About this video: I wanted to include the War for Cybertron and the Fall of Cybertron scenes, but I figured it'd be OK if I didn't. I got every important and wise quote from Optimus I could, including; "There's a thin line between being a hero, and being a memory." "Every sentient being possesses the capacity to change." "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." "'Till all are one." And most importantly, "I'm going to turn into a truck now. Brch church cha chuck-a-ding-ding, chrch. Pack it up, pack it in, let me back in." Jokes aside, I love Optimus Prime, and I figured I should give him a tribute in some way.

@@blox_buildz I mean it definetley had it's flaws, but I still think for what they did, it made sense why Optimus turned out the way he did. 'Cause lets break it down. Optimus' story before going to Earth is likely exactly as it was in the main Transformers canon. He and Megatron had this HUGE drawn out war that ravages their home planet to the point where EVERYONE is on one side or the other, fighting over what little resources of Energon they have left. And they fight for years. Having to be the strong leader, always making sure to have a level head and look out for others, must be taxing. And then we get to the second movie, Optimus has been training ever since they won in the first movie, so he's READY. The surprise that Megatron is alive doesn't really faze Optimus, just pisses him off, likely because he thought he was free from megatron at the end of movie 1. A trailer full of weapons, training on how to use them, and to top it all off he has the advantage over Megatron because Megatron isn't used to his new bulkier and slower body. He gets Megatron alone in the forest, kicking his ass the whole way there, until Decepticons come to back up 'ol Megs. Then they start beating on Prime, and Megatron literally sends him flying with a canon shot. Up to that point, because of Optimus' sense of mercy, he wasn't going all out. Even when he was fighting Megatron alone in the forest before Grinder and Starscream show up, he wasn't. It isn't until that moment when he spits, that he realizes it's do or die time. Protect Sam and get out of there, by any means. He drops his mercy, and goes full on Murder-blender on them, killing Grinder. And even after all that, still gets stabbed and killed by his oldest enemy, who he thought he was free from, in front of Sam. In Optimus' last moments, he learns he failed. The worst thing about being the hero who sacrifices themselves for others, is never learning whether or not your sacrifice actually meant something. So yeah, when he is brought back, he changes. Changes to the point where doesn't hold back anymore. He fights with just as much desperation to win and ferocitiy as the Decepticons do. Death shakes him to his core, and changes him forever, as I think death would because death does change people. Whether it be us experiencing death from losing a family member, or being someone who is declared clinically dead but brought back, it changes you. It has to.

I like to think of gentleness as strength governed by love rather than an inability or unwillingness to use strength.

In one of the TF Prime episode where team Prime have to bring Starscream as prisoner, he said that whatever intel Starscream had can be valuable (to team Prime) to which Bulkhead asks if Optimus gonna let him in, with exposing the secrets of team Prime's base, joining Prime's team, and all that To which Optimus said "however unlikely that scenario, every sentient being deserve an opportunity for redemption" Arcee interjects, asking if that also applies to other bots who killed others like Airachnid. He resumes with "without that hope, we may never achieve lasting peace" He aware that even someone as evil as Starscream or Megs, he still saw that there's a chance for them to redemption or even a change, like what Prime said at the end of that movie (Beast Hunters). He address concerns when Ratchet cooking some syntethic Energon, even tho they're running low and he saw the boost/effects, he questions Ratchet's decision and how it could impair one's judgment He comforts Arcee when he saw she had score to settle with Airachnid. He said that "it was physical wound that heals the quickest..." and told her that wisdom cant be achieved willy nilly, but you must earn it, even sometimes there's a cost to pay. "Wisdom cannot be granted Arcee, it must be earned. Sometimes, at a cost."

I’m an adult now, like literally just became one and for some reason I’m really into Transformers all of a sudden 😭, but there’s something about it that just fascinates me. The characters, the messages delivered, and most of all.. Optimus. He is so different from most heroes in media we see. He is this huge robot who’s got monstrous strength and these deadly weapons of war.. but he is so unfathomably kind and truly wise. The REAL kind of wise, someone who isn’t arrogant, someone who really wants to help others through something, someone who has a giant heart despite being made mostly of metal. Optimus is the ideal figure for a leader and what they should be. Kind, wise, deeply sympathetic, selfless, he is without a doubt one of the best characters in fiction, and he inspires me as of today, and he, and mostly his voice actor Peter Cullen, make me strive to be someone better.

I love how Peter Cullen gave us the voice of Optimus prime, But I think Larry Cullen inspired the heart of Optimus prime

I would kill for a DC/Transformers crossover comic or movie, because I'd love to see how Superman and Optimus get along. They're two of the most pure heroes in fiction; good men, who are strong enough to to be gentle, strong enough to be kind.

Optimus Prime never had to act like a tough guy, he was just the strongest and best without having to be a meathead.

Peter Cullen's voice defines Optimus Prime. Other talented voice actors have been good, but I think most will say they wish to emulate Cullen's strong, but gentle voice of leadership. And additionally, credit to Frank Welker for being a perfect foil to Cullen in voicing Megatron.

Larry was taught to be Megatron by the army, but learned to be an Optimus after his service in Vietnam. I hope he recognized how he was used for a senseless war and taught Peter to be a better hero than he was.

My fandom isn't rooted in any one particular incarnation of the franchise (dated animation or not, Beast Wars is my favorite on-screen interpretation, but other people may feel differently, and that's cool), but in an appreciation of the toys, and an understanding that, despite its origins as a way to sell those toys, there are characters and ideas inherent in Transformers that allow you to find something in it that appeals to you if you want it to. And an ENORMOUS part of that is what Peter Cullen's work as Optimus Prime lent to the whole thing. What makes Daniel Warren Johnson's TF book at Image so immensely satisfying as far as adaptations go is that from issue one, when you see his Prime and read his dialogue all you hear is Peter channeling Larry saying "Be strong enough to be gentle". NOT Peter being told to read lines like "Give me your face!" against his better judgement.

Full body chills when he first did the voice

The music is appropriate since Optimus Prime is the Superman of the Transformers and Peter Cullen was born to play that role! I haven’t known a hero so perfectly hopeful and inspiring since Christopher Reeves as Superman(Cavill got a bad deal as he could have been those things but didn’t get the writing to show that)!

"Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." When a normal character says that kind of line, they're talking about the civilian cost, the collateral damage, or giving up the moral high ground. When Optimus Prime says that line, he's talking about the personal cost, what he's willing to bear for everyone else who can't.
