Jazz would also be awesome, but they have so far built up the ranks by adding bots and cons that bring something new to the personality quotient.
For the Cons.
Airachnid brought the creepy crazy.
Dreadwing, loyalty and honor.
Both were aspects that were missing or in very short supply in the Decepticon dynamic.
For the Autobots Wheeljack brought the loner who didn't automatically worship Prime, a major change.
Now there are several "new" personality traits that could be brought in but one of the more obvious ones is a bot who's devoted to protocol and logic. Optimus has his principles that he sticks to and Ratchet is a bit stiff socially but the hallmark of team prime is their ability to improvise and adapt to the situation at hand.
Enter Mr. Rules and Regs himself, Prowl. Stiff and law abiding. The confrontations with Miko alone would bring a new dynamic to the show. He would probably set off all the characters in one way or another bringing more depth and body to the cast as a whole.

Because he has yet to obtain a figure in the Prime lineup (such as Hot Shot, Sergeant Kup, Ultra Magnus, and Ironhide did), he has ties to Starscream, is a scientist (which would benefit Ratchet), and could help introduce the Aerialbots into this continuity.
That, and it would be a bit of a cliche for them to add yet another Autobot that transforms into a ground vehicle... Especially with the Decepticons having a combination of ground-based and air-based characters.PrimeStriker wrote:There is no Hot Rod in the Aligned Continuity.
I want to correct you right there - There is no "Hot Rod" in the continuity, but there can be a Rodimus. And with there being more than a single Aligned continuity, they could introduce him as a character that is part of the survivng Wreckers team!

Hate to burst your bubble there, but according to Hasbro, that version of Brawn is supposed to be G1. In the words of Animated Slipstream, "Don't ask."
I don't get the reference of Airachnid's misspelling.

Actually, you said "There is no Hot Rod in the Aligned Continuity." without explaining what you mean by that. And with Hot Rod being Hasbro's original G1 version of Rodimus, he does have a chance of fitting in the series... But only as a Wrecker.
KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Okay... Prime? Let me stop you right there. You are telling this to a guy who has been a fan of the franchise since the 1980s. So while I pretty much have the entire Takara Tomy G1 continuity and its offspring memorized, it helps me understand how this works. So all I will say is that you misused a word to describe PRIME, as the definition of that word describes the "Arms Microns" line in Japan.

Oh... And also, I follow Takara Tomy's stuff. So pretty much for me, when it comes to the Aligned continuity, it is solely just PRIME, Arms Microns, and Cybertron Satellite.

Well, then that's not our problem. The Aligned Continuity is HASBRO'S baby, not TakaraTomy's. TakaraTomy has contributed minimal bits to the Aligned continuity compared to Hasbro.

On Exodus, it is tied to both War for Cybertron (as it tells the same basic story) and the Prime cartoon (as episode 26 flashed back to it).
On the video games, they are the ancient history era of the Prime cartoon's universe.
On Rescue Bots, it takes place in the same present day as Prime.

Okay... Snipping the rest for space.
A) Hasbro never had the rights to the name. The main reason why they dropped it is because they could not copyright the name. However, there was no talks about them calling him (or any other character) "Autobot Hot Rod"... As the addition of "Autobot" and "Decepticon" to a name is how they copyright names that they cannot own.
B) Not true. Besides the addition of "Autobot" to the name, Hasbro has the right to give the name to a minor character that would never be marketed. Plus, they can use it as a joke or a question towards Hot Shot, as a reference to both the fact he looked like Rodimus in the DS "War for Cybertron - Autobot" game and was named "Rodimus" in the "Bumblebee at Tyger Pax" story.
Aaron Archer wrote:According to Aaron Archer at the BotCon 2010 Activision panel, the character was named "Hot Shot" due to "Hot Rod" being an unprotectable name. Hasbro later revealed that they didn't name him Rodimus because they wanted fans to see how he became Rodimus.

Sabrblade, he can speak for himself. And after reading what you just said, you dismissed that fact as well as a whole lot of different facts. Such as:Sabrblade wrote: PrimeStriker is saying is that, in this continuity, Rodimus = Hot Shot, not Hot Rod.
Being a PRIME fan, I found out that the version in Japan is totally different than here. As in the fact that if this was Japanese first, they would have placed Hot Shot in the team while trying to make him a "friendly marketable character for those who both buy the toys and play with them"... Versus here, where they took portions of how G1 was structured, and made it better.Sabrblade wrote:Um... what about him makes him fit into Japanese TF: Prime but not American TF: Prime?
