Optimus Prime (Michael Bay pentalogy)

Optimus Prime is the main protagonist of the Michael Bay Transformers Pentalogy ranging from 2007 - 2017.

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) His animated version was compassionate and entertaining. Now he's just boring and creepy.
 * 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: 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. He even killed Grindor by tearing his head apart. Before he did that however, he sliced off his right arm, used Starscream to almost kill Grindor by shooting him with a missile near the face (destroying his main rotors in the process), and throwing one of his swords into his left leg. Even at the start, he murders Demolishor in cold blood while the Constructicon is injured. He and Ironhide cripple him by shooting him and loosening one of his wheels respectively. This causes him to crash into a warehouse.
 * 7) He is a hypocrite. He claims that "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" (similar to his G1 self), but he kills off a bunch of characters, even his own mentor Sentinel Prime despite the latter doing villainous actions as well.
 * 8) His redesign in Transformers: Age of Extinction doesn't look like something that actually transforms into a truck, due to the lack of truck parts and looks nothing more than a stereotypical knight with smokestacks on his back.
 * 9) In Transformers: Age of Extinction he killed Harold Attinger who is a human, and any other variation of Optimus Prime like G1 or TFP(Transformers Prime) will never do such a thing.I know has trying to protect Cade, but still, he could blast the floor near him and take him of guard, but no he should shoot straight to him.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was somewhat tolerable in Transformers (2007).
 * 2) He is amazingly voiced by talented voice-over artist, Peter Cullen, who voiced him in the G1 series, the 1986 film, and nearly every series afterwards.
 * 3) His later Live-action incarnation in Bumblebee (2018) is actually a likable character, who is more accurate to his G1 incarnation.
 * 4) Him murdering Bonecrusher in the first film is actually justifiable, as Bonecrusher tried to hurt innocent humans.

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.
 * 2) The line "Give me your FACE!" became an internet meme amongst the Transformers fandom.
