| The name or term "Rodimus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Rodimus (disambiguation). |
- Rodimus Prime is an Autobot from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Rodimus Prime is more than just a high ranking Autobot officer, he's the "Chosen One"! He is extremely popular amongst his fellow Autobot brethren, and has mastered several different battle skills, including servo-to-servo combat. While he has mastered the use of various defensive weaponry, his personal weapon of choice is his uniquely-designed energy bow. Rodimus is a born leader and strives to become the next Magnus. In other words, he's "practically perfect in every way".
Fiction
Animated cartoon
- Voice actor: Judd Nelson (English)
Rodimus Prime and his team, Red Alert, Hot Shot, Brawn, and Ironhide, defended space bridge 687-030 from Team Chaar. Rodimus ordered Brawn and Ironhide to fall back so they could protect the bridge, but a combo attack from Oil Slick and Cyclonus took down both Autobots. Rodimus managed to evade Spittor's tentacle-attack and incapacitate the monster, but he was quickly knocked aside by Blackout's power-stomp attack.
As the Decepticons moved in, Rodimus defiantly growled that they'd have to go through him. In response, Oil Slick threw a vial of Cosmic Rust at Rodimus' feet, which quickly spread across his body and paralyzed him. TransWarped
Toys
Animated
- Rodimus Minor (Deluxe, 2009?)
- Accessories: "Energy Bow", 2 missiles
- Rodimus Minor transforms into a futuristic car that highly homages the vehicle mode of Generation 1 Hot Rod. A panel on the car's hood, which is also the figure's chest, can be flipped to either show an engine block or the figure's Autobot insignia. The figure comes with an Energy Bow, capable of firing two missiles.
Notes
- Rodimus shares his Generation 1 counterpart's original voice actor, Judd Nelson.
- This Rodimus is the second to be a leader without Optimus having to die first.
- In an answer to a question at TFCon 2009, Derrick Wyatt stated that Rodimus is recovering from the Cosmic Rust attack. Aside from a very brief cameo[1] that may or may not be him, Rodimus's fate has never been revealed fictionally.
- Originally, Rodimus was going to be the jerk character of Animated. This means his team is roughly 60% scrapped ideas, although 40% of those are because of the live-action movie.
- Despite being credited by the show's creators[2] as having the Prime rank and clearly being the leader of a team like another bloke, his toy is listed as 'Rodimus Minor' for reasons currently unknown, though likely in order to protect the trademark "prime" by not using it too much.
