Fiction

Regeneration One

Hot Rod was being chased through the underground tunnels of Cybertron by horrific creatures who were screaming after him "CREEE-AAAYYY-TORRR". After jumping a gorge, he found himself in a secret room containing the Sword of Primus and the Covenant of Primus. Natural Selection, Part Three As the Demons drew closer, Hot Rod began to suspect that he was supposed to choose between the Covenant or the Sword. He chose the Covenant in order to gain answers as to what was happening. After being taken on a tour through history by the Covenant, showing Primus' creating the Demons, then subsequently destroying most of them when they developed free will and began destroying each other. Hot Rod realized that Primus intended for him to finish off the Demons that had escaped Primus. He picked up the Sword, and turned to engage a Demon that had burst into the room... Natural Selection, Part Four But decided to spare the creatures, concluding that Primus' decision to wipe them out was wrong. He took both the Sword and the Covenant, and proceeded to exit the tunnels, with all of the Demons parting for him to pass and kneeling in fear before him as his wounds inflicted by them miraculously healed. Natural Selection, Part Five

The Sword of Primus would not be called upon again until Hot Rod had become Rodimus Prime and succeeded in bringing down the Hub Network of Jhiaxus. Returning to a dead Cybertron inhabited by shadow-leeches, Rodimus called for Jetfire to retrieve the Sword for him, as conventional weapons had little effect against the leeches. He would later take the Sword with him to Zero Space to confront the Dark Matrix creature that was responsible. In order to stop the creature from spreading across the multiverse, Rodimus used the Sword to close the cracks in Zero Space and seal off his universe from the rest of the multiverse.

Toys

Generations

"And then it's like, sparkle, sparkle, dolphin, sparkle. I get these shoes that are, like, better than my normal shoes. There's probably another dolphin."
Following in the pattern of Siege and Earthrise, 2021's Commander Class toy is War for Cybertron: Kingdom Rodimus Prime. He transforms from a "G1" show-accurate robot to a less accurate, futuristic sports car, which can attach to a trailer to form his futuristic truck mode. Despite appearances, Rodimus Prime is not a retool of Studio Series 86-04 Hot Rod, and though they feature similar transformation steps, the key difference is the lack of a faux chest. A War for Cybertron Trilogy staple, Rodimus Prime and the trailer are littered with 5 mm ports to facilitate the C.O.M.B.A.T. System or F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology. The line's relative scale demands that he must be smaller than previous Commander Class toys, though making up for his price tag is above average engineering and articulation, including posable hands with a separate index finger!
The price is also filled out with a multitude of accessories. The trailer itself can fold out into the Mobile Defense Bay, which Rodimus Prime can stand on and grasp the handles, plus an A.I.R. Lock System adapter on the front. The standing, twin-barreled cannon also detaches as its own unit, with sculpted tread detail. Rodimus Prime also includes a foldable Photon Eliminator, the Matrix of Leadership, and a surprisingly-niche inclusion, the Sword of Primus, which has a fold-out 5 mm post. He also includes a whopping ten effect parts, two of which are translucent blue redecos from Siege Omega Supreme, which can attach to the various 5 mm ports on the figure or the 3 mm posts at the tips of the Photon Eliminator and exhaust pipes.
In a unique twist, the toy was revealed by TakaraTomy and set for pre-order in Japanese markets before Hasbro, which usually unveils upcoming toys before or simultaneously with TakaraTomy.
Much like most of the toyline, Rodimus Prime can come with one of four holographic Golden Disk cards for his wave, which reveals a possible destiny of a key character.
