Do we have a pitcure of Black Rodimus with his stickers on? Because I dont' think this is a fair depiction of him without them. -Derik 00:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

He only came with normal Hot Rod's stickers. As such, I don't think anybody has ever applied them, nor do I think we can call them "his stickers." --ItsWalky 01:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
...you mean the stickers his boxart, the only visual representation of the character, shows adorning his frame? -Derik 01:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
The toy comes with grayscale versions of Hot Rod's stickers? --ItsWalky 01:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
The fact that they went out of their way to remove his factory stickers strongly implies to me that he isn't supposed to have any, because they're Hot Rod's normal stickers and they look terrible on him. That's why I haven't stickered mine, and believe me, I am a man who enjoys stickering his Transformers. -LV 01:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Um, the card, being part of the box, is entierly in grayscale, just like Crystal Rodimus's card is done in just blue ink, and Tigertrack's in yellow --FortMax 03:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Right. I was being as painfully literal as Derik was. --ItsWalky 03:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I find being painfully literal often gets me better answers- such as LV's note about factory-applied stickers being absent.
Perhaps I should have been clearer in my "I am challenging the assumptiont hat Black Rodimus is suppsoed to be naked, is there any reason beyond 'the stickers look bad on him' to support this?" LV tells me 'Yes.'
(The presence of the sticker-sheet probably would have been mroe of a red-flagg if I'd owned the original hot rod toy.)
This of course makes me wonder if the 'naked' state represents his destron-allied appearance, and the sticker-applied state is how he looked after he joined the Autobots... -Derik 04:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
