Regarding Optimus Prime

In the subheading on this blog, I mention Optimus Prime.

I want to make it clear that there is only one Optimus Prime I am referring to, and it is not the Bayified Optimus Prime that served as comic relief for the "real" (yeah-right-chortle-chortle) heroes like Shia LeBeouf in the movie.

The real Optimus Prime is the one who rolled out of the back of the big ship, transformed in mid-air, and started picking off Decepticons before he hit the ground. Not the one who knocked over flower pots because he didn't know how to hide. Even though his main attribute is camouflage.

It's the same way there's only one Megatron, and he's voiced by Frank Welker.

And Starscream can talk. And Bumblebee keeps his pants on.

Just so we've all got it straight.
