Optimus Prime is one of those universal hero characters. He manages to be both incredibly cool while also being a true figure of heroism. He's one of those untouchable characters. Kids were crying and leaving those theaters when he died. Peter Cullen refused to voice Optimus in a Robot Chicken sketch because he couldn't bring himself to make fun of the character. The falseflag attempts in this tourney didn't go anywhere either. You just can't do that to Optimus Prime, man. I won't be mad if he bows out to Daffy, but I still want to carry him as far as he can go just like in 2023.
