Unbeknownst to Rodimus, Punch would meet with the Decepticons under his "Counterpunch" guise and hand the device over to Galvatron himself! Punch/Counterpunch and Clones commercial A lot of early secondary material uses Hot Rod and Rodimus in ways that don't fit the main movie-established dynamic. As with stories from the same era that portrayed Megatron and Galvatron as separate beings, this was likely to avoid spoiling the movie's ending. Studio Series has been a very fun and nifty toyline making really detailed and accurate toys of characters from the 6 live action movies as well as the classic 80's animated movie. This figure is definitely a highlight of the wave for me.In a universe where Optimus Prime died in the Battle of Chicago, Rodimus took the mantle of Prime, ultimately defeating Megatron in a struggle atop a space bridge on Cybertron.

He features much greater articulation and bulkier body proportions. Unfortunately, his transformation results in an incredibly awkward posture, forcing his upper body far ahead of his lower half. His die-cast construction also results in a great deal of paint-chipping, even when delicately handled. Interestingly, this Masterpiece Hot Rod's transformation is very specifically based around how Hot Rod transforms during the Lookout Mountain scene of the 1986 animated film, right before the Autobot shuttle arrives. The figure replicates the sequence almost frame for frame with exceptions for the rotation of the spoiler and the placement of the rear tires due to, well, how reality works as opposed to animation. Additionally, Rodimus is the only character in Animated to share a voice actor with his G1 counterpart in both the English and Japanese dubs. Someone in the studios must love him!
