That's the way Team Dai-Gurren rolls!

Team Rodimus is a group of likeminded Autobots who left Cybertron 8000 eons ago. Under Rodimus's leadership, the bulk of the team created a new home world on the planet Omnitron. The remaining members continued to search for lost Transformers and aided other races in need of help.

Team Rodimus also has their own ship, colored after their leader and equipped with warping capabilities and stylish team flags.

Its members include:

All we do is battle and nothing happens. Fighting all the time has left Cybertron in ruins. If this continues, we'll have no future. Let's leave and create a better world! Join me! Let's find a place that we can call home! Yes, we'll never look back!{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Rodimus's historical speech as recited by Ironhide to Kicker"The Legend of Rodimus"|Rodimus's historical speech as recited by Ironhide to Kicker{{#if:"The Legend of Rodimus"|, "The Legend of Rodimus"|}}|}}

Fiction

Energon cartoon

On Cybertron, Team Rodimus was led by the great military commander, Rodimus during the war against the Decepticons. Becoming disillusioned with the endless war, he rallied a group of likeminded Autobots to his cause and travelled across the galaxy, righting wrongs and defending the innocent. For this, their stories were held dear to the youth of Cybertron and Rodimus's great speech would be recited in Cybertronian schools. The Legend of Rodimus Most of Rodimus's crew chose a peaceful life of mining energon on a new home planet, eventually coming under the leadership of Arcee, while Rodimus, Prowl, and Landmine continued to wander the galaxy. Survival Instincts

During their travels, the trio arrived on Planet Q and made contact with the rulers; Alpha Quintesson and Scorponok. They eventually left, with Rodimus promising that they would return if the planet was threatened.

Sure enough, during the time they were gone, Unicron attempted to devour Planet Q. While Alpha Quintesson fretfully waited for Rodimus to return, Scorponok enacted a desperate plan to blow up their world in order to injure the chaos bringer. The planet was destroyed, leaving Alpha Q as the sole survivor, sealed deep within Unicron. By the time Rodimus arrived, all that was left was a field of small asteroids. Alpha Q: Identity

What's scale?

Team Rodimus re-entered the Autobot/Decepticon conflict around the year 2020, when they prevented Scorponok from stealing a cache of energon on Mars. The Legend of Rodimus Following this, they learned that Scorponok was in fact the resurrected chamberlain of Planet Q, and decided to atone for failing to save Alpha Q in the past by helping him in the present. Rightfully so, Alpha Q did not readily trust the trio. Go for Unicron!

Later, Team Rodimus appeared on the Moon, watching over a battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime. Rodimus ordered his troops not to get directly involved in the skirmish, but they had no choice when Demolishor and Cyclonus tried to kidnap the energon-sensitive youth, Kicker Jones. From a concealed location, the trio blasted at Cyclonus, forcing him to veer off and avoid grabbing Kicker. The warriors three vanished before Kicker could figure out where the shots came from, and who saved him. Kicker Beware! Rodimus subsequently revealed himself to Optimus Prime's crew when Megatron sent three comets to destroy Earth. Rodimus, commanding a large fleet of Blackout Terrorcons, was successfully able to destroy one of the comets, leaving the others to detonate on the energon grid. Energon Grid

Seeking allies for the restoration of Planet Q, Rodimus contacted Hot Shot and called him to a secret meeting at the ruins of Mars City. Rodimus attempted to recruit both Hot Shot and Kicker for his mission, but both turned down his offer due to Rodimus's refusal to reveal important information. Rodimus Friend or Foe? Rodimus later came upon Scorponok after the latter was sent towards Earth's energon grid, bait in a trap to ensnare Alpha Q. Though his subordinates warned him that the bound Terrorcon was clearly part of a trap, Rodimus refused to leave Scorponok behind. Rodimus's crew turned out to be correct, and they fought against Megatron's soldiers, eventually driving them back, and securing Scorponok's release. Go for Unicron!

Shortly thereafter, Rodimus made contact with Optimus Prime's crew. Rodimus explained that Unicron could be used to create life, and restore Alpha Q's lost homeworld. As such, it would behoove Optimus to allow Unicron to be restored, and instead focus on destroying Megatron. Optimus refused, and so Rodimus departed in frustration. As Rodimus left, Ironhide stowed away on his ship; Rodimus decided to let him tag along for a while to test his mettle. Rodimus advised Alpha Q that Ironhide could be useful to them, and was proven right after the rookie managed to destroy a large number of Terrorcons and hold his own against Scorponok. A Tale of Two Heros

At Ironhide's request, Rodimus brought Kicker and Misha to meet Alpha Q Battle Stations and told them about the destruction of Planet Q. Alpha Q: Identity Following the revelation of Planet Q's destruction and the recent revival of Unicron under Megatron's control, Team Rodimus reintegrated into the Autobots. Shockblast: Rampage
