Only Orion Pax would wade through an army of professional killing machines, carrying an unconscious Whirl with him, just to scold the Senate.

And this is part of the reason the modern depiction of Optimus "Perpetually Stoic, Non-Contraction Using, Piece of Cardboard" Prime in any non-comics media is so terribly boring. Could you really see the Optimus of Transformers: Prime being this animated?

That, and Hasbro's idiotic mandate that he's the Super Special Chosen One, rather than Just Some Guy who happened to wind up being in charge and turned out to be pretty damn good at it.

An issue that had Megatron and Optimus Prime talking covered some of this. Don't recall the exact issue. Megatron asked Prime if he hated him and Prime asked Megatron what he really wanted.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Where was that when we had to serve the council because that's what we were made for?"

Worth pointing out the real world inspiration behind the inspiration: Tony Benn and his five questions

Can he go to Trump Tower with these questions?
