  • Does anybody know what kind of car that Rodimus Prime transform into ?

  • Rodimus Prime never could live up to the standard Optimus Prime initially presented as leader of the Autobots. It was great that they brought back Optimus because most folks recognizes him as the true leader of the Autobots. Rodimus was good TEMPORARILY, but if I think of the leader of the Autobots, I AUTOMATICALLY think of Optimus Prime.

  • Rodimus Prime rocks. Some people focus on his failings, but it was because of those failings that he was such a compelling character. Optimus Prime was okay, but he was too perfect. A lot of episodes in seasons one and two had some calamity befall him, so he wouldn't go around trouncing the 'Cons with ease.

  • What I meant was it was hinted that optimus started the same way as rodimus in series 3 but we never saw it and eventually became a great leader, just like rodimus could've done if the writers didn't change his damn attitude from leader to no hoper in between episodes.

  • cntd: galvatron in the series when he left him pretty damaged rodimus said sod it and kicked the crap out of galvatron.

    For anyone that thinks hotrod killed prime, in the comic prime was alone and had his chance to kill megatron, megatron still got the gun and fired first, hotrod only got to the scene when prime fell down and blamed himself for not getting there in time, if hasbro put this in instead I bet hotrod wouldn't have been as hated but as prime said one will stand one will fall.

  • @wesker100000000 i cant believe my words, man! the comics are ''the way it shud be'' of the series.

  • I'm a rodimus and optimus prime fan and a lot of people didn't get that optimus started similarly to rodimus in the series ie didn't want to be the leader, had his doubts, others helped him out, I prefered rodimus in the film and it sucked that he didn't get his chance in the series ie when he finally realised the matrix needs him and how important he was to the autobots he turned it around then next episode the writers pissed that away and dropped his character development he almost killed

  • @wesker100000000

    i understand your points and they are valid, but i agree with bringing back optimus. a lot of ppl argue that rodimus was not given a fair chance, and he had potentiel. but thats all in the writing, wheelie could have been the best leader of all time if the writers decided to go that way. as a child i was pissed optimus was dead and i didn't like the series as much with rodimus. as an adult i realize that the show would have gone on and been just fine.

  • hey rodimus prime fanboys, heres good news, Rodimus is one of the most popular transformers ever next to optimus and megatron, no matter what you write in google images, g1 optimus prime, g1 ironhide. g1 prowl, anything with g1 on it, rodimus will appear in one of these photos! cool huh?

  • i watched this when i was a kid i loved this tribute

  • Comment removed

  • they bring optimus back because there was a lot of pussies that were criying because they beloved leader was dead-

    RODIMUS PRIME RULESSSSSSSS

  • Rodimus was probably my favorite from the classic series, and he hardly had a chance to shine. Everyone, Rodimus included, kept viewing Optimus as the perfect leader & totally overlooked his mistakes (remember the KremZeek episode?), and didn't give Rodimus a chance to learn from his. One of my favorite episodes was when Rodimus decided to quit until he accepted his destiny. They should have brought back Optimus, but as an advisor and let Rodimus stay as leader. Arise again, Rodimus Prime!

  • @scarfman4 Im with on your opinion of Rodimus Prime. he kicks ass

  • @scarfman4 Totally agree! at least someone understand our point

  • I never did like Rodimus, but one thing that realy did annoy me (I went from Season 3 to Headmasters) is that once I did grow to like him and the new characters, they straight away replaced them with Fortress and his crew. And I really don't like them lol.

  • Rodimus COULD have been great. They never let him grow as a charicter like Optimus Prime or even Bunblebee. Season 3 seemed rushed and pushed together while not doing anything in particular with any one charicter that hadn't been done before. AND everything after Season 3 stank to high heaven. Sorry if you disagree, but good Lord, STAR CONVOY? HEADMASTERS? TARGETMASTERS? Give me a break.

  • I liked Rodimus. Season 3 was like it was written by someone with ADD, but the second last ep where he tried to give up leadership was great development. Season 3 got progressivly better. If only they kept on with that and forgot about the stupid head masters gimmick of s4

  • I liked Hot Rod, but considering that most of the S3 characters showed up out of the blue didn't appeal to me. They killed off some of my favorites and made others just disappear. Like Hound, my personal fav, was neverseen again after S2. And you are right about the ADHD writers, gosh... They couldn't carry a theme if it jumpe don their backs. They hardly gave some introductions. Abominus and Predaking showed up out of nowhere and they expected everyone to go "Oh Snap, look at that!"

  • @viraticwars and that was because they bring Optimus back. they had no idea of the next toy line and created the Headmasters fail and others.

  • Comment removed

  • poor Rodimus he never got a chance to shine all way buried under optimus shadow even more the primal was

  • I never thought Rodimus was a bad character. The writers just didn't do anything with him. Here he was supposed to be "The Chosen One" and all he did was whine about being a leader then realize he HAD to be the leader, but by the next episode he was back to whining. The poor guy never had a chance.

    Rodimus Prime never got the respect he deserved.

  • Rodimus was a character with enormous potential to be a great leader like Optimus Prime. The fans were impatient and upset about Optimus's death. Optimus was fighting a war, people die and accidents happen. It was a cowardly, move bringing Optimus back simply to please the fans and from a literary standpoint the emotional impact of Optimus's death is nullified

  • I agree with you. Optimas is cool an all they just didn't give Rodimas a chance.

  • "I knew you had potential lad"

  • @BatFromFire

    I agree. Bringing back Optimus was like a record scratch. People don't come back from the dead no matter how much we want them to, something Rodimus and the others needed to come to grips with.

  • Comment removed

  • @BatFromFire Im with on your opinion of Rodimus Prime. he kicks ass

  • @BatFromFire Down with Rodimus! He was responsible for Prime's death in the first place.

  • @RaveKraver

    Shit happens, get over it and move on.

  • @BatFromFire Aaaah you traitor!!! XD

  • @BatFromFire i shud put this on a book or something. people shud know it.

  • @BatFromFire 100% agree. Rodimus was the hero of the movie and it made him a strong character. The Five Faces of Darkness continued this, but then suddenly the writers decided to turn him into a wishy washy leader. They misread the performance of the movie in the box office. It was not going to do good whether Optimus lived or died. They used that as an excuse to kill the Rodimus character and then eventually kill the G1 series. It could have lasted another 2-3 seasons with minor tweaks.

  • Rodimus had so more depth then Optimus could ever have.So my Prime is Rodimus.

  • I liked Hot Rod... but he was never Autobot leadership material in my opinion.

  • After seeing this vid, and reading all the love for Rodimus, I kinda understand why he has a fan base. He did have huge shoes to fill, but What ever happens to Rodims anyway? does he die?

  • @LegionofBart

    in the continuation of g1 in japan after optimus died again, rodimus gave the leadership to a random autobot and tried to look for a planet without decepticons to get away from the war which was stupid since he was made leader again after optimus died again in headmasters but they threw it away along with everything else.

  • @wesker100000000 Rodimus Prime's dream was to make this war over and have peace between the Autobots and the Decepticons, but things got too harsh with the destruction of cybertron, so, theres no need of war anymore. Rodimus made Fortress Maximus a temporary leader, in case he comes back (in the comics he does) he could take over as a leader.

  • Rodimus = Best Autobot Ever :D People don't like him because he replaced Optimus, who people loved. In my opinion, Rodimus ROCKED! Plus, awesome song choice :D

  • i agreed!!

  • i watched tranformers when they were animals and i never got it and dam i think bb is a better replacement for hot rod O_O

  • lol the dinobot was humping

  • i dont why people blame rodimus it was hasbro who wrote the script and it not real life to rodimus is the best leader but hasbro wrote the script

  • didnt rodimus inspire the flame for

    the movie prime

    thats A reason why rodimus is important

  • @FanimusMaximus 100% agreed

  • Rodimus rules. I love Optimus but my favorite is Rodimus by far. Optimus was the obvious leader but Hot Rod was the underdog who had the biggest heart and that's why the matrix chose him. Awesome tribute!

  • rodimus does rules i dont why people hate him and or blame him it was hasbro who made the script and they used hotrod/ rodimus as a scape goat

  • you are 100% right about rodimus...

  • i agree with clotalo. Rodimus did try his best but others treated him differently than Optimus.

  • Comment removed

  • he didnt choose the stuff that happend to him

  • The legacy of Optimus Prime will never be assimilated, but Rodimus did his best, got to give him credit for that

  • Rodimus Prime is Leader of Autobots in Transformers G1 Season 3

  • be fair to hot rod because he was the only one who want help prime. ^^

  • Awesome Finally a trib 4 him not enough people give him credit!!!!

  • beauty87tube and rodimousprime hater shut the fuck up dont comment ok shut the fk ok every one if a rodimusprime hater comments block it , spam , remove etc or thumbs down

  • I love the 80s

  • Obvious to have dare as his song. Could have included more of his battles though. To make the critics silent.

  • soundwave91 you opion dont counts so you suck and soundwave sucks op sucks ok

  • rodimus is the best soundwave91 leave

  • soundwave91 shut up

  • He alsways ask in season 3, what will Prime do in this or that situation.

  • His story (well in the movie) is proof that you never know what your destiny could be unless you give up dreaming.

  • Rodimus Prime tries to be like Optimus Prime but did his best to be great leader like him.

  • rodimusprime for president and galvatron for vice president and arcee for first lady

  • the greatest autobot leader of all time, optimus prime sucks, no transformer compares to rodimus!

  • yeah right omg optimus was old news, i rather see bumble bee lead the autobots then a optimus, god he died, and should have stayed dead, cause what came back was a phoney autobot! not the true autobot leader and rodimus was chosen by the matrix to lead and i see you wont there in those days like me watching the real transformers not these pile of crap clones of today!

  • lxhinata sucks dick , rodimusprime and galvatron rules ,haters leave

  • so,

    he kills prime,

    then prime declares magnus the leader,

    then he steals both the matrix AND the leadership of the autobots from magnus,

    then he starts complaining about how he was chossen by the matrix!

    no offense to anybody,

    I mean, he was sorta cool in season three,

    but come ON!

    he killed prime, then stole then matrix from magnus, then COMPLAINED!

  • @lxhinata first,

    he didnt got Optimus killed, at least he was the only one who tried to help him,

    oh yea?

    did he stealed the matrix? or the matrix choose him? also, Ultra Magnus was giving a shit about Leadership

    of course! even Optimus did this!

  • @lxhinata Technically he stole it from Galvatron, who stole it from Magnus. And remember, Optimus said that one day a leader shall rise from among their ranks, so he didn't necessary make Magnus the leader. Just passed the Matrix on to him to protect it, whch he did a lousy job of doing. ; )

  • Rodimus rocks on! He, and Galvatron is the best of G1! =D

  • wait a minute...so optimus prime dies...and hot rod takes over...??? cuz hot rod doesn't seem like the type of guy to be prime's successor.

  • It was kinda a thing of happenstance and fate. In Season 3 even some of the Autobots thought he was a lot different leader than Optimus, and Hot Rod himself sometimes questioned his own leadership skills, but he's a great leader, a lil inexperienced, but worthy and totally awesome!

  • combatmaster, next time you reply to one of my comments - or anyone else's for that matter - don't repeat yourself. it's...weird. like you're trying to emphasize something by repeating it over and over but the only thing that happens is that you get the other person annoyed.

  • Thats the thing. People that have ONLY seen the movie and barely paid attention to Season 3-4 dont get that. But Combatmaster I see you do. He was a great leader, though he had HUGE shoes to fill and alot of expectations. Especially from Kup and Ultra Magnus. Magnus being the rightful heir to Optimus, but it wasnt meant to be. It was for Rodimus. And he did the best he could. Though he may not have been ready, The Matrix chose him, so he did his best

  • 01:03 Rodimus Prime kick Galvatron

  • es el unico autobot en G1 que parece humano y crece y se desarrolla mentalmente y muestra dudas e inseguridades pero al final eso de lider le quedo un poco grande

  • super

  • I am one who HATES Rodimus. Since it was until after we bought Hot Rod that Rodimus Prime came out. Ultra Magnus is another who is exactly the same as Optimus Prime except White until you put the trailer on him. It was definately the toy which is why we hate certain Transformers and love others.

  • best autobot next to optimus

  • weird as it may be, but i have to say hot rod/rodimus prime is the sexiest autobot/TF ever!!! ;)

  • Rod does not get enough cred

  • I like that you included clips from season 3 as well as the movie. "Dare" has always been Rodimus's theme song. I love Rodi! Nice vid!

  • Rodimus Prime tribute yes yes yes yes yes

  • Holy crap Nice Video man. Rodimus is actually awesome no one seems to get that hes actually awesome.

  • Rodimus been awesome, people who have beef with Rodimus were just pissed cause Optimus was gone.

  • So true.  Rodimus Prime is indeed awesome. He has flames on him =D

  • rodimusprime from TRANSFORMERS G1

    RODIMUSPRIME17:FREDERIK JØHL 15 year ago

  • yes rodimusprime and me RODMUSPRIME17:FREDERIK JØHL

  • one of the best videos of transformers on the net...set up well good job

  • I never get tired of that scene in the movie when hot rod transforms and tears up the grass on his way to "lookout mountain" at.20 seconds into this clip

  • in all fairness ultra magnus would have made a better commander!

  • agreed Rodimus Prime gets so much grief but from going back and watching all the first and second season on the DVD set Optimus Prime did some pretty bone head mistakes also

  • I don't know why everyone gives Rodimus so much grief. Yeah, Optimus was the best, but he had something like 4 million years to build that reputation. Give the kid a couple millenia then make your judgement. He might suprise you.

  • I LOVE this song.I have the soundtrack from this movie.

  • the song is called "dare"

  • Rodimus Prime is Awesome, what song is this by the way?

  • when the matrix is taken from him he become hotrod again

  • EXCELENTE VIDEO...MUY BUENO.

  • sweet video, rodimus and optimus forever!

  • i like both rodimus and galvatron and the reason that they cant do another leader replacement galvatron and rodimus and starsaber and deathzaras is because to many complaints of its not optimus and not megatron witch i hate why cant people change for once and optimus never had balls like hot rod/rodimus nor megatron like galvatron

  • Optimus never had balls? Hardly a judgment on Autobot leadership since robots have no genetalia..lol.

  • Fantastic job! with a great song as well

  • first he was hot rod

    now he is rodimus prime!

  • Rodimus sucks! Hot Rod wasn't bad

  • you do know they are the same person, just got remaned and stronger

  • oh i know, its just him now after becoming leader

  • oh i know, i just hate him after he became leader

  • isnt it the same guy?

  • DJ8Os' right. it was his song in the movie. nice work mettallomark2!

  • Very nice tribute to one of my all time favorite characters! My favorite song too. Though in theory, isn't Dare actually Hot Rod's theme song? ;)

  • Rodimus is a total wimp! He is too immature to be the leader and whenever there's problem he just says " give me a break!" and drives off. Oh yeah, what a leader HE is. And he's whining all the time and he hates to do the "boring" parts as leader, like doing speeches about peace.

    No, Optimus Prime rules! Rodimus... psh.. rather ROTTENmus.

  • Yes he's immature and yes he's not nearly as cool as optimus, but the idea was that he a) hasn't got optimus' millenia of experience b) bears a terrible burden for being mostly responsible for prime's death c) has to face even greater challenges like the quintessons and d) everyone expects him to be as good as Optimus, the greatest autobot ever. No, I don't like him much, but you have to keep these things in mind.

  • I do. However i find it odd to praise him for the LEADERSHIP. I think it's cool that he at least does an effort. For that i admire him alot. But to say he's a great leader is well... you know what i mean. But I dont hate him or anything, i feel with him for what he has to go through. Poor guy :( but he cant lead, he's not fit for that.

    It's actually a cool thing they did that with him in the series. It shows that you CAN become the leader, even when you're not ready for it.

  • Good point, I agree. Oh, and he's very lucky that Galvatron got his circuits scrambled. Galvatron's strength and Megatron's cunning would have been too much for poor Rodiums to handle I think!

  • Oh yeah! Galvatron's strength combined with actual INTELLIGENCE as Megatron's ( read: i think galvatron is awful), it would have been over for the Bots I think. Come to think about it, who of US would have done better as leaders anyway, if we were in the same circumstances as Roddy? He gave it a try and tried hard and that is really awsome.

  • Yeah, Galvatron was only good for comedy value (check out the "Insanity of Galvatron" videos here on youtube if you haven't already). In some episodes of the 3rd season they tried to make Cyclonus the brains of the decepticon's plans, but mostly he's just a bumbling henchman - a pity they didn't make him smarter, it could have worked well.

  • Yeah i've seen them, god they are hilarious! I wonder how come Galvatron suddenly got such a whiny voice?? When he was first "created" after Megatron went to the uniscrap one could say, he had the most cool voice! Now he's got this weird... annoying crow voice that is a rip off of starscream's sometimes, hehe. Oh well it's fun anyway.

  • Yeah, it's hard to believe it's the same guy who did Megatron!

  • And I wonder why Frank Welker was the voice of Wheelie as well. That's really funny! Galvatron is a nutcase, but he looks really cool though. Hot Rod is very handsome too I think. Poor guy, having to deal with the Matrix.

  • ERES VALIENTE RODIMUS PRIME.....

  • "Dare" the other Stan Bush song from the Transformers Movie.

  • Hot Rod is cool, but rodimus??!! Prime was way kooler.

  • yeahhhh. Rodimus Prime rocks. A worthy successor to the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Hail Rodimus!

  • A worthy successor?! He was the reason optimus prime died. Besides optimus gave the matrix to ultra magnus not hot rod. I gotta laugh at myself because I grew up watching transformers and after all these years I still hold a grudge.

  • how sad...to hold a grudge after all these years. So immature...so what if Prime did not give Matrix to Hot Rod? Magnus couldn't hold on to it. Could he? Hahahah. That's just too bad then.

  • Yea magnus got blown to bits for trying to open the matrix at the wrong time. Oh well. I just hope they dont mess up the transformers movie in july.

  • Ultra Magnus is just a soldier. "Prime, I'm just a soldier."

  • Esta muy pero muy pero bueno...Excelente, excelente, Excelente, excelente, Excelente, excelente, Excelente, excelente, Excelente, excelente, Excelente, excelente,Excelente, excelente, Excelente, excelente, Excelente, , excelente, excelente, MUY BUEN TRABAJO TE FELICITO.. ESTE ES EL SEGUNDO MEJOR VIDEO DE YOUTUBE DESPUES DE: UN TRIBUTO A OPTIMUS PRIME...

  • One thing: Needs Transformers: Headmasters clips

  • rodimus rules

  • Transformers: Headmasters clips with Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime in them

  • aah yeah u mean like the one where he just leaves the autobots? yeah, he's REAL memorable in the headmasters

  • It's kind of funny, Rodimus Prime was treated as a leader every bit as good as Optimus in Headmasters after Op died a second time...

  • the japanese dislike of the stability in a serie a bit more respect of the americans

  • Uh, what?
