Hawkeye Prime

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)

Aww, but I'm too cool to rust!

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

Notes

• Rodimus shares his Generation 1 counterpart's original voice actor, Judd Nelson.
• 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 that may or may not be him, Rodimus's fate has never been revealed fictionally.
