Hot Rodding’s Original Genius who put the “K” in Kustom, Ed “Daddy” Roth. When no less a literary light than Tom Wolfe — thought by many to be the most perceptive chronicler of modern American culture — made it a point to track down and interview Edward Roth in 1963, it was apparent that Big Daddy was more than just another ...

For me, this is one of the more memorable scenes of the entire film. As Spectre General’s awesome anthem, Nothin’s Gonna Stand In Our Way wails on full blast, Hot Rod is found underwater and entangled in a bed of robotic tentacles with piranha-like creatures all around him. After calling for help he realises he’s on his own before he uses every tri...
“What’s that darn fool doing?” Kup has every reason to wonder, as Hot Rod begins firing on an Autobot shuttle without raising any kind of alarm or notifying Autobot City of the impending Decepticon attack, not to mention forgetting that he’s putting Daniel at risk. It’s this classic hot-headed mentality that will cause more problems to come for the...
It’s not the first time we hear the much-lauded “Universal Greeting” in the film, but despite having initially sniffed at Kup’s attempt to placate their captors on Quintessa earlier on, it’s Hot Rod’s cheery confidence in it working with the Junkions that really sells this moment. In a significant role reversal, he stops the old timer’s battle-hard...
Following on quickly after #10 is this short but standout moment where the Autobots are at their lowest point, with the matrix in Galvatron’s possession and the impending threat of Unicron approaching Cybertron. Ultra Magnus and Kup have seemingly given up, with the latter even saying that “all hope” has gone. Yet it’s Hot Rod who refuses to accept...
There are a huge number of eminently quotable lines from the 1986 movie (we even picked outsome of our favourites a while back!), but zingers like this one are just so good that they somehow transcend being in a mid-’80s animated caper about toy robots. When the Quintesson judge chides Kup and Hot Rod for talking by saying that they will be held in...
If there’s a scene in this film that’s practically guaranteed to have you punching the air, it’s this one. It’s full of any number of fantastic moments, from Kup wielding a Sharkticon’s own tail against the oncoming army to Hot Rod punching another’s teeth right out of his face. The whole thing is just one superb thrill ride from start to finish, s...
The Transformers movie isn’t subtle with the journey it’s trying to take Hot Rod on (about as subtle as it is with the influences it wears for that particular part of the tale), yet there are still some really effective beats in getting there. Among them is this oft-overlooked snippet from Optimus Prime’s death scene, where the Autobot leader drops...
As a resurrected and powered-up form of Megatron, Galvatron is pretty much the ultimate Decepticon bad guy. Which means, y’know – DON’T MESS. That’s not going to wash with our Hot Rod though, who flings himself into battle with the purple oppressor without a thought for his own safety, even laughing off the suggestion that they team up because that...
OK look, I know some of you dislike Hot Rod for jumping in the way of Optimus Prime taking down Megatron, but let’s be fair – he was only trying to help! Anyway, whatever your take on the events prior, the beat that follows is brief but remains one of the more poignant moments in the entire film. As Optimus lays helpless and fatally wounded, Hot Ro...
I mean, it had to be in here, right? Yep, come film’s end Hot Rod has fulfilled his potential and retrieved the matrix of leadership, which now fills him with power and morphs him into his souped-up Rodimus Prime form. It’s maybe an obvious pick but it’s still a blinder of an ending, not least for voice actor, Judd Nelson’s voice-cracking delivery ...
