Transformers general thread - Toy Robot men based on giant robots based on previously mentioned toys about said robots

Probably an unpopular take, but I think the best non-Peter Optimus voices are when the VA just does something entirely different and doesn't try to be Peter. David Kaye is my favorite non-Peter Optimus and it's because while he kept some of the vibes, he allowed his Optimus to be his own person with his own voice rather than an impression. Brian Tyree Henry killed it as Megs in TFOne for similar reasons, and we wouldn't have gotten gems like Jeff Combs as Ratchet and Jeff Bennett as Prowl if we didn't allow the VAs to spread their wings a bit and do something different.
I’ve wanted a Peter Weller Optimus for years, would really fit the more ruthless iterations like Coptimus. He’s up there in years so it’d probably be a once-off but I think he’d be great, that way Peter Cullen’s Optimus can be pivoted back to robot space dad and the audience who likes antihero Optimus can still have their fun.

“Into the Prime-verse.”

Or a G2-style action hero Optimus voiced by Stallone or Arnold, that would be kino.

The whole scene explaining Nightshade's pronouns is absolutely retarded as fuck and still is to this day, especially given the fact that these are giant alien robots that can turn into vehicles (and animals sometimes)
And there's a scene of zhem with a human kid that really, really comes across as groomer-y.
 
Arcee was originally Galvatrons brother, At some point Jhiaxus gave Arcee SRS as an experiment or something.
Yup! And even better, this wasn't portrayed as a good thing. The modifications Jhiaxus performed actually drove Arcee crazy.

If it was an allegory for trannies, holy shit was it a subversion of the narrative.
 
and then they had the bizzare idea later that arcee becomming female was needed to become her true self.
getting turned against her will.
going insane.
killing people.
