Optimus Prime's Heartbreaking Struggle To Live... #transformers #transformersone #optimusprime #megatron

[DanExclaims]

The comic is "Transformers" (2023 - ). Justice for Bee. Dies in chapter one, in like the first two pages...

Optimus refusing medical treatment until the rest of his people are fixed is the most Optimus thing I ever heard.

The brutality of Bayverse Optimus with the heart and care of G1 Optimus

[Fourtytwo]

Thing is, primes are not just bigger robots, they hold all the memories, skills, ideas of every prime before. Turning a libarian into a super soldier in seconds. It shows how skilled megatron really was, being able to go 1vs1 with a prime and making it a even match.

This Optimus has all of the compassion of G1 Optimus Prime and all of the brutality of Bayverse Optimus Prime

Bro I saw Optimus doing a suplex and had to call a penalty

This Optimus embodies the idea of "strong enough to be gentle" that was at the core of Peter Cullin's performance.

The best example of this is when he pushes himself to transform, despite his injuries, just to entertain a curious cancer patient.

He doesn't even know what cancer is, he just sees this little human who is obviously suffering from something and decides that any discomfort he might suffer is worth brightening their day.

[KodyCrimson]

This is easily one of, if not THE best, versions of Optimus ever. Extremely selfless with his soldiers, very gentle with organic life, and wanting to save all he can.
This is the core of who Optimus is. Regardless of if he's more like a dad who's behind the times in G1 or more stoic like Prime, you need that central pillar for Optimus.

If you go back and watch the G1 series’s first few episodes, a big motif through those stories is that the Autobots are a bunch of scrappy civilians fighting against a military power over an allegorical food shortage. They’re completely outmatched and overpower… except for wherever Optimus Prime happens to be. The Autobots have fighters, scrappers, brawlers, and some tough bots, but Optimus Prime is the only real soldier in their ranks. Plenty of people know who Cullen modeled Prime’s voice after. He’s basically characterized as a Marine who took charge and leads a volunteer army against a war machine (Cold War US v Russia allegory, am I right?).

Prime was the bulwark that held back the inevitable genocide the Autobots faced. In episode two, he single-handedly turns a defeat into victory after showing up at the last minute. Having Prime depicted as such an overwhelming force in this run of the comics triggers that core memory of mine as a child watching Transformers and being in awe of both Prime’s toughness and his compassion. For what amounts to the lead character of a 22-minute toy commercial, the bot was a hell of a roll model to a lot of kids back then. I’m glad to see the character being treated right. He’s not just tough as he also values life and strives with everything he has to protect it.

I like this run Starscream mercilessly squashing humans, bee dead, Optimus reminding everyone who he is it's great.

[star.master_cranium]

Optimus Prime is the “prime” definition of “That hero only hasn’t made you meet your maker yet cause he has a code”.

[Apoc_Bone_Daddy]

I hope Shockwave shows up and does his usual war crimes

[aaritmitra]

I feel like Starscream leading the Decepticons is the equivalent of having the most annoying kid in your grade try to lead your school's football team. Of course they're disorganized. No one likes Starscream to begin with so no one is going to follow his orders

[SuperbNachs]

That tear-off arm move feels like a direct homage to Gundam: The 8th M.S. Team

[fenrirsrage]

I really love that Skybound Optimus is a mix of both his kinder and more emotional G1 self but also the hardened one man army badass that modern depictions like to take. Its a really cool fusion.
Well that and well, he keeps using wrestling moves.

My headcanon was that Orion pax was a wrestler.

[JD-zpvn]

Optimus really be doing the EZ8 strat. Wack em with your own arm

[mrf]

That German suplex Prime gave Starscream was personal.

[calebminor]

This Optimus makes Bay Optimus look like a baby 😂😂

[LightGlyphRasengan]

Optimus will always fill me with pride in what a leader should be

[celestialecho]

Imagine fighting someone and they just rip off their own arm to beat you with it.

At that point if i saw that im quitting being a decepticon
