Black Rodimus is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity.
A dark clone of Hot Rod built by Megatron, Black Rodimus was convinced from his creation that he was the real Hot Rod. He is physically Hot Rod's equal, but lacked the Autobot's honor, respect for life and reverence for Optimus Prime. He was driven to destroy what he thought was the fake Hot Rod, and forcibly take the Matrix from Optimus.
However, an encounter with Hot Rod in a crystal-lined cave changed all that. Through a burst of energy, Black Rodimus became aware of the truth of his creation. To atone for his actions, he has joined the Autobots, and fights against the very robot who made him!
