The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime

Time for a bit more Transformers fun. The 1980s animated Transformers movie was intended as a launch point to reinvigorate the toy line with new characters. Along the way, they killed off heroic Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, at their darkest hour.

In season three of the 80s TV series, the writers brought Optimus Prime back to life at their even more darker than darkest, darkest hour.

Transformers lost it’s charm after that. But thankfully there’s YouTube. This is a great re-imagining of how a *confused* Optimus Prime might have been trying to get up to speed with all that had happened since his death.

(Warning, the language get’s a bit coarse at times, but it’s worth it.)

Enjoy…
