Talk:Space Opera Part 1: The Stars My Destination

Does anybody else get a "Wheelie: Wild Boy of Quintesson" feel about Wheelie's design in this issue? Probably the necklace made of teeth like he has in that story. Also, can we really call Rodimus a Prime here? Sure he has the matrix but I don't think its right to be calling him Rodimus Prime until its mentioned in the story. Swindle gave him the name Rodimus Prime earlier and he referred to himself as Rodimus Prime when he saw Ultra Magnus, but it seems to have been dropped. 95.148.9.71 12:06, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

If both he and Swindle referred to him as "Rodimus Prime" then it has already been "mentioned in the story" so I don't know what you think we should be waiting on. --Khajidha 12:27, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

Something more solid than just a passing nickname that was only used once given to him by a Decepticon. He calls himself "Rodimus" here. Even with the matrix on his chest (not in his chest), he's still just plain old Hot Rod now called Rodimus. He's no Prime in the traditional sense of the terminology even in the IDW verse. No enhanced abilities, no physical mutations, no nothing! Anybody could start calling themselves a Prime but it doesn't make it so and neither has it stuck when Rodimus did. Even the Story So Far just calls him Rodimus, not Rodimus Prime. Which is why I say he would have to use the name Rodimus Prime again in the story to actually be known as Rodimus Prime. We're jumping the gun here. 95.148.9.71 13:20, 25 May 2011 (EDT)
