PLEASE IM THE ANON WHO SENT THE HOT SHOT THING AND PLEASEEE I AM BEGGING FOR MORE OF YOUR THOUGHTS DOESNT JUST HAVE TO BE ON THAT TOPIC LITERALLY ANY HOT SHOT AS A RODICLASH KID THOUGHTS AT ALL I MUST HEAR FROM YOUR GENIUS MIND

SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO GET TO THIIIIS i was dead after new years i drank 2 much and then i forgot to respond whoops. UMM I SPILLED MOST OF IT IN THE LAST ASK FOR THE MOST PART I THINK..... having to churn my brain for transformers headcanons and fandom-specific words i had back in 2021 is INSANE im rubbing at my head. for the most part like i said in the prev, i think rodimus had a whole personality shift out of fear of being a bad parent. he has a lot of issues with emotional regulation in my brain (adhd for life...sarcastic yawn) and he acts out a lot to try and stay in a good mood. coping after nyon messed him up a lot, unsurprisingly, and it reflects into his everyday life years later. i don't think he's childish by any means because it's a popular headcanon for a grown ass man that gets on my nerves a lot LOL; but he's definitely very emotionally overwhelming and makes up excuses or outright dismisses a lot of things--i figure without thunderclash in the picture he'd definitely spoil hot shot a lot in attempts to give him a less stressful life and it'd definitely be a power trip for the kid. this isn't really to set thunderclash up as the bad cop, he's just definitely more calm and well thought out compared to rodimus and i think rodimus himself would take it as example, which is why he has such a hesitant and pushed personality shift in the aftermath. do i think he slowly goes back to normal as he gets more comfortable with the situation? yes. and thank god, because thunderclash was getting worried after it went on for a little too long. neither of them are amazing at being parents, i don't think either of them pictured a kid in their lives before they met each other (thunderclash was constantly busy, rodimus prefers independence in his private life) and there's a lot of worry between the two if they're being too helicoptery outside of their hab suite. i think that's half the reason they send him to RBA. they realize he needs to socialize more and be independent, but it's safe and private which gives them some peace on the matter.

once he's old enough, hot shot knows very well who his parents are and what they mean to society: queue added pressure to perform, which we see at the start of the series. growing up he was very sheltered and only got to meet people within the LL circle: queue added confusion. it's not that he didn't go off the ship once he was old enough, and more that rodimus and thunderclash were very picky about when and where to take him out. ironically, once he reaches the age where all of this really affects him in personality, he's at the academy. i don't see many pairs on the ship having families, outside of lug+anode who canonically stated wanting kids, and whirl's scraplet baby who is TOTALLY whirl from rba (if we're ignoring canon rules for a little bit then hot shot totally dragged her into it and they knew each other before this)--so he only really got to meet a few people his age growing up before the RBA story. a lot of people would see him taking his try-hard traits after rodimus but i've worked with kids in the past and i think it's just that--him being a kid. personally i see him growing out of it and behaving more like thunderclash in his adulthood, heatwave's behavior also plays a part in this (and i find him to be a bit of an uncle to him) ^_^ he definitely idolizes both of his parents (which is a little sad to a degree) but when you're in the place of people who are basically historical figures, it's really hard not to. i think he gets a lot of real-talk from drift+ratchet on the matter... ESPECIALLY from ratchet since he started working at the academy (iirc) (my feelings on drift+rodimus' and thunderclash+ratchet's friendships are for another time but it definitely impacts these discussions) yes, they keep in touch over comm. yes, rodimus cried when he got home like it was the first day of kindergarten. hot shot grew up very clingy due to how he was raised, but after getting a lick of independence he had a complete turnaround. post RBA i think he has a vision for himself and does his own thing happily. in his adulthood he calls when he can, he goes to see them when he can, but he's not a homebody by any means. hopefully this is all cohesive again LOL i basically just tried to word vomit what i remembered and what i realized while writing... i don't think hot shot's life was luxury by any means but he didn't have a bad childhood either. everyone in his circle meant well and he appreciates the people in his life the same way they appreciate him ^_^
