All of this while still being selfless to the point of self destruction. Also, he beats up Skywarp using his own severed arm as a weapon and I think that's just great.
@@DinoLoverGaming I mean, there was that one time when Optimus lifted an entire OIL TANKER over his head and then threw it onto Megatron. And another time when he threw a satellite into orbit.
The Transformers comics are almost universally the best written TF media. Some of the stuff in the first IDW continuity with Megatron realizing he'd become the very kind of monster he originally revolted against is just incredible. It's so weird to think that these characters were originally made just to sell toys and nowadays a comic writer can pull some genuine, real emotional characterization with them.
Optimus sitting down and having a chill conversation. It's... nice. You can get a nice feel for him before the battles begin. The "Calm Before the Storm".
I don't like fights, because someone eventually gets hurt, I wish that for nobody, but it's often not a choice we have, if we do nothing someone else will get hurt so we put ourselves in harm's way because we choose it to be rather us then anyone else, we can take the pain but we can't take seeing others in pain.
I feel like individual human beings aren’t given enough credit when it comes to encountering an alien. If it isn’t obviously hostile, I think most of us would just try to communicate and be less freaked out than expected. Like, “okay… there’s aliens now… guess I should see if I can help it or something.”
So rather than meeting Spike and Sparkplug on an Oil Rig under attack by the Decepticons, Optimus meets Spike because his home was within the Mountain Ridge where the Ark Crash landed.
it is true it not the Gen 1 continuity but. every continuity will have. different beginnings even thu some of the original gen 1 has stuck at the end of the day they met Spike and he Met Optimus prime .
@@juniorgunter7123 Bayverse Optimus Prime is not exactly the best version of the character. At least other iterations of Optimus Prime didn't lose sight of their ideals, despite literally going through the same situation of war going through their own planet and forcing them to continue the war on another planet with another species getting involved. Don't bring Bayverse Optimus Prime into this comment section.
I loved how these comics/videos show Optimus’s softer side and how much he cares about every being no matter their size. Even willing to try and forgive characters like Megatron or hoping no matter how slim that hope is that Megatron or others like him will change their ways.
@@austinharvey7644that’s exactly what the live action version was for Optimus. He was a bloodthirsty maniac who wants to kill every single decepticon in the universe.
This is probably the MOST wholesome moment I've ever seen for Optimus Prime. It captures one of the most important aspects of Optimus, his compassion for all life.🥹🤧❤️🚛
This was the moment I knew this comic series was gonna be on of the best. Showing Optimus at his strongest, is showing his humanity and compassion. That’s the Optimus prime I grew up with.
An amazing continuation, I really like how you do Prime's voice, its soft and friendly, exactly how I think he should sound. And StarFishVO's role as Spike was solid!
All the Transformers movies combined couldn’t even do one fraction of Optimus Prime’s character in this short vid. And while I know the Bumblebee movie and the Beast one wasn’t done by Micheal Bay, it still has his stink on it in both story telling and design of the characters.
Eh I think the bumblebee movie designs did a pretty good job of differentiating themselves from the Bay movies. RotB is a little closer but still a littler better
I think we should have different versions of Optimus and what we're getting is cool. Yes, Skybound returned to the roots of G1 and that's good, as some have said, we haven't had a soft Optimus for a long time, but to say that we shouldn't have more...morally gray Optimuses is wrong. Let there be many options and people choose what they like best. I personally ike both.
I like to think that Optimus, whenever he has free time, is a nature lover; of course, he learned to be careful, but still I love the trope of a giant robot admiring nature, this gives off heavy Iron Giant vibes; both stories also feature a dead deer, showing how fragile organic life is compared to themselves, a harsh reality but one that must be protected
This is exactly the kind of stuff I want from Transformers. I love great action, cool robots transforming into vehicles, but I also love moments where the characters can breathe/process stuff, think, and feel things. Learn about each other. No perverted sex jokes, no stereotypes, no obnoxious dialogue, and no characters acting like brats.
It would be cool if this version got amimated one day. They just need to make it clear it's for the older fans. Don't want kids seeing the stuff Starscream does.
I had a friend who was 63 years old who Saw transformers with his son when he was a lot younger and he always said that Optimus Prime was such a strong name. He couldn't have been more right
I never thought I would like Optimus Prime with a computerized voice. Normally I reserve that for Soundwave since he was the only one who had a computerized voice across the Franchise. But it suits Optimus in a way.
I loving this comic as a lot as a transformers fan. Optimus is so caring and I love his curiosity and how he just sits down to talk to spike with stuff about earth. I really like stories that do things like this.
I love how you can hear influences from all the major voice actors who are considered to be the best picks for Optimus: Peter Cullen, Gary Chalk, and David Kaye.
heartwarming video, to the core I loved this so much, a breath of fresh air for the Autobot leader. I'd hate to be a shill in a beautiful rendition and interpretation of such a genuine moment, but if you ever need a VA, I don't mind providing services. I don't expect or desire compensation, I'd just love a chance to work on something like this. if you require samples, I encourage you to inquire. thank you so much for your time, and as always stellar work!
Oppy is such a Chad , so sweet and lovely , I want to comfort and care for him .Also , the reality of Deers not dodging vehicles is yet again demonstrated even when the Vehicle is sentient . God , I wish there were more Transformers First Contact fanfics .There was like one good one and it dissappeared .
I loved the comic dub that u did. Well done. And man, I love this Comic series so much. The only thing that I would like to see change is the less robotic voice. To sound more clean, not human like but be a clean robotic voice, like on Transformers Devastation Game voices. Anyways, keep it up mate. :)
Having grown up with the original cartoon, I was expecting Optimus to be voiced by an AI mockup of Peter Cullen. :o Ironically, I met Peter at Cybercon Expo in NYC on July 30th, 2005. Got him to sign an animation cell from “The Return of Optimus Prime Part 2” that I got with a DVD set of the original series. Cool guy. :D
Never got a chance to meet him, but he is someone I want to meet in person really badly! A real childhood hero for me and a big reason why I got into voice acting in the first place!
This is cannon to me You cant change my mind I wish shows would do this more often. A nice conversation between to characters in either comfort or pain just helping each other get through stuff. (I know shows like that exist, but i want more of them to be like this)
Comparing this Optimus to the live action one is like night and day. The g1 Optimus was strong yet preferred to be gentle yet the bay verse one says to everyone “freedom is the right of all sentient beings while killing everyone in his way” it’s refreshing to see a Optimus like this
This Optimus ripped his damaged arm uses it to beat the living shit out of skywarp, obliterates reflector using Megatron's arm cannon, and slams frenzy to the ground.
We really need another transformers series like Transformers Prime, because I feel like that is the BEST series that shows Optimus, that and maybe older Transformer series's
Me: "What the!? Eww! Ewwww! Wash your hands bro!" Optimus: "This poor de.." Me: " Fuck em' deer! Those things need to learn. Every other animal has figured some way to adapt but deer? They're just plain bitter. Blood thirsty." Optimus: " It seems like you really hate deers man."
The latest comic series really has absolutely nailed Optimus. Strong enough to be gentle.
got to give the comic credit in being realistic with the transformers and being what the 2007 film was trying to me but also being more of a Prime style story
That phrase is the reason Peter Cullen remains the definitive Optimus Prime.
in that sense, G1 Optimus the strongest one there is
All of this while still being selfless to the point of self destruction. Also, he beats up Skywarp using his own severed arm as a weapon and I think that's just great.
@@DinoLoverGaming I mean, there was that one time when Optimus lifted an entire OIL TANKER over his head and then threw it onto Megatron. And another time when he threw a satellite into orbit.
Optimus has known nothing but metal and fire for centuries, Earth's environments must feel like walking on a blanket...
Cotton
More like cotton
Superman: Yeah, tell me about it...
Like a bull in a china shop.
It kills me that Peter Cullen has to read lines like “I’ll take off your head!” but he doesn’t get to say this
Give me your face

I personally wouldn't mind it if he said that while playing a villain, but not as Optimus.
blame michael bay for that.
Shattered Glass Optimus would work with those lines

Meeting a giant sentient alien robot only to sit down and have a casual conversation with him is 100% relatable.
That be on the bucket list for sure if they was real
That’d be me honestly. Maybe from shock out of the situation.
I feel like individual human beings aren’t given enough credit when it comes to encountering an alien. If it isn’t obviously hostile, I think most of us would just try to communicate and be less freaked out than expected.

So rather than meeting Spike and Sparkplug on an Oil Rig under attack by the Decepticons, Optimus meets Spike because his home was within the Mountain Ridge where the Ark Crash landed.
The cons still attack where his dad works though. That's how Sparkplug encounters his first transformer
it is true it not the Gen 1 continuity but. every continuity will have. different beginnings even thu some of the original gen 1 has stuck at the end of the day they met Spike
and he Met Optimus prime .
I don’t see where exactly he was wrong at, sure it’s an over simplification of things but it’s not like it was malicious
@@OogaBooga24723 go outside

This is the type of hero Larry Cullen would of wanted his brother to have voiced in our television or the big screens.
And then he beat the shit out of skywarp with his own broken arm and obliterates reflector using Megatron's fusion cannon.
@@saldzbob9972 Yep.
Reminds me of Iron Giant when he learned about death, threw deer and hunters.
Optimus is more, remorseful. If he were physically able, I'm certain he would have cried.

You perfectly summed up optimus' character in this comic.
The Gun that did not want to fire, nor be a weapon
But Megatron does.
Glad to see Optimus Prime value life and I like his conversation with Spike.
And surprisingly calm of seeing a giant alien robot

This is quite literally the best interpretation of Optimus and the autobots in general. Skybound has nailed it perfectly.
or at least the best in recent years. G1 is sill the best

This morning moment for Optimus is just... Breathtaking and I love it
“Be strong enough to be gentle” is what Peter Cullen’s brother told him as advice when playing optimus
Optimus stepping on a deer
_"Sorry, ma bad..."_
Optimus is basically our robo druid/paladin hybrid
That turns into the barbarian when he gets pissed
@@captainvanghn rage but within mercy!
Optimus’ characterization is so good!!
This was the moment I knew this comic series was gonna be on of the best. Showing Optimus at his strongest, is showing his humanity and compassion. That’s the Optimus prime I grew up with.
This is why Transformers should always end up interacting with humans in their story. They really bring up the humanity, for best and worse.
I am so happy how Optimus Prime is characterized so far
Behold Papa Prime, heart of gold and plot armor of something that no nuke can destroy.
People aren't talking about how great that Spike portrayal is.
Spike is to calm about talking to optimus so casually like this 🗿💀
An amazing continuation, I really like how you do Prime's voice, its soft and friendly, exactly how I think he should sound. And StarFishVO's role as Spike was solid!

Unfortunately the movies will always be about action. But that's why comics exist. They can go at this pace and develop the character more.

Prime's voice literally puts the effort to show he is capable of emotions and mistakes. That is just so good.
Perfect dub of a perfect vision for Transformers
A really nice video showing Optimus is time on earth and his experience with something so different than his usual way of life in Cypertron
Spike's voice reminds me of Michael Cera and I can kind of see him voicing Spike!

One issue. This is from one issue of this series, and it paints the perfect picture of Optimus Prime. This series is so good for so many reasons.
