Remember, kids, don't take us to your school for Show-and-Tell Day. Or, for *any* day, really.

Until he gets thrown into the Dead Universe by Alpha Trion for daring to think he was worthy of the Matrix.

In all honesty, we were brainstorming ideas for how TFTM could have let Optimus live (preferably while also allowing Hot Rod to still become Rodimus and take over as the new leader), since Deviations was brought up as an example of how not to do that.

Man, I wish I had the slimness to be stuffed into a locker. Good luck getting my girth to fit into anything. 😅

Sorry, those toys couldn't be featured in the cartoon or its movie due to their molds being owned by Bandai, since the cartoon was also airing Japan and that would have given free advertisement to one of Takara's main rivals. Same reason we never got Roadbuster and Whirl onscreen, and why...

The Ultimate Guide came out in 2004, covering the history of the brand from G1 to Energon. Aligned didn't start until 2010.

That's not from The Ultimate Guide.

I've just been hanging out around here, chatting with the buds, all while building an archive. ;)

At the very least, we can probably anticipate that his (and those of the other Thirteen) altmode will probably be (in the words of Thew) some kind of a "Space Whatever".

Full disclosure: My legit favorite scene in the entirety of TFTM is the final scene, starting from when Hot Rod first grabs the Matrix from Galvatron and it starts glowing while "The Touch" starts playing for the second time in the movie. Everything from that point to the very end of the movie...

Wow! Kamen Rider finally got his own Megazord! He just had to Frankenstein together three other giant Japanese icons in order to do it. :p

Here's the real reasons Amy Jo Johnson didn't participate in MMPR: Once & Always, and why she couldn't talk about it at the time:

Sure thing, as "Zed Prime" also called to mind images of this guy and we definitely do not want him getting his hands anywhere near a Matrix's power: :p

Only via an AVP retcon from the AAII. Besides, the last letter of the Greek alphabet is Ω, so wouldn't the opposite counterpart of Alpha Prime be Omega Prime? ;)

New idea: The Last Autobot = the Marvel G1 comics version of Zeta Prime ("Autonomous Maximus" be darned)

In all seriousness, "the Arisen" wasn't actually something Covenant book did; rather, the book made Optimus the literal reincarnation of the Thirteenth Prime, heavily implied to have originally been named "Optimus Prime" all along. "The Arisen" was instead a concept invented by IDW, a figure of...

In other words, literal knockoffs.

Ah, so he's the one who caused Hot Rod to trip in my version.

Frankly, I would have much rather preferred that the Last Autobot had been allowed to be the Thirteenth, since he was supposed to have been the final of Primus's original direct creations.

I really liked how Cyberverse handled Hot Rod in its third season. That felt like one of the best modern takes on the character in a long time. While he still didn't go down the Rodimus route, he was allowed to take charge and grow into a leadership role all unto his own, earning respect and...
