    lol 6 year old me was traumatized watching the movie and seeing autobots getting murdered left and right so they could introduce new characters and sell new toys

      Prime dead and now a cool car guy is a minivan? I hated him because optimus was my favorite guy.

      But the movie made me wonder what prime was before he had the leadership maguffin. A pickup truck? A smaller box truck?

    Okay okay, I laughed, but let’s remember that ‘Prime’ is the honorific title given to the leader of the Autobots when they receive the Matrix of Leadership and become a conduit for Primus and the memories of the Primes who came before. /pedant

    My personal headcanon is that his name was Optimothy before he became Prime. Long live Rodimus Prime.
