I can't recall as a kid being upset at Hot Rod for Prime's death. I mean, he was just trying to help. We can all identify with that. And, it's really hard to, "Get out of the way" when Megatron has you in a headlock. I more blamed Hasbro and their need to sell new toys for the death of Optimus Prime. Lets be real, eh? :P
Hot Rod had good intentions to be honest, but yet you can tell it was so obviously scripted to make him a distraction.. If Hot Rod was a real character with common sense, he would have blasted the gun into pieces with his forearm blasters, thereby alerting Prime to the situation, who most probably would have ended it once and for all.
That would have distracted Optimus, causing nothing to change, Hot Rod was low on Energon so he couldn't have shot the gun out of Megatron's hands, and when Megatron was holding Hit Rod, Optimus could have easily shot Megatron
Late here, but this is what happened: The weight of the Matrix weighed down the arms, and the clip was reversed to seem like Hotrod was raising his arms.
*Hot Rod didn't get Optimus killed.* Before Hot Rod came in, Megatron had the element of surprise. Optimus Prime had so much time to fire (when he said, "Out of the way, Hot Rod") _because_ Hot Rod intervened; Optimus would not have had that time to aim if Megatron fully capitalized on his element of surprise.
Devil May Clarify it’s the truth. We have intelligent life here. Hot Rod is being framed. Optimus Prime got himself killed along with 15 of the OG autobots are dead under Optimus Prime command. No one complains about Optimus Prime poor leadership. And Rodimus Prime was a better leader because he got better results in his 7 yrs of leadership compared to Optimus Prime 8 million years of leadership. Not to mention after his return to leadership after Optimus Prime resurrection he got half the autobot fleet dead after the 3 part story of “Rebirth.”
Already trashed it in my Starscream review: ruclips.net/video/VOGDPvzcMhg/видео.html I would rather not think about Michael Bay's "Hot Rod" ever again.
I know a 2 year old Jobby comment section isn’t the place for an essay but, I love Hot Rod. To me he is what it feels like to grow up (at least in the 1986 movie) you suddenly reach an age where you feel grown up, but then you make some pretty big mistakes and start feeling like you aren’t good enough, but if you have the right people in your life you find your path and begin to grow for real. At least that’s how I feel.
Truth is, Transformers are my favorite kind of toys to collect. I just have a Godzilla icon cus it was the first review I did. Also I thought my drawing was funny so there ya go. But more Godzilla and Figma reviews are part of my current Patreon goal if you're interested: www.patreon.com/JobbytheHong
I kinda relate to Jobby because I'm kinda interested in collecting toys and not watch the tv shows or movies. Lost interest in the Gundam anime but I still love the mechs and their designs so I collect the models.
bumblebee was said to he dead at that moment when Optimus gave away the matrix... and it wasnt ment for hot rod, it was ment for Ultra Magnus but since hotrod grabbed it first it was transferred to him
Update now that I own one (the KO but w/e). If you have issues with his shoulders being set too wide, I recommend pushing in his side fenders *after* his shoulders are locked in. They won't lock in anymore, but that hinge is tight enough to sit on top of them without moving, and it greatly improves his upper torso proportions and edges him closer to his line art. There *can* be a clearance issue if you aren't careful with the arms, but I don't think it's kid-glove worthy of an issue. Also, he *is* slightly undersized...simply to allow him to fit inside MP-10's trailer. Yes. That's the actual reason.
Hello, a guy from the future here, this video really made me realize how the new studio series 86 Hot rod truly is a nerfed down/ upgraded in some ways version of the masterpiece. It has pretty much all the same accessories and features!
That would be a waste of like, $70. Just because you don' like a character, doesn't mean you should get an expensive toy of them, and destroy it. Especially if it's a good toy.
i've never grew up with transformers (if you count that my dad fucking loves them and haves a descent collection) but this channel has shown me how cool these are and how much of a masochist you have to be for this
This was my first Master piece figure, Solid 9, No paint chipping so far and I've had him for over 2 years, his accesseries are good, Love the fold down Visor, main issue is the tail fin, It gets loose over time, but to be fair I used him a lot (Also, the matrix that came with mine was molded in opisite colors then painted over, and Paint HAS chipped away from mine)[also, why is mine the only one that came with a matrix? mine was plastic, but still a nice one)
After what, getting shot and becoming leader by the chance of being found by the time travelling Aerialbots? Optimus didn't earn it so much as he got it for getting grievously injured and then rebuilt into the first Autobot built for war by the guy who had been keeping the Matrix safe for so long(of course War Dawn was before the concept of the Matrix of Leadership, but that was retconned in Season 3). Hot Rod put up way more of an effort against Galvatron than just jumping at him, actually knocking Galvatron over and landing a few shots before getting nearly strangled, and was subsequently rewarded for getting the Matrix of Leadership back from Galvatron.
The prime matrix causes massive depression. Optimus tried to sacrifice himself constantly. Rodimus tried to pass the matrix off.
WHY HAS NO ONE ELSE NOTICED THIS?!
1. Prime did it because he would trade his life for a rats (or star scream)
2. Rodimus what to get rid of the weight of being a leader.
jacko channel I know but this is the Internet someone was going to take it seriously.
