robots in disguise!

Okay, we have known this character as the leader of the Autobots on the “Transformers” the movie. And we will be looking deeper at Optimus Prime this time. There few things you don’t know about him and you can only get closer to who really he is if you read this blog. 

Optimus Prime is the famous autobot who transforms himself to a conventional Peterbilt cab on its car state. Optimus was supposedly wearing the Generation 1 vehicle but the film chose the old version which is more powerful and more masculine. His features do not include the Saturn oxygen sensor but the large cab implicates the huge authority of Optimus Prime towards his fellow Autobots. His exterior car parts are covered with red flames painted on his blue cover.

Optimus Prime is the biggest autobot among the five characters. Viewers have this impression that Optimus Prime maybe a little in between 30 – 45 years on human age. His voice was given life by Peter Cullen, a Canadian personality who also narrates in the Voltron series. Cullen also was featured giving voices to KARR in Knight Rider, Winnie-the-Pooh’s Eeyore, Bomba and Antor, Dino-Riders’ Gunner as well as The Pirates of Dark Water’s Mantus.

Optimus Prime also wears the toughest image in the film. On its robot mode, Optimus features red torso and blue legs. This chest is more emphasized by the windows of the cab. The air filters serves as his powerful shoulders while his head was the combination of the faceplate and the antenna. The faceplate opens and serves as his mouth. He is also handling a rifle and a blade that is attached to its right forearm.

He is also known to love human because he said, they are just like them once. He also revealed to Sam the real identity of his grand father and the relevance of his grandfather’s eyeglasses to the story.
