- Black Rodimus is a Decepticon turned Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
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!
Toys
Generation 1
- Black Rodimus (Autobot, 2001)
- Japanese ID number: C-78B
- A redeco of the Autobot Hot Rod toy in blacks and grays, Black Rodimus transforms into a futuristic/Cybertronic race car. Though his plasics and paint colors changed, his decals were the same as the normal Hot Rod release. It is noteworthy that the hood and door stickers, factory-applied on other versions of the Hot Rod mold, were not preapplied to Black Rodimus, instead being included on a separate sticker sheet. He could only be purchased with the "Crystal Rodimus" version of Hot Rod through Takara.
