Eventually, he would resign himself to his role as Rodimus Prime, leader, though in 2011 it was under his watch that Cybertron was destroyed.

HOT ROD AUTOBOT MOVIE
Kup on Hot Rod's transformation into Rodimus Prime, The Transformers: The Movie He is also very self-reliant, rarely sending others to do anything when he could be doing it himself. One thing that both sides of this Autobot's identity have in common is their impatience-neither Hot Rod nor Rodimus Prime can stand to wait around when they could be doing something instead. Of course, much of this comes from comparisons with his former commander Optimus Prime-and let's face it, shoes-to-be-filled just don't get much bigger than that. In contrast, his Rodimus Prime persona-while still headstrong and stubborn-seems to suffer from a severe lack of confidence, often doubting his own decisions and expressing distress over his position as an Autobot leader. Exactly how deep Hot Rod's feelings for Arcee might run is unknown. Their relationship is antagonistic, but friendly. Arcee also serves as a calming influence on Hot Rod, and tends to either worry about him when he is not around, or deride and tease him when he is. Kup has assumed the role of mentor and advisor to the impetuous young Hot Rod, offering him wisdom and advice when he needs it (though Hot Rod rarely feels that he does, much to Kup's annoyance). Hot Rod (aka Rodimus and Hot Rodimus) is brash and headstrong, with an overwhelming self-confidence that borders on arrogance.
