76.202.14.218: /* Rodimus or Hot Shot? */ new section

David Willis cry!? Protoman is crying! Why is my Rodimus given yet another NAME. Good lord, I even brought this up at the Botcon 2010 Activision Panel. [[User:Protoman|Protoman]] 00:02, 12 July 2010 (EDT)
:I imagine this occurred after some sort of metaphorical marketing car crash of not wanting to use "Rodimus" for some reason but not being able to use Hot Rod. Or some other marketing related reason they currently cannot tell us. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 04:16, 12 July 2010 (EDT)
::I was thinking that they were going with Hot Rod and Hot Shot being dimensional counterparts, but then I remembered [[Rodimus (Energon)|this guy]]. --[[Special:Contributions/199.90.28.195|199.90.28.195]] 07:46, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

== Name? ==

He's called Hot Shot in the game, but apparently he's Rodimus in Exodus. Since Exodus was released before WfC, should this page be moved to Rodimus (Prime)? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 20:36, 28 July 2010 (EDT)
:They were both released on the same day. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 20:50, 28 July 2010 (EDT)
::Well... then I guess it falls into a debate of what's more notable. The DS game or the Exodus novel. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 20:57, 28 July 2010 (EDT)
:::I'd vote for Rodimus, personally. It was his name in Exodus, AND it was his originally intended name in War for Cybertron. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 21:08, 28 July 2010 (EDT)
::::I'd go for Rodimus, with the caveat that we change back to Hot Shot if toys or significant future fiction use it. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 21:11, 28 July 2010 (EDT)
:::::I'm for Rodimus too. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 22:14, 28 July 2010 (EDT)

Rodimus (Prime) is an awesome article name. Not as awesome as [[Moon (moon)]], but... --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:22, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
:'''I know'''. In fact it's half the reason I wanted a move. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 01:56, 29 July 2010 (EDT)

What on Cybertron? Rodimus is '''not'' mentioned in ''Exodus'', only the non-canon ''Bumblebee at Tyger Pax''. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 04:56, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
:Well someone added storylinks to Exodus (and not just an anon or something either). I haven't read it myself, nor do I plan to since I hear it's pretty bleh. I just hope Prime makes use of Rodimus in some capacity so we can move this page ASAP. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:06, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
::Oh, it was [[User:Michaelbayblows]]. Not exactly the most trustworthy in appearance. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 20:28, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
In the Prime universe, ItsWalky and Protoman are the same person. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:17, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
:Rodimus (Prime) that's awesome but then again the story is non-canon. -- [[User:CountFrankenBot|CountFrankenBot]] 06:38, 31 July 2010 (EDT)

==Hot Shots==
So with the likelihood that the Prime Hot Shot toy is a new UT-style Hot Shot and not a Rodimus-style toy, do we start a new page for Hot Shot (Prime)? Or do we figger they could still be the same guy, given differences in style between the games and the television show. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:32, 21 January 2012 (EST)
:I'd go with the latter. The "styles change between video game and cartoon" thing is quite prominent with a lot of characters. Heck, WFC Hot Shot and Prime Hot Shot probably have more in common with one another than Soundwave's different versions do. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 16:41, 21 January 2012 (EST)
::I think we should at least wait till we get a bio for the Prime Hot Shot toy. Though, really, I wouldn't expect an homage to UT Hot Shot to act all that different from an homage to G1 Hot Rod, since both were typical action-seeking youngster types who got into trouble and acted like kid appeal bots anyway. So, it could be another "radically-different new body" case like Breakdown. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 16:46, 21 January 2012 (EST)

== Rodimus or Hot Shot? ==

Many feel that since Rodimus got a bio for the Transformers Hall of Fame which usually includes the Aligned continuity we could consider Hot Shot a totally different character. Is there any truth to this?
