When I saw the first Transformers live action film another Dad was sitting beside me with his young son, who was maybe five. When 🚛Optimus🤖 made his first on-screen appearance, the father jumped straight out of his seat - in a packed theater - and started shouting and pointing, looking back and forth between the screen and his son - saying over and over again, "Do you know who that is? That's Optimus Prime. That's my BOY! That's Optimus!" His son was confused and excited, but only because his father was so wound up. I will never forget that 30-something Dad transforming into a kid that day, the rest of the audience laughing with him. There are a lot of things they got wrong, but Optimus was spot on. I only wish you had some Peter Cullen footage to add here, because this is a wonderful explanation of the care that went into honoring this cherished character, and explaining why they made the compromises they did.

Want to guess what Paul Reuben did at the movie theater?

2:47 to make the movie as realistic as possible they hired an actual transformer to play the role of optimus prime

No, he said that with their current cameras, red was hard to capture clearly. Of course advancements were made by 2011, and that's why we got Dino.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer this look of Optimus Than his G1, bumblebee and ROTB counter part

I like the peterblit and the flames too and i don't know people why they hate the flames?

Not impossible but I heard that the cameras they used couldn’t capture it well enough but in the 3rd they used different cameras which is why you got Dino,lead foot and sentinel

They took a look at the G1 cartoon Optimus alt-mode and decided to go for something that resembled nothing like it. Smh

Guess what, numb nodes, Optimus was a black long nose truck in the 90's with a red gradient. In 2001 Japan he was a fire truck, then a long nose truck. Gonna cry about that too?

Most of those films are utter trash, but the behind-the-scenes team really gave it to all in the first film.
