Talk:Hot Rod (DOTM)

This page should be deleted, the Rodimus included with the Two-Pack was intended to be Hot Rod as he appeared in Spotlight: Hot Rod.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by SupremeCommander85 (talk • contribs).

It would be awesome if you had any kind of evidence whatsoever to back this up, especially since it doesn't look anything like Hot Rod in Spotlight: Hot Rod. -LV, not logged in

Yeah, considering DOTM Rodimus features a color palette never seen on a Hot Rod/Rodimus before, you better have some evidence to back that claim up. --Detour 10:25, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

This page should exist just like another G1-ish but actually Movie character (Brawl (ROTF)) does. (Unless Hasbro changes it someday.) --TX55^TALK 10:45, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

That's not even the same situation, since Universe and ROTF Brawls are identical, while this DOTM Rodimus sports a brand-new color scheme that's unlike any deco any Hot Rods/Rodimuses have ever sported. --Detour 10:54, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Concept art

Don't know if unused concept art is mainpic worthy. (Carrion)

Aren't several unused WfC/FoC concept images currently being used as mainpics? - SanityOrMadness 18:30, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

I think isn't the more pertinent question: is this art actually intended to be Hot Rod (and not an early Dino or something). I mean, we've seen DOTM Shockwave concepts labelled Blitzwing. Jalaguy 18:45, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

Well, the next page has a Shockwave take labelled as Shockwave, along with a slightly different Hot Rod take and a Galvatron. - SanityOrMadness 18:53, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

We're not making raw concept art the mainpic for the character that doesn't exist outside of being a toy that's not based on that concept art and quite possibly was created without that concept art in consideration. --M Sipher 19:27, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

However, four years later, I am totally down with promoting the FTF picture to mainpic status. It's a lot nicer than the current one and we so rarely have good non-movie/non-concept art shots of movie characters to go up there. -LV (talk) 23:30, 22 August 2017 (EDT)

Title

Permission to change it to Hot Rod (TLK)?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skywarp Prime (talk • contribs).

No. The character had a toy in the Dark of the Moon toyline first, so he's denoted as "DOTM". -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 12:55, 17 June 2019 (EDT)

Hot Rod (TLK) already redirects here. If someone types that in it will bring them here anyways. --Khajidha (talk) 13:40, 17 June 2019 (EDT)

Alright. Skywarp Prime (talk) 15:49, 17 June 2019 (EDT)Skywarp Prime

What about making a page for DOTM Hot Rod and making this one for TLK Hot Rod? They aren't really the same character. Skywarp Prime (talk) 09:27, 8 July 2019 (EDT)Skywarp Prime

No. There's no reason to split them up. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 09:32, 8 July 2019 (EDT)
