Optimus Prime (Michael Bay pentalogy)

Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots from the Michael Bay Pentalogy of Transformers. He is based off of the Generation One character of the same name from Transformers.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He has nothing what the original Optimus Prime had, or even any of his other prior selves had except being red and blue, transforming into a truck, having a mouthplate, having the window-style chest, and both of his actors reprising role.
 * 2) * Instead of being brave without killing millions, he is a complete hypocritical psychopath.
 * 3) Speaking of psychos, in Transformers 5: The Last Knight, he went off to kill Bumblebee after being corrupted by Quintessa.
 * 4) * Speaking of which, his action of going after Quintessa was pointless.
 * 5) Optimus Prime reacts about the other Autobots dying, yet he doesn't do a single thing about it except kill other Decepticons, and by a really bad extent, some humans.
 * 6) In Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, he proved to be sadistic and mean as opposed to wise and kind with the scene where he said "Give me your FACE!" at the end. Even at the start, he murders an injured Constructicon in cold blood.
 * 7) * Though to be fair, Bonecrusher was the only Decepticon he murdered in the first film, making him somewhat like his Generation One self.
 * 8) He is a hypocrite. He claims that "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" (Similar to his Generation One self), but he kills off a bunch of characters, even his own mentor Sentinel Prime despite the latter doing villainous actions as well.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was somewhat tolerable in Transformers (2007).

Trivia

 * 1) Although not the first live-action character to be on this wiki, Optimus Prime from the Michael Bay Pentalogy is the first live-action character that is based on a cartoon character to be on this wiki.
