'Be Strong Enough To Be Gentle.'

I do not own any clips or audio used, I'm only making this as a tribute to Peter Cullen and his legacy as Prime. All rights to original creators and owners.

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.

Whatever Optimus turns out like after Transformers One, I hope Peter can look at him and see Larry in him.

Peter is the voice of Optimus and Larry is the spark

"If you cant picture your Optimus as being strong enough to be gentle, you are not writing Optimus, you've written a homicidal Megatron in a truck costume."

[Himax]

Megatron's greatest asset was always his confidence: when he takes the field to command you, you will be more afraid of him than of the enemy.

Optimus Prime's greatest asset was his empathy: When he takes the field to command you,

You fear nothing.

Well… there is a reason why everyone loves him more than actual Hollywood heroes… and I understand that now

I heard chris hemsworth met with peter cullen on how to play a young optimus prime i like to think peter gave the same speech to chris on playing orion pax

[boi]

Superman and OP are the faces of hopemaxxing. Don't change my mind.

[zahaanazam]

the whole time at the start i was thinking, "hey peter cullen's impression of his brother sounds kinda like Optimus prime."


then he said that larry cullen's voice was the inspiration of his optimus prime voice

[ThomasKubera]

Prime is more than a hero. Prime is a leader, a mentor, a friend, and more importantly a kind and strong soul.

Nah but optimus prime is such a good hero character, probably my favourite of that genre. The line "megatron must be stopped, no matter thf cost" sums him up so well. He's a reluctant warrior who fights *for* others rights, not to oppress them. The fight is necessity, not a choice.

[DinoLoverGaming]

I like how you can always here a little bit of Optimus in his default voice

[blueknightmv]

I wonder how many people will notice the Man of Steel soundtrack in the background

[caffeinedelusions]

And that's the thing. That's why Bayverse Prime didn't click in the end. Bay's take on Prime forgot how important it is to be gentle when you have power.

"be strong enough to be gentle"
bayverse prime: your head will make a fine addition to my collection

"I'm going to turn into a truck now"
For real tho, how great is it that Optimus was brought to life specifically by the Cullen brothers of all the people? Without them, the character wouldn't be the same.

He also gave another good saying which has stuck by me since I first heard it… “Gentleness is not leniency. It is the absence of cruelty in discourse, and the use of compassion in judgement.”

And this why Transformers fans love Optimus Prime. The REAL Optimus Prime😎

[kaih_the_viewer]

1:31 it was on that day, that a hero and father figure to many was created



And his name was Optimus Prime

[AbysmalRandomnss]

Hope some of yall younger folk now understand why we love some of the original characteristics of the original transformers
Especially Optimus Prime
