Alpha Trion

Uh.

Alpha Trion-

Per-

... look at you.

Yeah.

Nothing to say? He's got, like a, like a hook, um, thing.

He's, like, he's stripping of the metal off of Alpha Trion.

Yeah.

Yeah, but the actual Prime Master toys, the little dudes themselves, none of them actually...

You'd think the simplest thing to do would be to have them in the deco, the... especially ones that people know, so, like, Alpha Trion, Vector Prime.

Hmm.

Solus.

The, again, the Prime Master mode is just unpainted with, uh, like pink diamonds on, which is like, oh, okay, fair enough.

Yeah.

That's Alpha Trion.

There's no w-

I have Alchemist Prime.

I have Alpha Trion.

And I have Micronus Prime.

So those are the other four I have.

But, I mean, you could argue, I guess, Prime is dying, so it doesn't change.

But also, whenever he changes from Orion Pax and is made by Alpha Trion into Optimus, you could say that he gave him the Matrix at that point, which seems quite ridiculous, right? So it's just like...

Then my question becomes, like, do the Autobots know that the leader changes when you get the Matrix? Because then Ultra Magnus would be like, oh...

Why did that

achieved.

Three youthful Cybertronians ask a not-quite-so-elderly Alpha Trion to tell them a story.

Tell me a story.

There is some debate over just what kind of story until an elderly Ironhide shows up, so the kids head out to get ready.

And if it weren't for Ironhide showing up to do a little bit of reminiscing, I don't think I'd care about this issue at all.

What's interesting is that the original plan was to have Bumblebee be the surviving veteran.

But since Alpha Trion was also there and Ironhide had a connection to Alpha Trion.

And honestly, we think Grizzled War Veteran Ironhide just fits better than Bumblebee.

Uh, the first is from the official Transformers YouTube channel, and it is the Journey of Optimus Prime.

And effectively what this is, is it's a over, uh, three hours of G1 episodes starting with, uh, parts of War Dawn, all three, uh, More Than Meets the Eye episodes, the original trilogy, uh, Heavy Metal War from season one, The Search of for Alpha Trion for season two, uh, a couple of very limited pieces of the Transformers movie, the uh, uh, specifically the fight between Prime and Megatron, Dark Awakening from season three, and both parts of the Return of Optimus Prime at the end of season three.

Uh, so these are, for the most part, full episodes, and you can watch them straight through.

Uh, and it's, uh, effectively a retrospective of, uh, episodes that defined Optimus Prime.

Personally, I think you need a better writer that actually knows the material better.

Because as much as he says he knows the material, as much as he says that he grew up with G1 and he's watched the cartoon, maybe he needs to watch The Secret of Alpha Trion again.

or something because he needs to, not saying he needs to copy that, but he needs to see how her character was so he can then craft his own version of it to make it like what you just said, to make it work again, to return to Optimus Prime, to have Optimus and Alita actually have a conversation between the two of them.

And at first, when you started talking, my first thought was going to be, oh, well, just reveal herself to be a Decepticon all along.
