“I am tired of little things getting in my way”

[lythronax]

The Bayformers Prime within him was never gone, he was just simply dormant, waiting for the chance to gain control and kill again

*Optimus:*
"Turn off my pain inhibitors"

[ziemniakkilll]

i just love how the prowler theme is so great in memes, just a masterpiece and all that daniel pemberton did in spiderverse scores, fits many things, other franchises as well

[godzillamonarch]

Bro optimus with human eyes is terrifying

[MichaelChristol]

the only time Optimus has an excuse to be a murderous psychopath

[Propaineva]

Bayverse Prime in his mind: Grant me full control 😈

[girvitza]

For real, when they killed bee I was shook in the theatre. Bumblebee has always been a fan favourite, especially for me aswell, growing up in the 2000’s seeing bay’s version of films depicting Bee too, was just insane to me but then they brought him back and I was happy

the last line has to be one of the greatest optimus lines of all time

[Mariewolf_]

as someone who grew up w/ the original Transformers when they were just toys and cartoons (and i think comics, i cant remember), Optimus has always been the calm, reverent and calculating leader of the Autobots, protective of his team and allies (human or otherwise) but i dont recall ever seeing or hearing him genuinely angry before. T:RotB shook me to my core to see Optimus be closed off and distrusting to anyone outside his circle, and then seeing his outrage towards Scourge for killing Bee ("First I'm going take back Scourge's key, and then I'm going to take his head...!") made me feel a shiver down my spine. it showed a completely different side of Optimus that seemed ooc based on my previous experiences watching him, but thats not to say i didnt enjoy every second of it. it made me love Optimus all the more because it made him more human and relatable. yea, Optimus was always a badass leader w/ respectable morals and beliefs, but this recent movie made him more human and i love that

This has that same anger energy of Fall of Cybertron Optimus when Megatron called Bumblebee a waste of energon after shooting him with a cannon

[mintysaurs]

After binging all the Bayverse films right before seeing ROTB, this Prime felt very tame. A cold calloused soldier when the time calls for it, but he still holds his honor above all and empathy for humanity and his fellow Autobots. Kinda like an old tired war vet dad robot only skeptical of the world because he knows how dangerous it is which is just what I wanna see. I like this Prime more. It feels more true to character while still keeping the more darker/intense storylines the live action films shoot for

[Tyrannosaurus_rex.]

I didn't even think for a second they weren't gonna bring bee back.

[purpoggerseditz]

Bayverse prime wouldn't let that slide

[theriolulad]

When you make a person who's whole thing is to not kill unless absolutely necessary kill you with rage in their eyes, you fucked up

[xharerae]

new Prime's first head decapitation, Bayverse Prime would be proud.

[J.VN]

Good to see that they preserved a little bit of the lunatic Bayverse Prime I grew up with.

[Mariodash]

I absolutely love this meme of Bayformers Prime being this "Beast of Darkness from Berserk" type presence in all the other Prime's in the franchise. Just a being of pure, endless rage who tempts the more noble Prime's to give in and KILL.

[Orca]

Optimus to Scourge: "I rise, you fall!"

[greenwoods]

Killing off Bumblebee would have been a good move, hear me out. It would have made Optimus's battle with Scourge 10x more impactful knowing his rage towards him. Ofcourse it would have been devastating, but they could eventually find some way to bring him back in the next movie rather than him returning 20 minutes later.

[galvendorondo]

I wish Bee stayed dead in this timeline. Give others the time to shine, instead of just relying on the old favourites.
