The Autobots face a dilemma of two primes.
One's real. The other fake.
It seems there is more to this than meets the eye...

Rest in peace to the REAL Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen. Till all are one.

In light of Peter Cullen's death, I just want to say Tom's G1 Optimus voice is impecable, more than just an imitation, really honours the legend.

I like how Starscream didn’t care about “Megatron’s” insults but drew the line at being called a BOTTOM and started breaking.

How to impersonate Prime: Know everything about the Autobots and their mission.
How to impersonate Megatron: Be mean to Starscream.

I'm convinced Tom, in his spare time, actually DOES scream "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME" whilst in the voice to keep himself entertained.

What I like about this vid is that... once you know about the twist, you realize everyone was just deliberately stringing Megatron along this entire time, wasting his time while their own plot goes off without a hitch. They're not being comically ignorant, they're intentionally screwing with him.

Love how Fake Megatron didn't be nice to Starscream, the Autobots knew that would be more suspicious.

I love the part where he goes,"I AM OPTIMUS PRIME."

@AC-sc2fv 1 year ago

I like the implication here that Megatron saw, what he likely assumed was a second imposter, and had to run with it as to not blow his cover

Glad to see Buttplug was able to slide back into the team and really stick it to the Decepticons. He really came from behind to uphold the honor of his family name. Hopefully he won’t have to catch any more crap about it.

I learned it on reddit by accident

The OGs know EXACTLY where that final question came from 😂

2:18 I knew it as soon as he said “leading a revolution”. Autobots weren’t revolting, they were defending Cybertron from the Decepticon uprising.

I love that Optimus apologizes for his mistake on Bumblebee's Birthday

I was the 2nd Optimus Prime, so technically I can actually say "I AM OPTIMUS PRIME"

Thanks for having me as Starscream in this masterpiece. No other person on the planet I’d shriek like that for except the incredible Thomas T Schalk.
