well said bro

​@@aleckto28Really bruh out of everyone a sigma commented😂

Well sayed main.

Sure, he's been voicing him for a really long time and he has a pretty intimate connection with the character, but he's just one person. It would make sense if he provided some input on how Optimus should act, but he doesn't deserve to have full control over how he should be. No one does.

​@@hoover6291He should have quite a bit. I'd even say the majority of input, but that's fair.

Well he IS the original, he was the one that forged the persona of Optimus Prime over the years. I think that if they had made as if he was being influenced aside being hunted and having his friends and followers killed mercilessly, then it would stand to reason that he would say that line, plus be as violent as he was even towards humans.

Peter is optimus so he would know optimus the best for being optimus

He does

True... but it does sound badass

.

Based on his brother?

@@mrfox7776yes his brother , Captain Larry Cullen , United States marine corps. His brother was a marine captain who served in Vietnam .

​@@mrfox7776His brother for him was his hero, someone noble, brave and thus he based that Optimus voice on him.

"I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON! and DID YOU FORGET WHO I AM!" Optimus Prime "GIVE ME YOUR FACE! and I'LL KILL YOU" Optifaker Prime

And the result of that 1 battle is the exact reason why he comes back in the next movie, and he’s a completely different character. He’s now battle hardened and completely fed up! As kids, we were somewhat blind to the reality of the ACTUAL threat of the decepticons. But now as adults who have witnessed the events at the turn of the century, the Reality is, as a cartoon robot, Optimus was a gentle loving autobot leader. But in reality, he’s a killer.

YES bro! Like Starkiller's actor! 😁😁😁😁

Michael Bay only understands explosions and tits.

@@cortezlucious95Sam Witwer knows his Star Wars. It’s cool to believe that when he shows up as Maul he always corrects the mistakes that the team makes like when they were originally gonna use the Phantom Menace lightsaber for the Solo cameo but he told them to use the Rebels version or Darksaber. Hell he even corrected Dave Filoni on the fact that Anakin’s mom met Padme

Top 2 80s-90s heroes, whom your mother would like. Optimus Prime Goliath

And I personally feel like Optimus would only take killing if it’s a last resort which never happens unless the enemy is stubborn enough to ignore Optimus’ warning or telling them to stand down If I had to take a guess, I bet the line Peter was referring to was the new Beastwars bc sure Prime was still new to this “leadership” thing in the movie since it takes place after Bumblebee but hearing Peter talking as Optimus abt killing the enemy or even getting revenge seemed so out of character even after Bee’s life was taken I just don’t know or understand why, but it felt wrong to see Prime in that light for me but it’s my opinion

“I’m going to take back the transwarp key and then…I’m going take off Scourge’s head.”

Optimus Prime would never say that he would only say 'I will fight them all' only Nemesis Prime would say 'I will kill them all'

at least in that moment that was a very clear reason for him to be that angry and say that.@@kevinarevalo4747

yeaah it gives me goosebumps every time, he lives and breathes optimus prime

I mean he has been working as Optimus for decades

@@angelothompson186 how long

@@padilla23 I mean he was the original voice for Optimus in the 80s cartoon so about 40 years.

The Optimus voice is based on his brother.

Yet again, something he would never say. The movies suck

Yep, more like animal cruelty

​@@SavedByGRACE360 tbh they should just end it with DOTM, it already had a Great ending

Due to the actual circumstances and character development hes received its kinda natural he would say something like that

@@xHollow. idk. I don’t think Optimus in any medium would force anyone to fight for him. Or kill them if they say no.

So basically Bayverse Optimus Prime

​@@justnoob8141the best version

In the words of his brother, be strong enough to be gentle.

I can feel that I grew up with an optimus that wasn't violent and killing was the last option

I thought that too.

Bruhh when Prime said that in TF2 I was like damn he frl said that after he mercilessly destroyed the Fallen💀💀💀💀

​@@anthonysalinas-candelero9978 Dude put him new home at risk. He wasn't having that. Yeah, Megatron just EXISTING on Earth is a threat, but Optimus would rather put up with his antics rather than this singular threat from the past. That was horrifying

@@anthonysalinas-candelero9978 For real 😂 Dude hit the Fallen with the meanest combo and line in probably the whole series and then proceeded to punch his heart out and crush it in front of his face

I think it's just all of the lines in the Bayverse where Optimus is saying some heinous shit when killing Decepticons.

But he also voiced Optimus Prime.

I LOVE NETFLIX

the lines a certainly blurred as Megatron once said 🤣 Autobots are so savage in the movies it's sometimes hard to tell the difference.

​@@matttheradartechnician4308is that Netflix series good? I tried the first episode and it was super jarring when I was expecting Peter Cullen but got some other guy😂

bayverse prime: i missed the part where that's my problem

@@dustinakadustin transformers prime?.. they took half of the episodes off Netflix so it’s trash

Well, Prime wàs filled with rage, he was trying to protect the ones he cared about. Would you not kill for your family?

He's basically the Mark Hamill to Transformers' Star Wars. And I guess Orsen Wells and Leonard Nemoy were the Sir Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing to Transformers' Star Wars.

@@antoniogalio4960A lot of people would

I'd get it if he provided input on how to have Optimus act, but it would be unrealistic to just go along with everything he says. No one's perfect. Besides, he seems to mostly just have a good understanding of G1 Optimus.

He is a Prime

and then we get bayverse optimus who seeks to violence whenever he can. Nowhere close to prime just a psycho murderer

@@Warlord_Megatron good

​@@Warlord_Megatron ok don't talk shit. By the time part 4 came out he had taken all he could take of the humans Bullshit. In 3 he had been thru too much so he stopped sparing decepticons. Nobody cares about the kill rule. Y'all making him out to be more serious than batman's no kill rule

@@ZarrarAAli None of you would have said the same thing if the movie was about a psycho ripping apart a human's head. Freakin hypocrites

@@Warlord_Megatron bro what. I'm literally saying calling him a psycho for killing enemies IS unfair and bullshit

Mwu ha ha ha haha ha ha haaa

Fun fact; the phrase “I’ll kill you” in the Bay movies is used more times by Optimus Prime than it is by Megatron…

Nemesis Prime

Exactly

@@aidenboyle3573 Well to be fair that’s mostly just because Megatron has barely any screentime compared to Optimus. But yeah…

Some comics indicated that the violence of the war may have effected him badly.

True true I get it.....but then again wouldn't be the same if I were to find out humans started to kill all autobots, all my friends and family getting killed one by one by every human after saving the world 3 movies ago...don't get me started on Ratchet

Why do you hate halloween

Michael Bay's Optimus is pretty much injustice superman

@@ryth-2401 Kind of funny they both came out at the same time and got a good amount of pushback for different but also similar reasons too.

No that's josh whedon actually

Well yea he's a director who doesn't have to listen or do anything the studio tells him too....theres like 3 directors who can go over their own studio

" i signed the contract with my nuts" - Michael Bay probably.

​@@ZarrarAAli both

A man who grew up with violent diarrhea and made it a career.

There have been moments where he's flat out said he's going to kill someone (usually Megatron). And those lines are always delivered with the utmost disappointment that he failed to find another way

@@TheKyrix82 Yeah but he’s more disappointed when it comes down to that! If Prime could turn Megatron back with his words, he would!

@@henrygambles3652He tried. And, in the end, he got what he wanted. I mean, it took having his corpse possessed by Unicron to do it, but Megatron gave up on conquest

I completely agree

Yep

True but Bayverse Prime went through alot compared to the other versions of Optimus so I get that Prime is a little unhinged in the movies, after all its all in the writing of these movies

@@anthonysalinas-candelero9978 yeah, you have a point.

In a moment of heat emotional thoughts I'll kill them all is some what understandable. G1 Optimus Prime did have a temper. He didn't show it often. But give me your face was the line that bothered me.

He gave in and said the line though; for a paycheck

"Give me your face" was right for Bays Optimus Prime. Seeing as this is loosely based on G1, it's nearly impossible to imagine G1 prime saying this. Still sounds cool as hell though. I understand why the director wanted it in the movie

Tbf, his own brother was what basically inspired how he would portray Optimus. He doesn't UNDERSTAND the character. He IS the character alongside his brother.

Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime! Without Peter Cullen, there is no Prime!

​@@thekansasjayhawk3504 Yes!!!!!

​@@dj11o9er yeah. that is correct

yeah, and I bet Larry Cullen wouldn't say "I'll kill you all" or anything that is considered a verbal threat in person, if he were alive today. Peter Cullen wouldn't want to make his own brother sound like a serial k1ller or something like that, too, so he felt uncomfortable with it, since he knew his brother too well.

I agree. That is the one moment that fitted the situation. But not in any of the other ones where Optimus says something like that.

@@xenglaris1638 Yeah, that also doesn't fit him. It feels weird to hear him say that.

For sure. Optimus has been betrayed and almost killed along with the rest of the autobots so he’s super stressed and worried about human contact.

​@@nikkimabanlongeval601it fit the scene, they killed ratchet and we're melting him to use for their own technology to create their own transformers

​@@ultradeathboyTbh i would had killed them all but you know what Optimus did he destroyed the equipment and told the others to leave no one didn't get hurt or died. And the last part of the the movie when Optimus was fighting Lockdown he had to kill the fed to save Cade and yet people are like why did he kill that human he broke his code or that is not what he would had done. Like just from hearing them say that just pissed me off.

Yeah it's not optimus, but it fits with murder prime

I mean the Bay movies are garbage so, yeah, it fits.

@@annehaight9963 are they though, I mean the last two should have never been made, but the first three, 👌

@@kthomasvideos8001First THREE??? Did you forget that the Second one is the worst??

It feels like Optimus after he had enough

Okay no cap sussy baka

It's like the old adage: "Beware the wrath of a meek soul."

As pure as he is...? Umm... let's ask the decepticons ghosts how pure he is

@@Kat_MacGrathI feel like he’s meant to be more realistic and that’s why he changes. He’s reacting to the world around him: the deaths, the betrayals, the disrespect, etc. I think he still holds very strong to not downright abandon humanity despite all they did to him

Me too lol

Exactly no one seems to get that, movie primes gone through a lot, he went to war with his brother, lost his mentor, his planet died, his 1st lieutenant died, he lost the one thing that could bring his home back, literally died (which to be honest could have been very traumatic mixed with coming back to life) got betrayed by his mentor who killed his best friend, watched his planet turn to space dust, was betrayed by his human allies and hunted, found out they killed his other best friend just so they can use their corpses to make mindless drones that are trying to replace you, tried to kill his only surviving member of his original team and finally watch his planet die for a 3rd time. I'm pretty sure most if not all optimus primes would change after that

I'd be too if they tried killing autobots whilst fighting for the Allspark, finding the Matrix to use it to destroy sun's, or invade Earth and fking up Chicago and planting pillars to reform Cybertron over and over again lol

​@@jordanwebster4170 that's the best answer I've ever heard...I almost forgot about some of those things knowing that I haven't seen the bayverse movies in forever....especially tf4 and 5 oh man💀💀💀

Same

@@jordanwebster4170 Most Optimus's have gone through all of that, some even more so. IDW Prime had to fight a war that spread across the entire galaxy for 4 million years compared Bay Prime only fighting on 2 planets for a few thousand, or Armada Prime after fighting for millions of years stepped down as leader cause he saw he had become unworthy of being leader. There's no thought put into Bay Prime's character by the writers. It was just "what looks/sounds cool" and so you have Prime acting all SG Prime-like in one scene and giving a speech about freedom in the next with none of the characters seeing a difference or issue between the two. It would be like when writing MCU Cap they had all the characters look to and treat him like MCU Cap but the writers had him talk and act like the Punisher and never brought any attention to it.

I often see the two of them compared to eachother, both absolute legends that can never be replaced

I wonder if they ever met?

Funniest thing is how Optimus and Batman have the same italian voice actor and he fits so well for both! It's a shame in Italy the bayverse Optimus had another VA

Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime just like how Kevin Conroy is Batman RIP Kevin Conroy

There is a comic book where the motherfucking T-800 Terminator rigs the Ark with cybertronian explosives and obliterates 90% of the Autobots while 5 or 6 of them are away fighting the Decepticons. This is after Optimus and the T-800 formed a truce to band together and defeat the Decepticons. Did Optimus go on a Terminator killing spree? No, he somberly laments their death, and quickly brings up the morales of the few Autobots still alive.

Ratchet's death always saddened me and Iron Hides. They didn't deserve that 😭

Agree!

​@@MedbreadScrew that

Randos will still justify bayverse prime. Bayverse prime was a disgusting blood hungry monster at best and NOWHERE close to a prime. And anyone who says that he's gone a lot more than anyone else is just a pathetic person trying to defend lame bayverse prime. bayprime didn't go through anything else than what others have gone through. loosing their friends and family members to the hands of someone he once considered a friend. That's what every single prime has gone through. STOP DEFENDING BAYVERSE PRIME. HE IS OBJECTIVELY THE WORST ITERATION OF PRIME WE HAVE EVER HAD. BAYVERSE SUCKS!

That whole movie should have never been made

In age of extinction. When Cade wakes him up he was like “ILL KILL YOU! STaY BACK!”

Nah that line is quite romantic

@@thegoodreylo4749 Wrong. Movie fucking rocks

@@Vyable__ It’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It’s the definition of horrendous.

Nemesis in TLK could have been the perfect opportunity for the writers to actually acknowledge the "moral decay" argument some fans have and had Prime not mind-controlled but having finally hit rock bottom, though that would also require TLK to have had good writers and a director who had to be bribed cause he wanted to finished the films with DOTM.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Whilst the line fit the tone of the film, I have to say your recommendations would've made it more epic. Just imagined the "We are still here." That would've been amazing.

well it makes sense for Prime to now be out for blood seeing the Decepticons and Sentinel absolutely level a city. Imo it would've been a bit cheesy for him to just pop up and be like "we were alive all along" like it wouldn't have fit the tone for the 3rd act of the movie

i think it's a perfect line for what just happened, this was like 5 seconds after seeing a decepticon vaporise innocent people trying to escape, so hearing prime say that gives me hope that the rest of the cons in Chicago doing the same thing will get their justice
