** His disdain for Rodimus's leadership isn't exactly unfounded. Rodimus was frequently depicted as an overeager {{manchild}} and GlorySeeker, and while he did have self-doubts and wanted to be AFatherToHisMen, his bluster hid those thoughts from most of the crew, and his reckless actions regularly brought problems for them, chief among them being [[spoiler:his willingness to allow Overlord on the ship resulting in several deaths]]. It fell to other bots like Ultra Magnus or even Megatron to keep him grounded, as the rest of Team Rodimus were either too wrapped up in their own issues to argue against him, willingly enabled him for the sake of enjoying themselves or out of hero worship for him, or had their ''own'' issues enabled by him like Chromedome's mnemosurgery addiction. And even ''that'' wasn't always a guarantee, as Rodimus proved by pulling rank on Ultra Magnus following his attempt at lecturing him for the Sparkeater incident.
