Optimus Prime Incarnate

I arrived at Berbelith as a curious bystander, read a few posts, became drawn in and eventually (after debating whether or not my contribution would be scoffed at) posted a few replies.

I began to get a 'feel' of the place & decided I liked it, even though there seemed to be a definite percentile of posts that I just didn't 'get'.

Optimus Prime.

"Who the fuck is Optimus Prime?", I asked myself, befuddled by Barbelith's apparent familiarity with said character. A few google searches turned up many pages relating to O.P., but notjing that I thought showed a true 'Lither's enthusiasm for their chosen subject.

Until, that is, ......

and

this.

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but is this guy a total nutter?

NO the man's a genius! In general I dont care who I'm fighting but I've seen enough cartoons to know Optimus Prime ALWAYS wins. So I won't fight Optimus Prime. The name alone strikes terror in the hearts of evil doers.

Had he changed his name to Strawberry Shortcake then, yeah, he'd be a nutter.

Hmmm, this guy has already come up on the board a few times. Found it more difficult to laugh off than Kegboy because, as the news reports presented it, this was a dumb kid that had problems as a young kid, who then joined the army and had developed more but was now given a gun and told to go kill people.

I'd be interested if there was any post-war catch up with this guy to see how many terrans he saved.

I think the most disturbing part of the story was when he left his battalion to die as he went off to retrieve Sadams stockpile of Energon cubes..sad..so sad.

The First Optimus Prime thread.

A fire engine with a giant Autobot symbol does actually rock pretty touch, but it has to be said that it seems like the guy is a tad disturbed.

I remain far more terrified that a general at the Pentagon not only recognised the reference but took the time to write to Oppy telling him how good it was to have the leader of the Autobots and the side of the Americans. Presumably this was a bit of light relief in between writing to an awful lot of Latino soldiers telling them how great it was that the US Army had Jesus in its ranks, and to Barnsley FC to express his pleasure that Moses is still keeping his hand in.

Optimus Prime ALWAYS wins.

With the notable excpetion of, y'know, that little skirmish in Transformers: The Movie where he GOT KILLED.

Although it must he said he has a pretty good track record for someone who regularly Fucks With Megatron.

And when he insisted on having his body blown up and, as far as he knew, his life terminated when he killed some innocents....in a VIDEO GAME.

Fuckin' idiot.

And as we all know, you don't fuck with Megatron!
