Which looks better? -<Optimus Magazine Cover>-

[Mech_1000]

If Racthet is even around at the end of the movie!!!!! There is speculation that he might get killed.

Does that mean wheel jack replaces him?

[ARCEE^_^]

what are you people talking about?
ratchet isn't going to die!
but Ironhide will!

[Trailbreaker]

What makes you think that?

[ARCEE^_^]

well all the bots that don't seem to be talking that much and doing much seem to die!
if you don't count the D cons.

[Trailbreaker]

Umm, Ratchet didn't talk all that much.

[ARCEE^_^]

see ratchet might be next!

[Grapple]

I agree, the first pic showes off some battledamage and feels a bit more genuine. The other one doesn't say ROTF at all.
Besides, for some reason the second pic makes me think about the least Optimus Primey pose of all time:




Safety dance/Breakdance Prime.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Indeed it's bad. I always likened it to a "Well hey thar little lady, I'm Optimus Prime!" pose. Like he's bending over to talk to some human woman at her level, and introduce himself like a cowboy.

I've always kind of thought of Optimus as a bit of a cow boy!
with the two pistols and he acts like the sheriff but with a bit more fire power taking out the baddies!

His voice actor Peter Cullen sure is!

he does drive a semi and a hard bargain

[Shadow]

i cant wait to see if Cullen will be Primes hologram like in the first issue of Alliance.

[ARCEE^_^]

His voice actor Peter Cullen sure is!

I knew that already and I don't see why anyone on the forms wouldn't!!!
(except Blind Bandit )

[megatron42]

i asked orci if he is.. bob said he might be in an easter egg

[Doomofman]

Has anyone noticed that they chanced the angle of his pose on the Empire Mag? Look at his legs, they are slanted to the right.

Looks like maybe he's leaning against something....

[ARCEE^_^]

Looks like maybe he's leaning against something....

maybe Shadows head!

[xana]

maybe Shadows head!

Oh c'mon now. Shadow's head isn't that big.

A youngster like you and Trails wouldn't know this, or at least it wouldn't be obvious to you, but the original theme of Optimus Prime was quite timely in its own way. Much of his nuances are modeled after John Wayne, and the music from the original seasons of the cartoon is thematically representative of the sweeping epic orchestral music from American westerns that the writers of the shows and makers of said music grew up watching.

Not the theme song, but the scoring of the shows. With sentimental string and horn sounds taken right out of a western. It's an obvious connection, with Optimus as the John Wayne archetype of the whole show. His colors are essentially red white and blue, he's tall, his voice and accent are very heartland-of-America, the list goes on.

So of course he's a bit of a cowboy. I just don't know about that pose

Damn Grapple, I can almost hear Lee Greenwood singing..."I'm proud to be Cybertronian...."

Actually, I did know that.

I stand corrected. You're a true credit to your generation my friend.

[Trailbreaker]

Thanks.

Ever since I became a hard core fan after the movie (it more or less jumpstarted me cuz I was a fan of Armada back when I was little) I became very eager to learn every nook and cranny of the franchise so long as I have access to that info. (comics I have yet to read because I have never been to the comic book store)
