In Transformers: The Movie, Rodimus Prime is voiced by Judd Nelson, but as with all the feature's "celebrity voices," Nelson did not return to perform the character in the episodes that followed the movie. Ted Schwartz was originally cast to replace Nelson as Rodimus, but he in turn was replaced by Dick Gautier, who performed the role over the ensuing two seasons, also performing Hot Rod when Rodimus would revert back to him. It is apparent, however, that Schwartz recorded several episodes as Rodimus before being replaced, as some lines spoken by him are still evident in the broadcasted version of Five Faces of Darkness.
