Final Member Of Team Prime In My AU, Hot Rod.

Final member of Team Prime in my AU, Hot Rod.

What Hot Rod lacks in experience he makes up for in both skill and wits. Qualities he learned in the Cybertron Elite Guard where he was praised as a matchless prodigy, and he feels self-obliged to fulfill that potential. That grit along with his talents landed him in Team Prime as one of his top lieutenants. As a highly trained combatant and a sharpshooting archer with his energon bow, Hot Rod knows he’s one of Optimus’ best fighters, if not his most important soldier. Especially here on Earth.

Except, Prime has serious doubts about him and he worries Hot Rod’s rapid trajectory up the Autobot ranks has gotten to his head. While an exceptional fighter whose eager lead, Hot Rod has shown himself in the past far too reckless and impatient to warrant him being a commander. He possesses a fixation at achieving victory at all costs, even at the expense of his fellow Autobots or himself. This stubbornness and lack of humility leads to Hot Rod fighting with pure arrogance and Optimus fears for his well-being.
