Who's the bigger gimp?

bobaprime85 · Post by **bobaprime85** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 10:18 pm

I'm in the mood for some lighthearted Roddy bashing. Anyone else? I promise it's going to be fun.

Anyway, which of these, er, 'two' losers proved to be the bigger gimp? Was it the idiot who got Prime killed or the idiot who whined a lot while playing leader?

Are they? What effect does the matrix have on a bearer? At the very least, it appears to be sentient.

Like getting Op killed....

As for the issue of the Matrix and its influence, it seems that the Matrix (tying into the sentience idea) had to take a direct measure to place Roddy in a mode where he could realistically take control of the Autobots. But it also seems as if it just gave Hot Rod some platform shoes and the ability to whine incessantly. So basically.... I have no idea.

I think of them as 2 characters, same way I think of Megs and Galvy. Of course Roddy was transformed by Primus, and Galvy by Unicron.

Op got Op killed. He should have shot Meggy right away, not chatter with him.

Hot Rod. Whiny, brash, annoying, and liked Daniel.

`Nuff said.

I like how Roddy got his head blown off by Galvatron, thus ending the reign of suck.

rodimus doubtless...beacause as hot rod he was stupid but if he is stupid in battle only he dies (with his superiors when them try to clean his mess) but as rodimus he is the leader of the autobots and his stupid actions can cost the lives of his troops

As to Hot Rod you have to specify which Hot Rod. Movie Future Hot Rod didn't seem to have much fighting experience and was just generally niave.

Back in the main timeline Hot Rod spent a lot more time in the front lines and By G2 he was still somewhat rash but much more seasoned and less annoying.

As a side note has anyone else noticed how in the later issues of G1 and into G2 Prime tended to keep Hot Rod close at hand? Me thinks Prime knowing who the Matrix will choose if he buys it wants to make sure Roddy gets a proper education this time around.

So in other words, if you would have had a chance, you would have voted for Bush.

Wasn't that what he was about to do when HotRod jumped in?

Rodimus was a gimp.
HotRod was just a ****.

And thus Time Wars begins...

I like the idea of OP keeping Hotrod close by his side in case somthing happens. - Or perhaps he knew that Unicron was comming EoE and was gonna use him as TF shield because the matrix told that in another life, Hotrod got you killed!

Hmm... Matrix-charged precognition aside, it does make sense that Prime would keep Roddy close, especially after Time Wars. But then again, I always got the impression that Prime was putting more effort into smoothing over Grimlock's edges in order to make the Dinobot an effective Autobot leader. Ah well, might as well have a back-up just in case, one supposes.

Of course, using Roddy as a TF shield would be pure brilliance and an example of karmic payback.

Because he's bigger.

At the time he didn't have the matrix.

(As an aside, the matrix Prime has in G2 doesn't seem to be the one he flew into Unicron with. A creation of the Last Autobot?)

Post by **Best First** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 10:41 am

Last Autiobot seems the obvious choice.

Given thatthe matrix seems to be energy the idea of it being reformed seems reasonasble.

in a far out sci fi kind of way.

Impactor returns 2.0 · Post by **Impactor returns 2.0** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 1:14 pm

they should have re-formatted the matrix itself into an actually transformer.

He would intensely powerfull and at the same time a bit detached from the world.

he would also be neither decepticon or autobot, but would prolly follow OP about, as he feels a special link.

hmm...

i hate that idea so much.

honestly tho - whats the last Autobot then?

Legion · Post by **Legion** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 4:05 pm

The Last Autobot was the leftovers of Primus after he created Cybertron, the Matrix and the first batch of TFs... big robot dude that lived in cybertron, he turned HiQ into Prime (bum deal that one) in the last issue?

Impactor returns 2.0 · Post by **Impactor returns 2.0** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 5:20 pm

the last autobot has the power of creation, is this a robot version of the matrix.

If Primus is God
Last Atuo is Jesus
The matrix? erm the bible?

shoot me...

I like the idea

Optimus Prime is the biggest gimp of all. Rodimus was leader for too little time so he was adjusting to his new reality, On the other hand Optimus was leader for a heck lot of time and made a lot of mistakes. I think he just wants to keep the war going on, otherwise he wouldnt have job or hold his “messiah status” in a peaceful Cybertron

Who's the bigger gimp?
