is still a bearer of the Matrix of Leadership himself.

## Personality

Brash and headstrong, with an overwhelming self-confidence that borders on arrogance. Kup has assumed the role of mentor and advisor to the impetuous young Hot Rod, offering him wisdom and advice when he needs it (though Hot Rod rarely feels that he does, much to Kup's annoyance). Arcee also serves as a calming influence on Hot Rod, and tends to either worry about him when he is not around, or deride and tease him when he is. Their relationship is antagonistic, but friendly. Exactly how deep Hot Rod's feelings for Arcee might run is unknown.

Rodimus Prime persona—while still headstrong and stubborn—seems to suffer from a severe lack of confidence, often doubting his own decisions and expressing distress over his position as an Autobot leader. Of course, much of this comes from comparisons with his former commander Optimus Prime—and let's face it, shoes-to-be-filled just don't *get* much bigger than that.

One thing that both sides of this Autobot's identity have in common is their impatience—neither Hot Rod nor Rodimus Prime can stand to wait around when they could be doing something instead. He is also very self-reliant, rarely sending others to do anything when he could be doing it himself.

## Story

He was one of the survivors of the Great Ancient War. When he was rescued by Optimus with a rescue squad, he willingly stood up for the service, in the name of protecting the earth.

Hot Rod served in the Autobot City garrison under the command of Ultra Magnus. His official duties did not burden him too much, and he willingly spent time with his earthly friend, 12-year-old Danny Witwicky. At one point, his city was attacked by the Decepticons, who managed to capture the Autobot ship. They understood that they needed to hurry to the city, but fortunately there were already their allies of the Autobots in the form of Skopedog with Chirico, several Precures and their "Artillery" - KoRyuOh/RyuKoOh. For this reason, there was enough time for the reinforcements to be able to make it before morning, and even avoid the death of Optimus. However, these events were still affected, as Megatron, after his defeat, turned into Galvatron due to the intervention of Unicron.

At one point, when Optimus lost the Matrix of Leadership, the Patron took full responsibility and in the last battle with Unicron reveals the Matrix of Leadership, which after the destruction of the matrix is lost. But still, thanks to this, he becomes Rodimus Prime.

When it was time to return to Cybertron, it was also discovered that Cybertron had been taken over by the Decepticons. There the decisive battle began. And then, due to time travel, 2 timelines appear, where in the first Optimus dies, and Rodimus flies into space due to the call of Cybertron, and after some time wakes up on Earth, where for the first time he sees Gundams with his own eyes.

In the second timeline, due to human intervention, Cybertron does not explode, as the deactivation of the bomb and Galvatron's subsequent death was successful, but this leads to a "The War for Throne", in which 3 candidates begin to participate in the war for the new title of Emperor of the Decepticons.

## Abbilities

An unremarkable Autobot that can turn into cars, to which the body is attached like a truck. So he owns the usual weapons for any Autobot.

### Unfolding the Matrix of Leadership

However, unlike other Primes, he can unlock her true potential. Thanks to him, he was able to destroy Unicron (from his dimension). This time, when the Matrix was returned to him, he can use it as many times as he wants and still not lose it.

## Trivia

He was one of those who first took himself to the study of the body, to create the Gundams, and later the Knightmares.
