So ... you're actually Scowl with a new and pretty outer shell?
Grimlock has his smart and sneaky moments in canon, albeit not as often in the cartoon. Besides, if you take the tech specs literally, he outranks Silverbolt [which makes sense, since he has seniority], let alone the other Aerialbots. And Hot Rod really ought to contain little germs of what made him Rodimus Prime. The Matrix may have given him power and wisdom, but it had to have something to work with first.
The Aerialbots, for all that I seem to be using them as a stick to beat themselves with recently, are a bunch of tossers three times out of five, especially without Silverbolt. Besides, if you take "Kup's Story" into account, Hot Rod is several hundred years old minimum. He's had time for life to knock the bratty corners off him.
