lol 6 year old me was traumatized watching the movie and seeing autobots getting murdered left and right so they could introduce new characters and sell new toys

Childhood trauma wound reopened. Thanks.

Well I don’t see any Decepticons around, but plenty of sins. Prime 1 Christ 0

Can’t even say “Merry Optimus” anymore.

Let’s put the Optimus back in prime day.

Okay okay, I laughed, but let’s remember that ‘Prime’ is the honorific title given to the leader of the Autobots when they receive the Matrix of Leadership and become a conduit for Primus and the memories of the Primes who came before. /pedant

My personal headcanon is that his name was Optimothy before he became Prime. Long live Rodimus Prime.
