Time for a fun Friday topic.
Protoman, this Bud's...ahem, I mean this thread is for you!!!
With everyone all excited about their Protector Armor, I figured, let's talk about Hot Rod.
We all know Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime...
FACT!!!
Common belief is that Hot Rod is the Chosen One...
FACT!!!
The Matrix has a sense of humor...
FACT!!!...uhm...nm.
Why is the term "Chosen One" applied to Hot Rod?
THIS IS NOT A POLL!!!
-Was it the Matrix that
chose him to be the one to allow Optimus Prime's death?
-Was it the Matrix that prevented Optimus from killing Megatron when he had the chance, thus allowing Hot Rod to interfere and allow Megatron to deal the lethal blows?
-Was he
chosen by the Matrix to follow a path of events that will allow him to bring Optimus Prime back?
-Was Optimus Prime destined to always die a climactic battle, and Hot Rod was
chosen by the Matrix to bring Optimus Prime back regardless of who kills him?
-Did the Matrix find Ultra Magnus too "old" and needed someone younger?
-Was killing Unicron Hot Rod's destined
one and only task?
-Was he
chosen by the Matrix to
not get it on with Arcee?
-Was he
chosen by the Matrix to bring peace to the galaxy? Because Optimus would only have focused on Earth?
-Was he
chosen by the Matrix because no one else would have been able to cope against Galvatron's craziness?
-Was he
chosen by the Matrix to not be Daniel's companion? (Witwicky, not Protoman)
-Was it his eagerness, courage, and willingness to do whatever it takes that got him "
chosen"?
-Was it something his direct ancestor did or promised the Matrix to have him "
chosen"? (the Rodimus look-a-like in Five Faces of Darkness)
-Was he "chosen" to by the Matrix to deal with the Quintessons?
