Here’s the truth. Optimus Prime is better than a superhero. He’s a hero who happens to be a super-sized robot. He doesn’t wear spandex. He wears metal.
He fights for freedom, not for glory. He’s a symbol, not a celebrity. He’s a leader who bleeds blue liquid. And he’s a role model for anyone who’s ever wanted to drive a truck that defeats evil.
So, is he a superhero? Yes. But he’s also a semi-truck with a soul. And that’s way more fun to talk about. Now go watch a clip of him yelling “Roll out!” It’s the best hype speech ever recorded on alien magnetic tape.
