  Rodimus Prime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rodimus Prime (Rodimus Convoy in Japan, Rodimus Primo in France, and Captain in Italy) is a fictional character from the Transformers universe.
Rodimus Prime is the upgraded, reformatted form of the youthful Autobot Hot Rod, and the Chosen One of Autobot legend who would rise from their ranks and open the Autobot Matrix of Leadership to "light [their] darkest hour", marking him as the new Autobot commander.
Rodimus did not have time to rest on his laurels as commander, immediately finding himself and the Autobots targeted by the Quintessons, who lured him to their planet of Quintessa and detonated it in hopes of destroying the Matrix.

The firey stickers along Prime's sides and on his hood nicely parallel the fire decals present on the Hot Rod toy, and the rubber tires (from the various Primes I've seen) seem to be less prone to cracking than other toys in the line.
Let it be known that Rodimus was released in variations that had either metal or plastic feet, and that I have the metal version because I'm better than you.
Rodimus isn't awful, but he's not a great deal of fun and doesn't really look that great as a robot...so his options are rather limited.

Even though Galvy was technically still Megatron, and even though Rodimus took Optimus' last name when he became a super-trooper, they both lacked the charm and charisma of their predecessors, and one could make a pretty strong argument that the switch ultimately killed the series.

 G1 Reissue Rodimus Prime Toy Review
Rodimus Prime keeps almost the exact same color scheme as his previous version, Hot Rod (or Rodimus Major if you want to go by the Reissue names).
As with the G1 Optimus Prime toy, Rodimus Prime's robot mode consists of the front half of his vehicle mode splitting off to form a robot while the trailer part forms a sort of mobile base.
For one thing, Rodimus has poor articulation even by G1 standards- he can only move back-and-forth at the shoulders, and if they're in any position but vertical, they look really odd, since the joint where they're attached to his main body is actually more towards the middle of his chest, not his shoulders.

 hi
Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus told him, Blurr, Kup and Arcee, and the likes of Crosshairs, Sureshot, Pointblank or Fast Lane that their vehicle forms weren’t suited for Earth exploration, due to their still Cybertronian styled appearance, and requested that they didn’t involve themselves in or near human settlements.
