So what the [composite word including 'f*ck'] does "Rodimus" mean? Huh? For all you Theory/Fan Ficky types.

Optimus=Best

Rodimus=Best rod?

Yeah, I know what I said...

Rodimus Prime translates as... Rodimus the First?

It was always a crap name anyway.

As is Omega Supreme... sounds like an ice cream or pizza.

And Ultra Magnus.... toliet paper or condoms.

Or is that just me?

Well, from what I remember of my school Latin days, the suffix ~imus referred to the superlative form of an adjective (e.g. Magnus means large/great, while Maximus means largest/greatest), so based on that,

Optimus - Best (as in Most Good)

Rodimus - Most Roddy?

Ultra Magnus - the t-shirt size for tfs.

In a glorious bit of retconning I once decided that his proper "given" name on Cybertron was Rodimus, but being a turbo-revvin' young punk he insisted that everyone call him Hot Rod, as that was his cool nickname. Upon getting the Matrix he became Rodimus Prime, but later in the Wreckers comics as a "Matrix Templar" or whatever he's back to being just plain Rodimus.

It's tenuous, but I think it works.

Magnus is a cool name! I was being facetious.

Ah, that would also explain why you're knelt down waving your hand over the grass, then.

This seems like an appropriate time for EmVee to tell his Magnus/Prime joke.

Nope.

Excel/Excellent/Excelsis/Excelsior = Beyond

Ultra = Very

Nope.

Ultra = Very

Ah, that's interesting... am sure i read that somewhere years ago... GrimGrams maybe?

anyway, that made me do a bit of research...
Magnus = large, great, important
Ulta = Very

so we have "Very Large" or "Very Important"... nice.

Aside from its 'meaning', it just sound stupid and poor to my ears.

I like his name, Omega usually applies to "the end" or in some cases death.

He is the supreme end to all that stand in his way.

Unless you happen to be a slightly overweight human with a penchant for wearing Timmy Mallett/Elton John oversized goggles.

Which is why I said he does

He's a Transformer that doesn't transform [Actionmaster] that does[Elite]

I happen to own Omega Spreem, it’s the only marginally rare transformer I have...and he "SUXX"

He does have a large push-lever on his crotch that makes him spin quite "vigorously"
