Bobton03 wrote:Having re-read TF: Ongoing it appears that Hot Rod (Rodimus) stole Ultra Magnus' starship with the intent of attaining the Matrix from the Decepticons. Even though Hot Rod discusses his desires for leaving Earth for nearly the whole series, he promptly acts on these desires only after hearing the discussion between Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee regarding the Matrix in Issue #6 (pg. 21).
Now, will IDW have the Matrix "choose" Rodimus as the next Autobot leader, or will the writers have the Matrix either "choose" a different Autobot, or have it returned to Optimus Prime?
Bobton03 wrote:I hope that Rodimus will be smart enough to relinquish control of the Matrix. I fear two things, however: 1) The writers at IDW, and 2) the notion that by being in possession of the Matrix and having been "chosen" by the relic since he was able to attain it from the Decepticons, Rodimus might feel that his leadership flaws and previously bad experiences are absolved, thus propelling him into the Optimus' role in the Autobot ranks.
