But Hot Rod IS Rodimus Prime.

But we did Hot Rod previously. The difference is being made just like Megatron and Galvatron.

So Hot Rod is not allowed, then by Phil's own rules, any toy with 'Rodimus' in the name must be allowed.
So: Rodimus Prime Rodimus Major/Minor Hot Rodimus Rodimus (singular)
Yes?

I have only ever owned the one, and have never removed him from his packaging out of The Fear. 3. MP-09 - he theoretically looks great, but I've heard too much bad news to even dare take him out 2. Titanium - I think this came up in this thread recently; I have mild regret for not picking one up when I had the chance. 1. G1 - so much wanted one of these back in the day; I think I mostly liked the idea of a design being adapted to an upgraded version though tbh -Jim

They are the same being! Young Ralph IS Old Ralph!!! -Ralph But Rodimus Prime wasn't Hot Rod getting older. The Matrix morphs him into something new. I can see both sides. He becomes a different character but it's essentially just the same person in a fancy jacket and high heeled boots. Megatron was morphed into Galvatron by Unicron though and you wouldn't class those 2 as the same character. Or would you?

Yes I would. How else can Galvatron experience his past by looking at Megatron in Time Wars?

It depends whether you view it as regeneration or reincarnation.
But as I'm a non-comic heathen my opinion probably doesn't count.

I would too. Galvatron to me is Megatron in new clothes. His mind isn't wiped. It might be affected or warped, but the memories remain.

Your opinion always counts, Big B!
Course it does.
I think the fact the first thing he does is destroy Starscream for trying to usurp him shows Megatron is in there.
This is really interesting.

Hot Rod is Rodimus and Megatron is Galvatron
Cyclonus and Scourge arent' whoever as they were dead and rebuilt, not the same guy in a new body.

Rodimus knows he was Hot Rod in the cartoon because he moans so much about not wanting to be the chosen one.

However in this top 5 I'd agree that 'Rodimus' only is a better topic rather than Rodimus and Hot Rod as... well... all the Hot Rod toys tend to be great but the Rodimus ones are often rubbish in comparison! More of a challenge!

Anyway, my list. I'll be old fashioned and only use versions that are based on the big Rodimus Prime/convoy guy.
5. Heroes of Cybertron. Obviously doesn't convert but I do like these figures.
4. Titanium series. I keep meaning to pick one up on eBay.
3. Q-Series. I'm a sucker for these figures. Expensive they may be, but worth every penny. Almost.
2. MP-9. I really want one but I'm too scared. Much too scared.
1. G1. Always been a favourite of mine, recently re-acquired.

Are we doing a bottom 5 this week?
