- The Rodpod is a starship from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A testament to Rodimus' massive ego, the Rodpod is a large submersible/spacecraft in the likeness of Roddy himself. It serves as one of the shuttlecraft of the Lost Light as well as an embarrassment to everyone but Rodimus himself.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Under attack by hordes of Ammonites on the planet Hydrophenia, Ultra Magnus, Ratchet, Perceptor, Brainstorm, Skids, Getaway and Whirl decided to take the fight to the enemy in the Rodpod, against the captain's explicit standing orders. Realising that the Stentarians were trying to take out the Lost Light's fuel quills and cripple the ship, the crew of the Rodpod managed to get their attention but when a large number of Ammonites combined into one gigantic creature they were forced to flee the battle, taking refuge in an abyss... An abyss that turned out to be Metroplex's empty eye socket. Into the Abyss
Probing deeper into the Titan's head, the crew of the Rodpod observed that his brain had been surgically removed, and decided to head towards Metroplex's spark in his chest instead. Whirl noted that there was a dry-dock ahead and that Metroplex's chest cavity was still watertight, so they parked the Rodpod and continued on foot, following a series of hand-painted arrows through the Titan's interior... which led them on a circuitous path straight back to the Rodpod. Frustrated, Whirl attacked the pod only for it to begin ticking—while they had been away an Ammonite had booby-trapped the Rodpod with explosives, and now appeared with the detonator to utterly destroy it. No Exit Fortunately, the crew avoided sharing the Rodpod's fate thanks to Metroplex putting a few bulkheads between them and the explosion. The Dead Are Not Enough
With the Dark Cybertron crisis over, the crew of the Lost Light constructed a brand new Rodpod for Rodimus to celebrate the next phase in their quest for the Knights of Cybertron. A delighted Rodimus showed it off to an unimpressed Ratchet before musing that it was a bad time to be reminded that people are actually pretty decent.
Later, the Rodpod was among the shuttles evacuating the rapidly vanishing Lost Light, carrying aboard it most of the ship's bridge officers. Predestination: A Beginner's Guide
