Why wasn't Rodimus Prime, from the 1986 Transformers Movie, a monster truck?
Did Hasbro just not like enormous piles of money, I mean, what?

and it magically appears and disappears
The Matrix of Leadership forces you to hitch up a trailer. I'm not sure they would've known how to handle a monster truck... truck.

in 1986 weren't monster trucks still in the drunken redneck demographic
off-topic I am slightly surprised my spell check finds no errors with drunken redneck

like holy shit the movie gives him 40 different sizes in 2 minutes
How would one handle a monster truck trailer? It'd sure have to have big wheels, of course, but what else can we do to a trailer to make it worthy? Flamethrowers? Maybe have it actually be another Autobot in and of itself? Have it actually not be a closed cargo trailer but like a howitzer or something?
Also now I am thinking about Astrotrain and how scale and consistency count for nothing, so we have plenty of room for imagination here.

Rodimus Prime was the most massivest dick in the universe. Way to murder Optimise then steal his crown loser. Somone deep in the bowels of Hasbro knew this and purposefully sabotaged his design.

Rodimus Prime is a stupid head, and you are a stupid head for ever suggesting he could be cool.
Even as a super rad monster truck. Besides, that would be infringing on the Monster Truck Patrol.

Fact: Hot Rod was rad as hell, there was no good reason at all that he had to upgrade into a robot that sucked ass.
And - the Monster Truck Patrol who were all Micromasters? Fuck those guys forever and fuck whoever came up with that sick, sick joke.
