Chaoslock wrote:In the early script, the scene is different: the autobots stand around Megatron and Optimus while they fight - like in the episode "Heavy Metal War" and Hot Rod sees Megatron reach for the gun, then tries to grapple with Megatron, and tries to grab the gun before him. Since in the script a lot of weapons were not specified, it can be assumed they didn't think about it in-production after the script was finished.

Burn:Anyone notice how much of a boring party pooper N_V is? He doesn't join in the fun, he's spent the last few years with dodgy builds feeding XP to the Autobots, and he sure as heck doesn't spam.
disruptor96: I forgot how insane you were.

He already used them earlier in the film to take down the space cruiser, and later he uses them against the giant robot squid on Quintessa and against Galvatron in the final battle scene, so why not use them against Megs?
It makes no sense! Hot Rod chose the completely wrong option and as direct result Prime dies. Nice one!

So, has anyone got any good theories on this?

I have a theroy.
The film implied the battle went on for several hours, maybe even a day.
Could be HotRod didnt have the energy to use his arm cannons.
Also, his aim wasnt al;l that good, missing the ship a few times, maybe he thought the risk of hitting Prime was to great
