Transformers: Energon

The Legend of Rodimus (1x11)

Air date: Mar 19, 2004

Alpha Q prepares to bring Unicron to life, while yet another Energon Tower is secured into place. Below the city, Kicker searches for more energon with Ironhide, but has trouble because of a similar experience during his childhood which was caused on an energon expedition with his father. Kicker felt his father was more concerned with finding energon than his safety, and he'll never forgive him for it. Ironhide tells Kicker that he should respect his father and to punctuate his point, he tells Kicker about a legendary transformer named Rodimus, who was an inspirational leader that rallied a group of Autobots to escape the war and create a new world. He then leaves Kicker to fend for himself and confront his fears.
