Team Rodimus is the self-given nickname of a team of Autobot Resistance Force that makes up the first half of the main cast of Transformers Loud. A subset of the main Autobot forces, as their name suggests, they are led by Rodimus, and is made up of Autobots from the city of Nyon and The Loud Family, making their home in the crashed ship they came to Earth in.

## History

### Rebellion

#### To the Stars

When Magnus put the call out for all Autobot forces to evacuate Cybertron, Rodimus's team volunteered to help capture the targeted ship depot. There, the team helped their fellow freedom fighters hold off the Destron guards & oncoming reinforcements as the rest boarded the ships and fled the planet. Out of desperation, the team fled inside of a *Vanguard*-class Deep Space Interceptor and made their way to the stars.

### Season 1

After twenty Earth years flying through space, Team Rodimus's trek through space came to an abrupt end when they were intercepted by a Destron Scout Ship while they were passing through the Solar System. After a brief scuffle between ships, the Ark's engines were heavily damaged, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing on the third planet of the system.

## Notes

Admittedly, the team is meant to act a lot more like the Ninja Turtles than they do the soldiers the Autobots are usually presented as (both in-universe and in a meta sense), with them acting like a gang of friends that spend about as much - if not more - time eating pizza & playing video games as they do fighting Destrons. This is mainly to make them a found family sort that sees each other as family that prefer to live life by their own rules; something akin to the Greasers from *the Outsiders*. This even reaches a point to where they're meant to be the Cybertronian equivalent to late teens, with their Holo-Avatars being made to resemble sixteen, seventeen and eighteen year old young men.

While the main cast does include some of the more famous Autobots from the original toyline's first year, this series aims to make its core group of Bots a mix between them, the often less focused on Autobot Cars from the 1985 range/Season 2, and of course the main cast of the movie & Season 3.

Rodimus leading a team using his name is actually a pretty common name in official media, as it was used both in Energon (which is where the team's "radical" insignia comes from), Team Athenia in Animated, and of course his time as captain (later co-captain) of the Lost Light in the IDW comics.
