Optimus Prime

Hyper-detailed die-cast convoy.

You know, like, the sort of toy that you've always dreamt of in your mind's eye as this representation of Optimus Prime.

And then, I mean, this thing, because I happen to have little world's smallest convoy just here.

And, I mean, for people that haven't seen these...

Because the bum… Well, we'll come to… No, bumblebee.

Because bumblebee's tiny.

Bumblebees, actually, to be fair, yeah, I was thinking of the Optimus, but they do vary in size.

So yes, you're right.

Yeah.

Like Optimus Prime going down the street changes its look and feel to make a turn.

Like it's insane.

Seymour wants to know when we're done with F1, can we discuss underwear? Yeah.

It's actually from the right era too because that's about when Sister Act came out was when this was around.

We spent how many months on CCO talking about how the universes beyond are coming in and you're going to play Optimus Prime versus SpongeBob and now whoopee motherfucking

Goldberg is on a card.

So...

He has these...

He's got an Optimus Prime.

He's got a Megatron.

And I think a Bumblebee that actually transformed.

We're starting with the one shot which kicks off the whole thing.

The death of Optimus Prime.

Prime, you can't die.

Do not grieve.

The Death of Optimus Prime was first published on December 21st, 2011.

Has a cover date of December 2011.

Story is by James Roberts and John Barber.

And the editor was Carlos Guzman.

So I almost think of Transformers like NWA and Ric Flair.

And having Megatron survive but not Optimus Prime.

And I think of the others as more like WWF with Duke.

I liked Flint more but Duke was the guy.

uh in in gi joe my brother had duke and you know i ended up getting hawk later on i had flint but my brother had duke and on the cartoons he was pretty much positioned as the top guy and then uh you know but i had uh serpentor and and uh i had uh the cobra commander in the hood the mailway one

but my brother had the one

helmet and then In Transformers, I had Optimus Prime and my brother had Megatron.

So, again, it's like, damn it.

collecting sheds and putting them together and reselling.

Like Optimus Prime.

There was an episode of Trailer Park Boys where Bubbles has a bunch of sheds.

Shed forms.

power.

I am Optimus Prime.

And I send this message to the universe.

We are here at the prescription.
