Character Name: Hot Rod
Generation: G1 cartoon, post-S3 (ignoring The Rebirth/Headmasters)
Affiliation: Autobots
Alignment: Good, swinging between lawful and chaotic
Weapons and special abilities: Wrist-mounted lasers, sword (rarely used), Matrix (dormant)

Personality: Those who knew him before That Thing With Unicron will note that Hot Rod is much steadier and more responsible than he used to be. A co-leader in his own timeline, he instinctively looks after and protects those around him, especially humans. He is quick-thinking and clever, and his training as a leader has developed his natural intelligence quite a lot. He is still somewhat haunted by his experiences, especially those surrounding Optimus Prime and Unicron, and will find them difficult to talk about. But now and then, flashes of his former self - good-sparked, enthusiastic, always ready for the next adventure - shine through.

Description: Hot Rod is small and light for a carformer, built for speed rather than strength. His paint is red and orange, with a flame decal on his chest that surrounds his Autobot symbol. His most prominent feature is the golden spoiler affixed to his back that almost resemble a pair of small wings. His alt form is a sleek sports car, with the spoiler attached to the trunk and the flame decal on the hood.
