Alt Mode: Dodge Viper

GENERAL INFO

Holoform: Street Car Driver
Personality: Hot Rod is the Autobot's residential daredevil. If there's a line he'll cross it, a knot he'll cut it, if there's a risk he'll take it smiling. The more impossible it is the better. He's hot headed, impulsive and has overwhelming confidence in himself. Unfortunately this confidence often evolves into arrogance. He prefers to do things his own way rather than listening to his superiors. He'll often do things without thinking it through or listening to the advice of others and learn to his dismay he probably should have. He's also impatient and can't stand to sit around when he could be doing something else.
However this attitude often overshadows the real Hot Rod deep inside. Despite his egotism and carefree attitude Hot Rod knows when to take things seriously. He knew the stakes during the war and he knows the stakes now. He's a caring and compassionate soul that hates to see others suffer. When it comes down to it Hot Rod will always choose the right thing over personal glory. Despite his disdain for authority he has immense respect for his leader Optimus Prime, his old drill sergeant Kup and several other Autobot leaders.
Still his reckless attitude and independent streak have made him a controversial figure among the Autobots. Optimus however sees something in the young Hot Rod. Maybe he'd make a good leader someday.

History: Hot Rod was forged in the city of Nyon the racing capitcal of Cybertron. Hot Rod spent his informative years surrounding by the excitment of the racing scene. He vowed one day he'd be a part of it. Starting as a lowly pit crew member and working his way up to being among one of the greatest racers on Cybertron. As a champion Hot Rod had many adoring fans and was one of Cybertron's hottest celebrities. Invited to all the most fanciest parties and meeting all the high profile elites.
When the Decepticon movement first began Hot Rod was content to ignore it at first. Intending to stay in his own little bubble rather than get involved in politics. That was until the city state of Praxus was destroyed and thousands were killed. That same day Hot Rod had been having the time of his life in a race. Feeling guilty he had been having fun while so many innocent lives were snuffed out, Hot Rod decided he couldn't stand by any longer. He joined the Autobots later that day.
In the Autobots Hot Rod quickly became close friends with Bumblebee and the two became battle partners. Even though he wasn't onboard the Ark when it left on it's fateful mission Hot Rod would eventually travel to Earth when the war spread there. Subsequently Hot Rod was one of the many Transformers stranded after Optimus destroyed the space bridge home. Hot Rod adjusted quickly however and has made a name for himself in the street racing scene. His participation in illegal street races has caused some controversy among his fellow Autobots but Hot Rod has brushed aside those concerns. Hot Rod hasn't let himself be tied down to one place on his new home preferring to travel and go city to city. He hasn't officially joined G.H.O.S.T. with many speculating his disdain for Authority being the primary reason.
However as fate would have it Hot Rod found himself back in the Autobots home state of Pennsylvania. For a multitude of factors Hot Rod has decided to stick around and help the Autobots with not just the recent breakout of Decepticons but also with the mentoring of the new generation of Transformers known as the Terrans. And maybe get to know that cute femme Clematis while he's there...
