>>8782049>If Hot Rod was that drained from the fightingMegatron looked to be in far worse state though, took one double-fist thing from a dying Optimus for him to topple over.
>No matter how you slice it, it was a very dumb decision on Hot Rod's part.I'm not defending his wisdom, it was a rash but courageous decision, and it's not really certain how it would have turned out. Not sure how much I can condemn a split-second decision to save somebody.
>smarter than "wrestle the bot that's bigger, badder, and more experienced than youBrawn and Cliffjumper called you a coward, but I told them not to be mean.
>when he's already at someone else's gunpointHot Rod shouted almost exactly when Megatron touched the gun, so presumably he noticed him grab it before. Also he was on top of a very (cutely) surprised Megatron, so that's like, high ground + surprise + leverage, but it just happened not to work out.
>driving into him in car mode would have probably worked out better.O-ok fair enough. (m-maybe his transformation cog didn't work)
Just still don't think he deserves all the hate.
