i’m getting a lot of hate for one of my original text posts and while i’m glad that people are sharing their opinions all the “OP youre dumb” and “OP plz die” stuff is super unnecessary. shame on you for dragging Optimus Prime into this!!! he has done nothing to you ever except i don’t know protect your whole freakin planet?? can you ungrateful mudmunchers at least show the esteemed leader of the autobots the respect he deserves??? 

ever wonder how they came up with the name for Deathsaurus?

like “listen guys, we have one leader whose name literally means ’the greatest second to none’  and one whose name is a play of ’million tons’. we need to find another kick-ass name!”

“i know! how about we combine ‘death’ and a ‘Tyrannosaurus rex’?”

ingenious!” 

The various Optimus Primes I’ve seen

IDW Optimus: somewhat out of touch robot dad, has no idea what’s going on and makes poor life choices.

G1 Optimus: laid back young robot dad, probably secretly encourages his kids picking fights with Old Man Megatron next door.

Beast Wars Optimus: post-college student and his gang stranded on a weird planet with the neighbors from hades. Also sort of raising the group Kid Brother, Cheetor.

Transformers Cybertron Optimus: ok I was like 12, all I remember is basically “Oh for the love of Pete, what’s Hot Shot gotten himself into now?”

TFA Optimus: “Wait what I’m a dad? When did this happen and why am I in charge of all these kids? I’m a kid too?”

TFP Optimus: Serious robot dad, has seen a lot of bad stuff and is not going to let any of it happen to you. Always ready with some good fatherly wisdom. Just don’t threaten his charges in his presence.

RiD 2015 Optimus: older robot dad, kids all grown up and he’s trying to let them do their own thing but old habits die hard.

Bayverse Optimus: “Hello, yes, I have spontaneously adopted an entire military squadron and a few jittery teenagers. Come near my kids and I’ll literally tear your face off.”
