NOTES
Concept for "Cybertronian mode" Rodimus Prime, based on the different incarnations of the character.
Is there room for Rodimus Prime, in the Seeds Of Deception universe? According to our writer Franco, the answer is: yes, there is!
Just like Galvatron is not Megatron, Rodimus Prime is not Hot Rod.
Well, not the Hot Rod of this reality. As Franco explained, the Magnificence-caused events told in Short Stry: Poisoned Chalice bring the multiverse to a state of total chaos, with realities collapsing one on the other. Before the self-destruction of everything that is, someone (a villain, ironically!) will be able to draw a powerful incarnation of Rodimus Prime in this universe... a mature version of the character, gifted by the Source with a new Matrix item: the Unity Sceptre. As powerful as the Balance Staff, the Sceptre has a completely different purpose: once the properly order universe is restored, the Sceptre will play a pivotal role in the future events... when Rodimus pits himself and the dawning galactic community versus the hordes of the Dead Univese, led by Galvatron and Nemesis Prime.
I always thought that Rodimus were more than meets the eye, and that there must be a reason for all those ancient Primes looking like him. (Beyond cheap animation). Also, I think that the Rodimus Prime of SoD comes from the Lost Seasons reality
mmm...that's interesting, I was going to suggest some crossover with the LS , so, this must come from some point of the LS's future; maybe from some point after "War Flames"?
but his arms, hands and lower legs are far too bulky. Especially the arms, how would they even move? Both modes feel squashed/chibi-fied
Also, I gave him a cameo in this piece, Mosaic: Nightmare Project, stating that his contribution to the galactic community was pivotal.
