he was never going to be the leader Optimus was I literally cringed watching him every time , Grimlock became the best thing out of season 3No he really didn't. I remember that episode in season 3 "The Burden Hardest to Bear" where the matrix was taken from him and he reverted back to Hot Rod, he was happy as shit!
I didn't like Rodimus back then, hell he got Optimus killed as Hot Rod so that was already a strike against him. But as I got older and watched some of season 3 again I see he was always second guessing himself and comparing himself to Optimus instead of being his own leader and doing his own thing. He held himself back.
He was more than willing to let Prime keep the Matrix again after "The Return of Optimus Prime" though!![]()
