“That’s a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.”
Optimus Prime - The Transformers: The Movie (1986)
I love the fact you can recreate the same sad expression from the movie at the perfect angles for this figure. That wise sort of sad.
I always saw that sadness and question as a compassionate sadness, I feel as though Optimus was really trying to reach Megatron in that scene. For a moment, he wasn’t just trying to fight.
This scene right here is my favourite in the whole movie. To some, this might not be super exciting, it’s just a question… right?
But to me, this scene sums up who Optimus actually is at his core.
He Is “Strong Enough to be Gentle”.
The quote by Larry Cullen that inspired the voice of Optimus Prime. Peter channeled the voice of his brother and that phrase. This moment is my favourite example of those ideals.
