Editing Team Rodimus (G1)

{{factions|autobot|decepticon}}
:''Team Rodimus is a group from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Team Rodimus''' is the inner circle of friends of, you guessed it, [[Hot Rod/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] that he'll summon when he's in major jam aboard the ''[[Lost Light]]''. Perhaps the most emblematic of the crew's diverse collection of lonely misfits and weirdos, this small band of heroes started off as a one-time investigation crew, but ultimately, the members would come to see just how strong their bonds of family had become.

Team Rodimus was first convened when an armless corpse of Rodimus was discovered in an adrift coffin. Rodimus had summoned [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] the investigator, [[Nautica]] the savant, [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] the theoretician, [[Chromedome (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Chromedome]] the [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]], and [[Brainstorm (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Brainstorm]] the genius (citation needed). The investigation was cut short, as the ''Lost Light'' began disappearing thanks to some temporal shenanigans. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}}

The group's next incarnation featured an expanded roster, including the addition of [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]], [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]], [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]], [[Ten]], [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]]. The group was unofficially convened because [[Getaway]] and [[Atomizer]] had arranged for this certain band of crew members to be evicted from the ''Lost Light'' onto [[Necroworld]], staging a mutiny against Rodimus and Megatron. When the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] and [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]' army of [[Decepticon]]s arrived to kill them all, {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} the gang of outcasts weighed their options. Though Brainstorm tried to convince the crew to flee through the [[Censere|Necrobot]]'s teleport booth, Megatron convinced everyone to stay to protect a newly discovered batch of organics. Team Rodimus got some reinforcements when [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]] and [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] returned, {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 2: The Sun in Flight|The Sun in Flight}} and everyone prepared to face the Decepticons as sunset neared. When Megatron proved unwilling to join the battle and their defenses unable to protect them indefinitely, Rodimus rallied the team to make their last stand. After Skids volunteered to undergo trauma to give everyone a critical power boost, {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} Rodimus brought every member of the team in for a group hug to make it work, and thanked them for going on their adventures with him. Team Rodimus charged the waiting Decepticons {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}}, proving to be a formidable match for the army outside. However, when Skids died, so too did their power boost. The crew was surrounded and seemingly doomed until Megatron personally entered the fray. The gang retreated into the fortress while Megs held off the Decepticons, and watched as he was overwhelmed by [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]] and [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]],{{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} and as the Deception army retreated when Rewind and Swerve fired a psychic attack at Deathsaurus. As the group watched Megatron wipe out the DJD, they found that the organics they thought they were protecting were actually long-lost Cybertronians like [[Roller (IDW)|Roller]] and [[Terminus (G1)|Terminus]]. Megatron was retrieved by Rodimus, and after a big reunion, the gang reflected on their discoveries and their next move. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}
