I love Rodimus.
He is very easy to love - he is written to be snarky, charismatic, funny with a supporting cast filled with witty repartee. But he is so very, deeply flawed and that is what I love the most about him. His ego is the size of a planet. His self confidence solid as a rock. Yet you can always see the insecurity leaking out. He is plagued by doubts even as he dives headfirst into every new situation. He chases approval from his hero, Optimus Prime, who is at best an absent father figure to him, and at worst indifferent to Rodimus' efforts.
He is terrified he will fail because he has failed - his failures are as numerous as they are epic.
I so honestly wish we got a longer ending to show how his absolute refusal to give up on himself finally extended to his steadfast refusal to give up on a single member of his crew.
Till all are one.
