Growing up in the 80's, Optimus Prime was my first hero. I've always believed in him and what he stands for: respect, freedom, justice, and compassion. He's been a role model for a lot of people who watched the show during the most impressionable years of our lives. I'm proud to say that I'm still a fan after all these years.
I know it sounds silly, but as a child, my number-one role model and hero was Optimus Prime. You could keep all your Marvel and DC superheroes. I had Optimus Prime! The world's greatest leader! Even if he is only fictional.
He embodied everything I believe about the world. He always makes the right decision, he always knows what to do, and he knows the value of freedom.
@Celdrach Hell, Optimus is still a hero. He's probably one of the most beloved and well known icons of the 80's, and he's still relevant today. Just look at the movies. Now even wider audiences can experience how amazing and inspirational he is.
Honestly, his speech at the end of the first movie made me tear up when I first heard it. After that speech I was looking forward to a sequel, because it was obvious one would.
I'm usually a Decepticon fan too...Optimus is just that amazing.
Wow, I was really moved. This is great and a fantastic tribute to Optimus. It reminded me of the first time I ever saw Optimus (like that). It was a great experience (sexually) and this video really reminded me of that (in my balls).
The thing that made Prime such an iconic figure, was that (besides being the robot version of John Wayne) he was selfless, brave, and powerful.
And the decepticons were terrified of him. And I think that is what the new movie lacked... Megatron never tried to go toe to toe with prime. He pretended to, then used his guile and sneaky bastard nature to try and get the upper hand on the more powerful Prime.
Dude, hats off that was beyond good. This song goes with Prime so much. Truly in this age of let down world leaders and worthless so called "stars" it isn't hard to see why someone like Optimus Prime is a Hero.
Ever scince I watched TRANSFORMERS Armada, Energon, Cybertron, G1, and the new TRANSFORMERS movie. OPTIMUS PRIME has been my hero and allways will be!!!!:);)XD
Optimus Prime is my hero!!!!!!!!!:) Ever scence I watched TRANSFORMERS Armada,Energon,Cybertron,G1,and the movie.....OPTIMUS PRIME HAS BEEN MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Dasjustprime you'er talking my lingo. Everyday I have this strange fealing that Optimus Prime and all of the other Transformers could be out there some where in our galaxy. And that the TRANSFORMERS movie could actully happen.XP
The Optimus that kinda look like the G1 Optimus...the fat one, it looks like a rather bad drawing! I hate that one, it makes Optimus looks like a robotic Santa Claus!
Why people think Transformers is Japanese is beyond me. The toys originated in Japan, yes, but the original G1 show and comic were American. It seems like now Transformers is Japanese because of the Unicron Trilogy crap.
great hero, equally great music. unfortunately its original heroic backdrop was for the first SPIDERMAN movie 2002 and everytime i hear it I think of that great movie and music video. Yet if anyone can share Peter Parkers's stage.. its OPTIMUS PRIME!!!! Can't wait for the blockbuster and big ups for mr. peter cullen coming back to voice his alter ego.
i remember when he died in the movie i was so pissed off....and i didn't watch until someone told me he can back.(lo) cant wait for the movie gonna be a bunch of grown ass (KIDS) in th
An icon for the 80's youth, remarcable, the song is very wel chosen; it brings me back to those lovely days watching it; nice video, in mi opninio there is a very little lag (nearly unappretiable) between the classic optimus sentence and the beggining of the son... cool vid
Optimus Prime will always be rembered by the people that watched him, unfortunatly, this newer generation of Transformers is, in my opinion, cheap, and the newer generation of kids dont understand it like we did. Go Chief Convoy!!
i remember little kids crying when he died in the movie.but it was bittersweet for me as i was a massive megatron fan and was angry when starscream kicked him out of astrotrain.
Who cares what place Optimus stands for. All I know is that people all over the world Love Optimus and he should only stand for JUSTICE and Peace. PS Love the video.
The fact is that the Optimus Prime toy was originally a Dialclone toy named "Battle Convoy". It was a Japanese toy, not American, yet it had the same colours as the American edition, now dubbed "Optimus Prime". Had Prime landed in my native Hungary, he would be in the same R-W-B colour and not Red-White-Green...
I think it's just coincidence that the Japense when they were making the show placed them in North America and that a good deal of the episodes took place there but as already stated Megs was after the entire planet so calling Prime an "American Hero" is disrespectful, he's a hero to the world and should remain so. I was born in the US and proudly served in the U.S. Navy and Optimus will always be my childhood hero.
What are you talking about!!!!!???????? Calling Optimus Prime an "American Hero" disrespectful? Come on I think that's a really good name for him, besides he's red, white and blue with a little chrome. That's the U.S.A colors of the American flag. Besides , He came to America that way, So there!!!! :P PFFFFFFFFFFT
i like how he guns down the bad guy at the end... cartoons now a days always let the villian go then he gets up and trys to kill them... OP Wasnt Down for that Second Chance CRAP!!!
Rodimus was always a wus. He never could beat Optimus in a fight. In the Movie Optimus would take out 8-10 decepticans and Hot Rod thought he needed help?
After waching this video I realized what made Transformers so great, it had no politics. Sure they landed in the US, and were based in Nevada, I think it was. But think about this, they weren't Americans, and the Dicepticons weren't aliend with Russia, or any other Cold War foes. It was a simple bad guys vs good guys story. That is why everybody loves Optimus Prime, because you could imagine he was fighting Megatron in your own back yard.
You are so correct. Its just that you don't realize it when you're a kid. Even though it was more his personality and character that won the fans over.
Prime landed in America and started kicking ass. Thats why he's a Great American Hero. Just like when the English Came here. Yeah the Deceptacons may not be Russian. But they were trying to fuGG up America, and OP Didnt Play dat SH!T!!!
Sorry sn1, but as much as you yanks like to consider yourselves the WORLD your not. Megatron was trying to destoy the entire planet. Check out the episode from season one where megatron tried to bring Cybertron to earth. The Autobots could have just as easly landed in British Columbia or in the USSR, or anywhere ells, and they would have fought just as hard to protect people from the Deceptacons.
that was FUCKING AWESOME!!! I salute you for your video, I have tried to make one tons of times but eveything i came up with was an insult, this video truely captures the essence and soul of our hero optimus prime and all he sacrificed for his fellow autobots.....the following is my ratings...please make more....
Song Choice : 10/10 (awesome fit!)
Clips Chosen : 10/10 (dont care bout quality, still kicked ass!)
