Oh, Hot Rod. So innocent. So cute. So totally unaware of all the slag that's going to happen to him XD For the most part, I don't count the brief, regrettable fourth season as canon, but I like it just for how happy Hot Rod is. It's good to see that he's still capable of it.

His issues are pretty kinkable, aren't they? I've never managed to wrap my head around him and Magnus. Ultra Magnus is a fascinating character, but I can't help seeing him as totally vanilla. And my headcanon Rodimus sees him more as a Grown Up with Capital Letters than as a sexytimes partner.
