Weekly Question – Best Optimus Prime 01/21/16
I think I should have outsourced this one as I am not as versed in Transformers mythology as I am in most other things. But I’m attempting to do my due diligence as this week, we’re asking you to pick the best version of the lead Autobot, Optimus Prime:

As my researched continued, there is a continuity where the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are evil, which fascinates me to NO END.

I like the Optimus from the animated movie with the death and swearing the best. HIs fight with Megatron still gives me da feelz
I said the same thing – Peter Cullen voiced Optimus Prime from Transformers the Movie is my favorite Optimus.
