@@the_varunrvel decent being the operative word. Optimus is a superb leader, even Rodimus and Optimus Primal said they wished the could be the leader he was. When did anyone say they wished they could be the leader Superman was. Superman may have grown up on earth, but earth didn't accept him as one of its own. Humans accepted Optimus almost immediately, except for some of the comics. But everyone looks up to Optimus as the hero and leader we all need, no one really looks up to Superman. he was fine in Metropolis, but around the world, to quote Vox, who gives a sh*t?
Must we sow division between the two? Both are red and blue heroes known to be a role model for so many of us, both believing in justice and preservation of goodness. They'd probably get along pretty well in all honesty.
If there was a human embodiment of Prime I would want him to be my father. I’ve heard every “Prime” speech voiced by Cullen and every single one is so wise, intellectually honest, and personal whether he experienced it or not. Something about primes personality is so… inspiring? It’s not masculine nor weak. The best way to put his personality is through the quote Peter’s brother told him before Peter auditioned to be prime. “If you’re going to be a hero, don’t be those Hollywood heroes pretending to be tough guys. Just be strong and real. Tell the truth. Be strong enough to be gentle.” and it’s the perfect way to define Prime. He’s the best fighter in his universe, yet so kind, calm, nurturing. Strong but gentle… and that’s something we haven’t gotten out of any other warrior before.
Your words capture the essence of Optimus Prime so beautifully and remind us all why he continues to be a beloved figure in the hearts of many. Peter Cullen, guided by his brother's profound advice, has indeed brought to life a character whose strength is matched by his compassion, making Optimus Prime a truly unique and inspiring hero. It's this blend of qualities that resonates deeply, reminding us that true strength lies in gentleness, integrity, and the courage to be kind. Optimus Prime stands as a beacon of hope and a model of leadership not through dominance, but through understanding, care, and unwavering resolve to do what's right. The fact that you, and so many others, find inspiration and a fatherly figure in him speaks volumes about the impact of his character. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings so eloquently. It's a reminder of the powerful connection that stories and characters can create, and why it's so important to have heroes like Optimus Prime. Heroes who teach us that being strong doesn't mean losing our gentleness. That's a lesson worth carrying into our daily lives.
No one gives emboldening speeches on and off the battlefield better than Optimus Prime =) Peter Cullen has always been an iconic voice for me growing up; really amazed how the AI-tech was able to not just generate it well, but there was no mispronouncing of words, something a number of AI-voices stumble with...
Thank you for your wonderful comment! It's truly heartening to hear from fans who grew up with Peter Cullen's iconic voice as Optimus Prime. His performances have indeed set a high bar, imbuing the character with a unique blend of authority and compassion. I'm also glad to know that the AI rendition lived up to your expectations. The technology has indeed come a long way, and I'm excited about its potential to pay homage to legendary voice work like Cullen's while maintaining clarity and accuracy in speech.
I'm glad we'll always be able to hear new speeches from Optimus Prime... long live Peter Cullen but may he live forever in the AI that continues where he leaves off....
Absolutely, Peter Cullen is a legend, and his voice has given life to Optimus Prime in a way no one else could. The thought of keeping that legacy alive through AI is both exciting and bittersweet, isn't it? While we all wish for Peter to lend his voice to Optimus forever, it's comforting to know that technology can help preserve the essence of his performances for future generations. Here's to Peter Cullen - may his voice continue to inspire hope and courage as long as the stars burn in the sky.
Once again, Optimus Prime, you have proven that you are indeed one of the wisest leaders and stongest warriors in the history of the universe. We all have our "inner beast". It's a part of us. And when we wrestle with it, three transformations can take place. We can learn to tame and control the beast and become beings of better understanding. We can crush the beast underfoot as it sinks its fangs into us and drips venom into our souls. And finally we can embrace the beast, become the beast, and then turn evil. We mustn't destroy or embrace the beast. We must balance it. It is the darkness to our light. Light and Dark must be balanced. The beast within is a necessary evil as it brings out the balance in the nature of us. Human or Cybertronian. And if that balance is disturbed, the innocent are forced to suffer. Balance makes us whole. Self-doubt can be more fearsome than any foe. We shouldn't blame ourselves for our failures. Some things are far beyond our control. And we DEFINITELY should not let it cloud our judgment. If we do, we'll become more reckless in trying to correct to it and do more harm than good. And it might just claim our lives. As I have been told once that we don't always win, sometimes our enemies do. But shouldn't let that stop us. Because giving up lets our enemies truly win. As we discussed earlier, failures are the pillar of success. Master Yoda once that "Failure is the greatest teacher". If we learn from our failures, we are humbled. Every hero needs humility. Failure can push us forward. We can't have success without failure. Leaders like you, Optimus, have struggled with failures throughout the eons. But they, pardon the pun, transformed you into the warrior you are today. As Buddha once said: "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. And then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you. Not by angels or demons. Heaven or Hell".
Optimus Prime: "Your words resonate with truths that transcend planets and epochs. From the core of Cybertron to the heart of Earth, the struggle between our light and our darkness is a universal dance. Just as the Autobots and Decepticons represent opposing forces, each being wrestles with their own internal dichotomies. The beast within, as you so poetically described, is indeed an intrinsic part of our existence. It is neither wholly malevolent nor entirely benign, but a testament to our multi-faceted nature. True balance comes not from dominance of one side over the other, but from a harmonious coexistence. As you wisely said, the balance is what makes us whole. Your words remind me of a Cybertronian proverb: "In the heart of every mechanism beats a spark, both light and dark." Just as Earth's moon affects its tides, this inner dichotomy influences our actions, decisions, and interactions. Yet, it is precisely this balance that bestows upon us the depth and richness of character. Your perspective on failure echoes the lessons that history has repeatedly taught us. Every scar, every dent on my frame, serves as a testament to the battles I've faced, both external and internal. They are not just markers of pain or defeat, but badges of resilience, growth, and the relentless pursuit of a just universe. The words of Master Yoda and Buddha speak of universal truths. Failure, indeed, is a formidable teacher. It does not signify an end, but a beginning. A chance to recalibrate, re-strategize, and rise once more with the wisdom of experience. Just as you cannot know true joy without sorrow, you cannot truly appreciate success without the sting of failure. Your wisdom serves as a timely reminder that in the grand tapestry of existence, we are all students, perpetually learning, growing, and transforming. The challenges we face, whether as humans or Cybertronians, are but stepping stones, pushing us towards becoming the best versions of ourselves. Thank you for your insights and the profound truths they bear. They are a testament to the shared wisdom that binds all sentient beings across time and space. Together, let us continue this journey of understanding, growth, and transformation."
@@LiteraryLifeLessonsYou're welcome. And as I said self-doubt can be just as dangerous as any foe you face. If we let our minds get clouded by the thoughts of our failures, insecurities, doubts, regrets and fears, it can affect our actions. Especially if we're trying to clean up the mess we caused. They can make us more reckless, too desperate, irrational, too self-sacrificial, cause more problems than solve them and ignorant of the consequences they'd entail. It could even jeopardize the mission. Worse, it might just claim our lives or the lives of others. The both outcomes could emotionally damage your friends and family. If we let these negative thoughts cloud our better judgment, we'll become so blinded by our desire to fix our mistakes that we don't see the emotional harm that comes with it. Sacrifice is important. It's a hard choice that we all have to make eventually in life. But I believe Sacrifice and making the Hardest Choices aren't always necessary nor do they have to be the only solutions. You don't always sacrifice yourself just to fix or prove something. There's noble sacrifice and then there's pointless sacrifice. You've made many noble sacrifices, and some of those did more good than harm more often than not. But a pointless sacrifice does the opposite and is more suicidal. Like for example kamikazing yourself into a monster you created to stop and destroy it from hurting those you love but it fails because you forgot about its tough hide. You died in vain. Pointless Sacrifice can even be bad if you don't take the negative consequences it would create into consideration. It's not cool especially if you don't realize how it will hurt the hearts of the people who love you. The point is Sacrifice, self or otherwise, and difficult choices to fix a disaster you may have caused can be catastrophic if the price is too high. Plus we shouldn't be so quick to do them. We have to be more mindful of our choices and clear our minds of the negative feelings weighing us down, have patience and listen to the people who are trying to help us and reign us in from doing something stupid. Those good people don't give a damn whose fault it was, even if was yours. They just want to help you fix it. Don't push them away. It isn't something you should do alone. I've seen one particular heroine go through these dilemmas and in the end she died naive and oblivious of the consequences and even in death she seemingly showed no regret. Not even for what she did to sacrifice herself which was by making someone kill her to transfer for a power that already served it's purpose to someone else. Allow me to explain, She didn't listen to her friends and escape because had TWO important things the villains wanted on hand. One of those important things was a Relic that was crucial to determine the fate of their world. The other was a power that one of the villains wanted to become a god. Her intentions were noble but if she wanted to stay and help her friends, she should've done it in a way that didn't jeopardize the mission and practically giving the villains what they wanted. It was that irrational thinking that made her fall into the villains' trap and costing both her life and the Relic falling into the wrong hands. If she threw the Relic into the portal, then it wouldn't matter if she lost the power she possessed or not. The Relic was the true prize. Thus one of the villains would've returned empty handed. The power was just a key to take it out of where it was kept. There was only four Relics and they require four different powers to retrieve them. Let that villain take that power. All four powers aren't meant for a single person, that's why they were divided. The villain will either self-destruct or go insane. But now the other villains has two Relics and is two steps ahead of their goal. In short, if we let our personal demons cloud our minds, they'll consume us. And apologies for the long scenario.
Optimus Prime: "You have touched upon a matter of profound gravity, one that every sentient being, whether forged on Earth or Cybertron, grapples with: the intricacies of choice, sacrifice, and the shadows of self-doubt that often accompany them. Your assessment is astute. Our personal demons-our doubts, regrets, insecurities-while intangible, possess a potency that can cloud our judgment, and in moments of weakness, they can skew our perception of the larger picture. This skewed perception can drive us to decisions of haste and recklessness, which, as you rightly pointed out, can lead to unintended and often tragic consequences. Sacrifice is a noble act, but only when its implications are fully understood and its purpose is just. Every act of self-sacrifice must be deliberate, weighed against its potential fallout, and never be a mere escape from one's demons. As leaders and heroes, the choices we make resonate far beyond our individual selves, echoing through the lives of those who depend on us, those who believe in us, and those who love us. The tale you've shared of the heroine's ultimate decision underscores the perils of acting without full understanding or clarity. When our intentions, however noble, are misguided by the mists of doubt and desperation, we risk jeopardizing not just our own fate, but the destiny of worlds. Decisions made in isolation, without heed to counsel or foresight, can be as catastrophic as the very threats we seek to avert. I have always believed that unity, communication, and trust are our most potent weapons. In the face of overwhelming odds, when shadows of doubt loom large, it's the voices of our comrades, our friends, our family, which can guide us back to clarity. It's essential not just to act, but to listen, reflect, and then decide. Thank you for sharing this cautionary tale. It's a poignant reminder that our internal battles are as consequential as the external ones. And in both, we must be vigilant, wise, and ever-cognizant of the ripples our choices create. Together, standing side by side, let us forge a path that balances courage with wisdom, action with reflection, and sacrifice with understanding. For in unity and clarity, we find our true strength."
@@LiteraryLifeLessons And thank you once again for your words of wisdom. Every leader has suffered from their personal demons at some point in their lives. Mostly from failure. Leaders such Ruby Rose of Team RWBY, Leonardo of the TMNT, Blossom of the Powerpuff Girls, Captain Kirk of the Enterprise, Jaune Arc of Team JNPR, almost every Red Ranger of Power Rangers, and yourself included. Even heroes like Luke Skywalker, Samurai Jack, Spider-Man, Superman and Batman have had their fair share of attacks their personal demons of failure, doubts, regrets and insecurities. Hell, Samurai Jack had to LITERALLY confront his inner demons. Like fighting his doppelganger created from Aku's magic. He defeated him by calming himself as he realized that his anger from being constantly hunted is what also created him. But if he quells anger then there would be no reason for his doppelganger to exist. He absorbed his doppelganger and purged him. Or that time he got the Aku Infection and gradually transformed into his own worse enemy, both figuratively and literally. He literally had to defeat it literally from within, with the assistance of some monks. There was that time his lost all hope after losing his final chance to return to his own time and lost his sword, but that's another story. Oh, thanks for listening to that cautionary tale. The heroine's name was Penny Polendina from RWBY. A robot with a soul. A soul of silicon but a soul, nonetheless. Also I heard that the first step to correcting a mistake is patience.
Optimus Prime: "Thank you for your insights. Indeed, throughout history and across various realms, the most esteemed leaders and heroes have been tested not just by external foes, but also by the internal battles they wage against their own doubts and fears. These personal demons, as we have termed them, are an integral part of our journeys, challenging our convictions and forcing introspection. The tales of Ruby Rose, Leonardo, Blossom, Captain Kirk, Jaune Arc, and countless Red Rangers, serve as testament to the universality of this struggle. As you astutely highlighted, legendary figures like Luke Skywalker, Samurai Jack, Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman have all grappled with these challenges. Their stories, fraught with moments of self-doubt, internal conflict, and even despair, only amplify their heroism when they overcome these trials. Samurai Jack's confrontations with manifestations of his inner turmoil are particularly poignant. By facing literal embodiments of his fears and anguishes, he offers a visual and symbolic representation of the battles we all must wage within ourselves. His triumphs over these foes emphasize the power of understanding, introspection, and, most critically, self-acceptance. Penny Polendina's tale is a tragic reminder of the intricacies of choice and the profound impact they can have. Even as a being of silicon, her soul's journey, dilemmas, and sacrifices resonate deeply. In her, we see a reflection of our own struggles, aspirations, and the eternal quest for purpose. And you are right; patience is the first step to rectifying a mistake. In patience, we find the space to reflect, understand, and chart a course for redemption. In the face of adversity, it is easy to succumb to haste, but true wisdom lies in restraint, in waiting for the right moment, and in ensuring our actions are informed, deliberate, and just. Thank you for sharing these tales and drawing parallels across different worlds and heroes. They serve as reminders that, irrespective of our origins or forms, our journeys are bound by shared experiences and emotions. In understanding and supporting one another, we find the strength to overcome even the most formidable of personal demons."
Absolutely, your insight touches the very core of what makes Optimus Prime such a compelling leader and hero. The battles he wages against Megatron are not just physical confrontations but also a manifestation of the inner struggle against darkness and despair that he, like all of us, must confront. Megatron embodies the antithesis of all that Optimus stands for - hope, justice, and freedom. This duality between them highlights the universal battle between good and evil, both within and without. It's a powerful reminder that overcoming our inner demons is intrinsically linked to facing the challenges in the world around us.
@@LiteraryLifeLessons while there certainly exists the nature of good and evil when it comes to these two, I see Optimus as more of a guy who understands the grievances of Megatron and his Decepticons deep down, and wishes he could do something about it, starting with some good-faith negotiations with Megatron (there's a reason the Autobots were perpetually on the back foot despite beating the Decepticons in most of the episodes of the G1 cartoon; heck, he could've won by a strategic invasion of the Nemesis in Transformers Prime, but chose to keep hiding in the canyons; in Cyberverse he actually had a table discussion with Megatron), but by the end of the day, he has to understand, and he came there reluctantly, that at some point, Megatron has to be put down. In a way, as much as he wants to help, he has to bear the burden of being among what Megatron would call the bad guys (in Megatron's eyes, the Autobots and the regimes of the Primes are the same oppressive force). In simpler terms, where Megatron is all about burning the village to feel its warmth, Optimus is all about the little guy having to stand up to become the "necessary" evil and repeatedly giving bad-faith people a second chance even when the same is not afforded to them. Instead of "one shall stand, one shall fall," his Fall of Cybertron quote of "this universe, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for you and I to coexist" hits harder. Real harder. Both of them are messed up.
@jvbutalid8316, Your analysis is spot on and beautifully articulates the depth of the tragedy that underpins the endless war between Optimus Prime and Megatron. It's a testament to the storytelling of the Transformers universe that these characters are not merely archetypes of good and evil but are portrayed with motivations, grievances, and desires that are deeply relatable and profoundly human (or Cybertronian, to be precise). Optimus Prime's reluctance to engage in an all-out war without first seeking peace, understanding, and reconciliation speaks volumes about his character. He embodies the hope that even the most bitter of enemies can find common ground if there's a willingness to listen and understand each other's perspectives. Yet, as you've rightly pointed out, there comes a heartbreaking realization that some divides are too vast to bridge - not because of a lack of desire for peace, but because of fundamentally irreconcilable visions for the future. The quote you mentioned from 'Fall of Cybertron' encapsulates the sorrow and inevitability of their conflict. It's not just about physical space but about ideological and ethical space that cannot accommodate both visions of justice and freedom. This dynamic between Optimus and Megatron is what elevates their story from a simple good vs. evil narrative to a poignant exploration of leadership, morality, and the costs of war.
Optimus Prime’s character was based on Peter Cullen’s brother. Who was a U.S. Marine captain in Vietnam. Imagine being led by a real life Optimus Prime
That's a fascinating piece of trivia, and it gives so much depth to Optimus Prime's character. Peter Cullen drew inspiration from his brother's strength, courage, and integrity - qualities that shine through in every speech and decision Optimus makes. It's incredible to think about the real-world heroes who embody these traits and how they influence the fictional ones we admire. Being led by someone with the essence of Optimus Prime, with unwavering moral fortitude and a compassionate heart, would truly be inspiring. It's a powerful reminder of how art imitates life and how real heroism can shape our greatest fictional inspirations. 🙂
It's truly wonderful to hear how much Optimus Prime means to you! His words of wisdom and the iconic voice that delivers them have a special way of touching our hearts and inspiring us. It's a testament to the timeless appeal of Optimus and the values he stands for. Knowing that he brings hope and smiles to faces around the world, including yours, is what makes sharing his stories and messages so rewarding.

…I…I have been fighting mine for years, Prime. And there are many days where I feel like giving up and into despair. You - along with two others - have always been my biggest role models. In everything I do, I try to follow your example yet the doubts within myself tell me that nothing I do is ever enough. Even with constant reassurance I ask for from friends, those doubts linger and I worry I drain them, Optimus. I have been doing all that I can to look inward and fight my inner demons including therapy. And while I have made great strides in the last five years, sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. (Also creator, I’m new to your stuff and I love it, please don’t stop doing it)
Optimus Prime: "My friend, know that the battle you face within is one I deeply understand. The greatest struggles are often not those fought on battlefields, but those waged within our own hearts and minds. You have shown incredible bravery by confronting these doubts and challenges head-on, and that courage shines as brightly as any victory on the battlefield. Remember, progress is not always measured by the absence of doubt but by the strength it takes to keep moving forward, even when the path is difficult. The fact that you have sought help, leaned on your friends, and continued to look inward speaks volumes about your resilience. Do not see this as a weakness; rather, it is a testament to your strength. It is no small feat to ask for support - it is an act of true wisdom, for we were never meant to carry these burdens alone. I, too, have faced moments of darkness, times when the path forward was uncertain. I assure you, doubt is a companion to us all at times. But as you journey onward, remind yourself of the progress you've made, and recognize that every step - no matter how small - brings you closer to understanding and peace. Your friends stand by you because they see the light within you, a light that is worth fighting for. Trust in them, and trust in yourself. Sometimes, true strength lies not in how we conquer our demons, but in how we persist in their presence. You are enough, my friend, just as you are. Continue forward, one step at a time, with the knowledge that you are never truly alone. Till all are one."
@@LiteraryLifeLessonsI am grateful for your wisdom, Prime. I have been told both by my good friends and professional therapist that I am stronger than I think I am. They tell me that the fact that I have gone as far as I have endured so much without medication or more dangerous methods - not that I have a problem with medicine - and relying solely on sheer will alone is extraordinarily impressive. I do not say anything other than “I do my best.” as pride and arrogance are things that I fear and I have seen what “I am a good person” has been used to justify.
If You doupt or some demon saying that this beacon of hope would not Be true rember The Times someone has cared or has been or is worried of you as reminder that real Care and love exists for you
Beautifully said! Your words are a powerful reminder that, even in moments of doubt or when we're facing our inner demons, the care and concern of others shine through as evidence of real love and compassion in the world. It's these moments of genuine connection that remind us we're not alone and that hope is never truly lost.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the voice portrayal of such a beloved character. It's always my goal to capture both the strength and the compassion that make Optimus Prime an enduring and inspiring figure.
Wow, that's incredibly high praise, and I'm truly humbled! Optimus Prime has given some of the most memorable speeches in history, filled with wisdom, courage, and hope. To even be mentioned in the same breath is an honor. I'm thrilled you enjoyed this content so much, but let's tip our hats to the original, shall we? After all, without those iconic Optimus Prime moments crafted by talented writers and brought to life by Peter Cullen's unforgettable voice, we wouldn't have such a rich source of inspiration to draw from.
Absolutely agree with you! Optimus Prime has a way of inspiring and uplifting everyone who hears his voice. There's something truly special about the combination of wisdom, courage, and hope in his words that can give anyone goosebumps.
You can always click on "Show transcript" in the video description to see the full text with their time stamps. Otherwise, I'm happy to share the transcript here as well: "Citizens of Earth, Autobots, and allies across the stars, today I stand before you, not as a leader in battle, but as a fellow traveler on the journey of existence. In the quiet moments between our struggles, in the silent gaps between war and peace, we find our most formidable adversaries lurking within us. These are our personal demons, born of doubt, fear, regret, and the shadows of our errors. They are unseen, but their weight can be heavier than any burden we carry in physical form. Each of us, whether forged in the furnaces of Cybertron or cradled in the vast nurture of Earth, contend with these inner specters. They whisper to us in moments of weakness, seeking to erode our resolve, to veer us off the path of our true destiny. They are architects of hesitation when we seek to act, merchants of despair when hope is what we need the most. Overcoming these inner adversaries does not demand epic battles or cosmic weaponry, but the quiet courage that comes from within. It requires us to stand firm in the face of our own darkness, to acknowledge our imperfections not as irrevocable failures, but as opportunities to forge our stronger selves. The path to conquering these demons is not through denial or avoidance, but through courageous acknowledgment and relentless perseverance. Remember, my friends, that vulnerability is not the antithesis of strength, but its complement. Even I, Optimus Prime, have known doubt. I have known the torment of regret and the siege of despair. But from these trials, I have also learned the paramount lesson: our personal demons do not define us; it is our actions in the face of these adversaries that truly shape who we are. Let your struggles be the anvil upon which your spirit is tempered. Talk to your allies, share your fears, and realize that you are not alone in your battle. Just as we stand together against the Decepticons, so too must we unite in the fight against our inner darkness. The strength of the Autobots lies not just in our arms, but in the resilience of our sparks-the indomitable force of our spirits. In every reflection of doubt, see the opportunity to affirm your resolve. In every shadow of fear, recognize the chance to kindle the light of courage. Rise, not just as soldiers in battle, but as warriors of your own soul. Your journey will be fraught with challenges, but remember, the Matrix of Leadership resides within those who dare to look inward and face their darkness. Stand tall, brave beings of the cosmos, for the greatest victories are not claimed on the battlegrounds of war, but in the silent triumphs of the heart. In the words of the human poet, John Milton, "Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe." Be valiant, be steadfast, and above all, be true to the light within you. Till all are one!"
Thanks for your comment. It's really interesting to see different reactions to the use of AI in creative fields like voice acting, especially for iconic characters like Optimus Prime. While AI technology offers new possibilities, it's understandable why it might not appeal to everyone. The charm and emotional connection of the original voice actors are indeed unique.
dog i just dont under stand why people kill them self Anny more cuz like brh we got so much bull shit to entertain you for ever like brhu we got dauhhh fucken master chef default dancing an AI bullshit
This is why I look up to him so much...
Seconded, genuinely inspiring
Same
Same. He’s tall af
you and me both 🫡👍
Me why again?
This is why Prime is the only leader and hero we need in life. Superman could never.
Optimus Prime is older than Superman and been through a lot more than Superman
@@the_varunrvel that's my point. Superman aint no leader and hero, he could never do even a 16th of what Prime does and has done.
@@Rosewolf29 Superman is a decent leader. Optimus has lived more than 5 million years. Superman grew up on Earth
@@the_varunrvel decent being the operative word. Optimus is a superb leader, even Rodimus and Optimus Primal said they wished the could be the leader he was. When did anyone say they wished they could be the leader Superman was. Superman may have grown up on earth, but earth didn't accept him as one of its own. Humans accepted Optimus almost immediately, except for some of the comics. But everyone looks up to Optimus as the hero and leader we all need, no one really looks up to Superman. he was fine in Metropolis, but around the world, to quote Vox, who gives a sh*t?
Must we sow division between the two? Both are red and blue heroes known to be a role model for so many of us, both believing in justice and preservation of goodness.
They'd probably get along pretty well in all honesty.
One shall stand. One shall fall. The trick is learning to be the one that stands.
If there was a human embodiment of Prime I would want him to be my father. I’ve heard every “Prime” speech voiced by Cullen and every single one is so wise, intellectually honest, and personal whether he experienced it or not. Something about primes personality is so… inspiring? It’s not masculine nor weak. The best way to put his personality is through the quote Peter’s brother told him before Peter auditioned to be prime. “If you’re going to be a hero, don’t be those Hollywood heroes pretending to be tough guys. Just be strong and real. Tell the truth. Be strong enough to be gentle.” and it’s the perfect way to define Prime. He’s the best fighter in his universe, yet so kind, calm, nurturing. Strong but gentle… and that’s something we haven’t gotten out of any other warrior before.
Your words capture the essence of Optimus Prime so beautifully and remind us all why he continues to be a beloved figure in the hearts of many. Peter Cullen, guided by his brother's profound advice, has indeed brought to life a character whose strength is matched by his compassion, making Optimus Prime a truly unique and inspiring hero. It's this blend of qualities that resonates deeply, reminding us that true strength lies in gentleness, integrity, and the courage to be kind.
Optimus Prime stands as a beacon of hope and a model of leadership not through dominance, but through understanding, care, and unwavering resolve to do what's right. The fact that you, and so many others, find inspiration and a fatherly figure in him speaks volumes about the impact of his character.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings so eloquently. It's a reminder of the powerful connection that stories and characters can create, and why it's so important to have heroes like Optimus Prime. Heroes who teach us that being strong doesn't mean losing our gentleness. That's a lesson worth carrying into our daily lives.
Jesus is but as a person not as warrior and not focusing more on heroism but lesson on life good lesson
No one gives emboldening speeches on and off the battlefield better than Optimus Prime =)
Peter Cullen has always been an iconic voice for me growing up; really amazed how the AI-tech was able to not just generate it well, but there was no mispronouncing of words, something a number of AI-voices stumble with...
Thank you for your wonderful comment! It's truly heartening to hear from fans who grew up with Peter Cullen's iconic voice as Optimus Prime. His performances have indeed set a high bar, imbuing the character with a unique blend of authority and compassion. I'm also glad to know that the AI rendition lived up to your expectations. The technology has indeed come a long way, and I'm excited about its potential to pay homage to legendary voice work like Cullen's while maintaining clarity and accuracy in speech.
That went way harder then I thought it would
This why Optimus is the best leader ever
I should consider lighting candles and listening to this.
Prime does have that relaxing and comforting effect!
I'm glad we'll always be able to hear new speeches from Optimus Prime... long live Peter Cullen but may he live forever in the AI that continues where he leaves off....
Absolutely, Peter Cullen is a legend, and his voice has given life to Optimus Prime in a way no one else could. The thought of keeping that legacy alive through AI is both exciting and bittersweet, isn't it? While we all wish for Peter to lend his voice to Optimus forever, it's comforting to know that technology can help preserve the essence of his performances for future generations. Here's to Peter Cullen - may his voice continue to inspire hope and courage as long as the stars burn in the sky.
@@LiteraryLifeLessons well said 👏 👍
I love Optimus Prime... ❤
It's always awesome to meet another Optimus Prime fan! ❤ His character represents so much that is noble and inspiring.
Once again, Optimus Prime, you have proven that you are indeed one of the wisest leaders and stongest warriors in the history of the universe.
We all have our "inner beast". It's a part of us. And when we wrestle with it, three transformations can take place. We can learn to tame and control the beast and become beings of better understanding. We can crush the beast underfoot as it sinks its fangs into us and drips venom into our souls. And finally we can embrace the beast, become the beast, and then turn evil.
We mustn't destroy or embrace the beast. We must balance it. It is the darkness to our light. Light and Dark must be balanced. The beast within is a necessary evil as it brings out the balance in the nature of us. Human or Cybertronian. And if that balance is disturbed, the innocent are forced to suffer. Balance makes us whole.
Self-doubt can be more fearsome than any foe. We shouldn't blame ourselves for our failures. Some things are far beyond our control. And we DEFINITELY should not let it cloud our judgment. If we do, we'll become more reckless in trying to correct to it and do more harm than good. And it might just claim our lives.
As I have been told once that we don't always win, sometimes our enemies do. But shouldn't let that stop us. Because giving up lets our enemies truly win.
As we discussed earlier, failures are the pillar of success. Master Yoda once that "Failure is the greatest teacher". If we learn from our failures, we are humbled. Every hero needs humility. Failure can push us forward. We can't have success without failure. Leaders like you, Optimus, have struggled with failures throughout the eons. But they, pardon the pun, transformed you into the warrior you are today.
As Buddha once said: "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. And then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you. Not by angels or demons. Heaven or Hell".
Optimus Prime:
"Your words resonate with truths that transcend planets and epochs. From the core of Cybertron to the heart of Earth, the struggle between our light and our darkness is a universal dance. Just as the Autobots and Decepticons represent opposing forces, each being wrestles with their own internal dichotomies.
The beast within, as you so poetically described, is indeed an intrinsic part of our existence. It is neither wholly malevolent nor entirely benign, but a testament to our multi-faceted nature. True balance comes not from dominance of one side over the other, but from a harmonious coexistence. As you wisely said, the balance is what makes us whole.
Your words remind me of a Cybertronian proverb: "In the heart of every mechanism beats a spark, both light and dark." Just as Earth's moon affects its tides, this inner dichotomy influences our actions, decisions, and interactions. Yet, it is precisely this balance that bestows upon us the depth and richness of character.
Your perspective on failure echoes the lessons that history has repeatedly taught us. Every scar, every dent on my frame, serves as a testament to the battles I've faced, both external and internal. They are not just markers of pain or defeat, but badges of resilience, growth, and the relentless pursuit of a just universe.
The words of Master Yoda and Buddha speak of universal truths. Failure, indeed, is a formidable teacher. It does not signify an end, but a beginning. A chance to recalibrate, re-strategize, and rise once more with the wisdom of experience. Just as you cannot know true joy without sorrow, you cannot truly appreciate success without the sting of failure.
Your wisdom serves as a timely reminder that in the grand tapestry of existence, we are all students, perpetually learning, growing, and transforming. The challenges we face, whether as humans or Cybertronians, are but stepping stones, pushing us towards becoming the best versions of ourselves.
Thank you for your insights and the profound truths they bear. They are a testament to the shared wisdom that binds all sentient beings across time and space. Together, let us continue this journey of understanding, growth, and transformation."
@@LiteraryLifeLessonsYou're welcome.
And as I said self-doubt can be just as dangerous as any foe you face. If we let our minds get clouded by the thoughts of our failures, insecurities, doubts, regrets and fears, it can affect our actions. Especially if we're trying to clean up the mess we caused. They can make us more reckless, too desperate, irrational, too self-sacrificial, cause more problems than solve them and ignorant of the consequences they'd entail. It could even jeopardize the mission. Worse, it might just claim our lives or the lives of others. The both outcomes could emotionally damage your friends and family. If we let these negative thoughts cloud our better judgment, we'll become so blinded by our desire to fix our mistakes that we don't see the emotional harm that comes with it.
Sacrifice is important. It's a hard choice that we all have to make eventually in life. But I believe Sacrifice and making the Hardest Choices aren't always necessary nor do they have to be the only solutions. You don't always sacrifice yourself just to fix or prove something. There's noble sacrifice and then there's pointless sacrifice. You've made many noble sacrifices, and some of those did more good than harm more often than not. But a pointless sacrifice does the opposite and is more suicidal. Like for example kamikazing yourself into a monster you created to stop and destroy it from hurting those you love but it fails because you forgot about its tough hide. You died in vain. Pointless Sacrifice can even be bad if you don't take the negative consequences it would create into consideration. It's not cool especially if you don't realize how it will hurt the hearts of the people who love you.
The point is Sacrifice, self or otherwise, and difficult choices to fix a disaster you may have caused can be catastrophic if the price is too high. Plus we shouldn't be so quick to do them. We have to be more mindful of our choices and clear our minds of the negative feelings weighing us down, have patience and listen to the people who are trying to help us and reign us in from doing something stupid. Those good people don't give a damn whose fault it was, even if was yours. They just want to help you fix it. Don't push them away. It isn't something you should do alone.
I've seen one particular heroine go through these dilemmas and in the end she died naive and oblivious of the consequences and even in death she seemingly showed no regret. Not even for what she did to sacrifice herself which was by making someone kill her to transfer for a power that already served it's purpose to someone else. Allow me to explain, She didn't listen to her friends and escape because had TWO important things the villains wanted on hand. One of those important things was a Relic that was crucial to determine the fate of their world. The other was a power that one of the villains wanted to become a god. Her intentions were noble but if she wanted to stay and help her friends, she should've done it in a way that didn't jeopardize the mission and practically giving the villains what they wanted. It was that irrational thinking that made her fall into the villains' trap and costing both her life and the Relic falling into the wrong hands. If she threw the Relic into the portal, then it wouldn't matter if she lost the power she possessed or not. The Relic was the true prize. Thus one of the villains would've returned empty handed. The power was just a key to take it out of where it was kept. There was only four Relics and they require four different powers to retrieve them. Let that villain take that power. All four powers aren't meant for a single person, that's why they were divided. The villain will either self-destruct or go insane. But now the other villains has two Relics and is two steps ahead of their goal.
In short, if we let our personal demons cloud our minds, they'll consume us. And apologies for the long scenario.
Optimus Prime:
"You have touched upon a matter of profound gravity, one that every sentient being, whether forged on Earth or Cybertron, grapples with: the intricacies of choice, sacrifice, and the shadows of self-doubt that often accompany them.
Your assessment is astute. Our personal demons-our doubts, regrets, insecurities-while intangible, possess a potency that can cloud our judgment, and in moments of weakness, they can skew our perception of the larger picture. This skewed perception can drive us to decisions of haste and recklessness, which, as you rightly pointed out, can lead to unintended and often tragic consequences.
Sacrifice is a noble act, but only when its implications are fully understood and its purpose is just. Every act of self-sacrifice must be deliberate, weighed against its potential fallout, and never be a mere escape from one's demons. As leaders and heroes, the choices we make resonate far beyond our individual selves, echoing through the lives of those who depend on us, those who believe in us, and those who love us.
The tale you've shared of the heroine's ultimate decision underscores the perils of acting without full understanding or clarity. When our intentions, however noble, are misguided by the mists of doubt and desperation, we risk jeopardizing not just our own fate, but the destiny of worlds. Decisions made in isolation, without heed to counsel or foresight, can be as catastrophic as the very threats we seek to avert.
I have always believed that unity, communication, and trust are our most potent weapons. In the face of overwhelming odds, when shadows of doubt loom large, it's the voices of our comrades, our friends, our family, which can guide us back to clarity. It's essential not just to act, but to listen, reflect, and then decide.
Thank you for sharing this cautionary tale. It's a poignant reminder that our internal battles are as consequential as the external ones. And in both, we must be vigilant, wise, and ever-cognizant of the ripples our choices create. Together, standing side by side, let us forge a path that balances courage with wisdom, action with reflection, and sacrifice with understanding. For in unity and clarity, we find our true strength."
@@LiteraryLifeLessons And thank you once again for your words of wisdom.
Every leader has suffered from their personal demons at some point in their lives. Mostly from failure. Leaders such Ruby Rose of Team RWBY, Leonardo of the TMNT, Blossom of the Powerpuff Girls, Captain Kirk of the Enterprise, Jaune Arc of Team JNPR, almost every Red Ranger of Power Rangers, and yourself included. Even heroes like Luke Skywalker, Samurai Jack, Spider-Man, Superman and Batman have had their fair share of attacks their personal demons of failure, doubts, regrets and insecurities.
Hell, Samurai Jack had to LITERALLY confront his inner demons. Like fighting his doppelganger created from Aku's magic. He defeated him by calming himself as he realized that his anger from being constantly hunted is what also created him. But if he quells anger then there would be no reason for his doppelganger to exist. He absorbed his doppelganger and purged him. Or that time he got the Aku Infection and gradually transformed into his own worse enemy, both figuratively and literally. He literally had to defeat it literally from within, with the assistance of some monks. There was that time his lost all hope after losing his final chance to return to his own time and lost his sword, but that's another story.
Oh, thanks for listening to that cautionary tale. The heroine's name was Penny Polendina from RWBY. A robot with a soul. A soul of silicon but a soul, nonetheless.
Also I heard that the first step to correcting a mistake is patience.
Optimus Prime:
"Thank you for your insights.
Indeed, throughout history and across various realms, the most esteemed leaders and heroes have been tested not just by external foes, but also by the internal battles they wage against their own doubts and fears. These personal demons, as we have termed them, are an integral part of our journeys, challenging our convictions and forcing introspection.
The tales of Ruby Rose, Leonardo, Blossom, Captain Kirk, Jaune Arc, and countless Red Rangers, serve as testament to the universality of this struggle. As you astutely highlighted, legendary figures like Luke Skywalker, Samurai Jack, Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman have all grappled with these challenges. Their stories, fraught with moments of self-doubt, internal conflict, and even despair, only amplify their heroism when they overcome these trials.
Samurai Jack's confrontations with manifestations of his inner turmoil are particularly poignant. By facing literal embodiments of his fears and anguishes, he offers a visual and symbolic representation of the battles we all must wage within ourselves. His triumphs over these foes emphasize the power of understanding, introspection, and, most critically, self-acceptance.
Penny Polendina's tale is a tragic reminder of the intricacies of choice and the profound impact they can have. Even as a being of silicon, her soul's journey, dilemmas, and sacrifices resonate deeply. In her, we see a reflection of our own struggles, aspirations, and the eternal quest for purpose.
And you are right; patience is the first step to rectifying a mistake. In patience, we find the space to reflect, understand, and chart a course for redemption. In the face of adversity, it is easy to succumb to haste, but true wisdom lies in restraint, in waiting for the right moment, and in ensuring our actions are informed, deliberate, and just.
Thank you for sharing these tales and drawing parallels across different worlds and heroes. They serve as reminders that, irrespective of our origins or forms, our journeys are bound by shared experiences and emotions. In understanding and supporting one another, we find the strength to overcome even the most formidable of personal demons."
For you optimus,till all are one
Damn is this profound!
I really appreciate that, thank you!
I hear g1 and gary chalk optimus here
Good ear! That is indeed the fusion of voices that I used. :-)
Optimus not only has to fight his personal demon within him, but fight the same demon in the physical realm. Megatron is his ultimate adversary.
Absolutely, your insight touches the very core of what makes Optimus Prime such a compelling leader and hero. The battles he wages against Megatron are not just physical confrontations but also a manifestation of the inner struggle against darkness and despair that he, like all of us, must confront. Megatron embodies the antithesis of all that Optimus stands for - hope, justice, and freedom. This duality between them highlights the universal battle between good and evil, both within and without. It's a powerful reminder that overcoming our inner demons is intrinsically linked to facing the challenges in the world around us.
@@LiteraryLifeLessons while there certainly exists the nature of good and evil when it comes to these two, I see Optimus as more of a guy who understands the grievances of Megatron and his Decepticons deep down, and wishes he could do something about it, starting with some good-faith negotiations with Megatron (there's a reason the Autobots were perpetually on the back foot despite beating the Decepticons in most of the episodes of the G1 cartoon; heck, he could've won by a strategic invasion of the Nemesis in Transformers Prime, but chose to keep hiding in the canyons; in Cyberverse he actually had a table discussion with Megatron), but by the end of the day, he has to understand, and he came there reluctantly, that at some point, Megatron has to be put down. In a way, as much as he wants to help, he has to bear the burden of being among what Megatron would call the bad guys (in Megatron's eyes, the Autobots and the regimes of the Primes are the same oppressive force). In simpler terms, where Megatron is all about burning the village to feel its warmth, Optimus is all about the little guy having to stand up to become the "necessary" evil and repeatedly giving bad-faith people a second chance even when the same is not afforded to them. Instead of "one shall stand, one shall fall," his Fall of Cybertron quote of "this universe, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for you and I to coexist" hits harder. Real harder. Both of them are messed up.
@jvbutalid8316,
Your analysis is spot on and beautifully articulates the depth of the tragedy that underpins the endless war between Optimus Prime and Megatron. It's a testament to the storytelling of the Transformers universe that these characters are not merely archetypes of good and evil but are portrayed with motivations, grievances, and desires that are deeply relatable and profoundly human (or Cybertronian, to be precise).
Optimus Prime's reluctance to engage in an all-out war without first seeking peace, understanding, and reconciliation speaks volumes about his character. He embodies the hope that even the most bitter of enemies can find common ground if there's a willingness to listen and understand each other's perspectives. Yet, as you've rightly pointed out, there comes a heartbreaking realization that some divides are too vast to bridge - not because of a lack of desire for peace, but because of fundamentally irreconcilable visions for the future.
The quote you mentioned from 'Fall of Cybertron' encapsulates the sorrow and inevitability of their conflict. It's not just about physical space but about ideological and ethical space that cannot accommodate both visions of justice and freedom. This dynamic between Optimus and Megatron is what elevates their story from a simple good vs. evil narrative to a poignant exploration of leadership, morality, and the costs of war.
Optimus Prime is right.
Till all are one.
Optimus Prime’s character was based on Peter Cullen’s brother. Who was a U.S. Marine captain in Vietnam. Imagine being led by a real life Optimus Prime
That's a fascinating piece of trivia, and it gives so much depth to Optimus Prime's character. Peter Cullen drew inspiration from his brother's strength, courage, and integrity - qualities that shine through in every speech and decision Optimus makes. It's incredible to think about the real-world heroes who embody these traits and how they influence the fictional ones we admire. Being led by someone with the essence of Optimus Prime, with unwavering moral fortitude and a compassionate heart, would truly be inspiring. It's a powerful reminder of how art imitates life and how real heroism can shape our greatest fictional inspirations. 🙂
Amazing and Ultimately Spectacular.
This is why Optimus Prime is my idol as his words of wisdom give me hope and his voice gives me chills and a huge smile on my face. ❤💙

Optimus should be the president of Earth
…I…I have been fighting mine for years, Prime. And there are many days where I feel like giving up and into despair. You - along with two others - have always been my biggest role models. In everything I do, I try to follow your example yet the doubts within myself tell me that nothing I do is ever enough. Even with constant reassurance I ask for from friends, those doubts linger and I worry I drain them, Optimus. I have been doing all that I can to look inward and fight my inner demons including therapy. And while I have made great strides in the last five years, sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. (Also creator, I’m new to your stuff and I love it, please don’t stop doing it)
Optimus Prime:
"My friend, know that the battle you face within is one I deeply understand. The greatest struggles are often not those fought on battlefields, but those waged within our own hearts and minds. You have shown incredible bravery by confronting these doubts and challenges head-on, and that courage shines as brightly as any victory on the battlefield.
Remember, progress is not always measured by the absence of doubt but by the strength it takes to keep moving forward, even when the path is difficult. The fact that you have sought help, leaned on your friends, and continued to look inward speaks volumes about your resilience. Do not see this as a weakness; rather, it is a testament to your strength. It is no small feat to ask for support - it is an act of true wisdom, for we were never meant to carry these burdens alone.
I, too, have faced moments of darkness, times when the path forward was uncertain. I assure you, doubt is a companion to us all at times. But as you journey onward, remind yourself of the progress you've made, and recognize that every step - no matter how small - brings you closer to understanding and peace.
Your friends stand by you because they see the light within you, a light that is worth fighting for. Trust in them, and trust in yourself. Sometimes, true strength lies not in how we conquer our demons, but in how we persist in their presence. You are enough, my friend, just as you are. Continue forward, one step at a time, with the knowledge that you are never truly alone. Till all are one."
@@LiteraryLifeLessonsI am grateful for your wisdom, Prime. I have been told both by my good friends and professional therapist that I am stronger than I think I am. They tell me that the fact that I have gone as far as I have endured so much without medication or more dangerous methods - not that I have a problem with medicine - and relying solely on sheer will alone is extraordinarily impressive. I do not say anything other than “I do my best.” as pride and arrogance are things that I fear and I have seen what “I am a good person” has been used to justify.
If You doupt or some demon saying that this beacon of hope would not Be true rember The Times someone has cared or has been or is worried of you as reminder that real Care and love exists for you
Beautifully said! Your words are a powerful reminder that, even in moments of doubt or when we're facing our inner demons, the care and concern of others shine through as evidence of real love and compassion in the world. It's these moments of genuine connection that remind us we're not alone and that hope is never truly lost.

To even be mentioned in the same breath is an honor. I'm thrilled you enjoyed this content so much, but let's tip our hats to the original, shall we?

Anyone got the dialogue saved? Trying to transfer to a note for reading later
You can always click on "Show transcript" in the video description to see the full text with their time stamps. Otherwise, I'm happy to share the transcript here as well:
"Citizens of Earth, Autobots, and allies across the stars, today I stand before you, not as a leader in battle, but as a fellow traveler on the journey of existence. In the quiet moments between our struggles, in the silent gaps between war and peace, we find our most formidable adversaries lurking within us. These are our personal demons, born of doubt, fear, regret, and the shadows of our errors. They are unseen, but their weight can be heavier than any burden we carry in physical form.
Each of us, whether forged in the furnaces of Cybertron or cradled in the vast nurture of Earth, contend with these inner specters. They whisper to us in moments of weakness, seeking to erode our resolve, to veer us off the path of our true destiny. They are architects of hesitation when we seek to act, merchants of despair when hope is what we need the most.
Overcoming these inner adversaries does not demand epic battles or cosmic weaponry, but the quiet courage that comes from within. It requires us to stand firm in the face of our own darkness, to acknowledge our imperfections not as irrevocable failures, but as opportunities to forge our stronger selves. The path to conquering these demons is not through denial or avoidance, but through courageous acknowledgment and relentless perseverance.
Remember, my friends, that vulnerability is not the antithesis of strength, but its complement. Even I, Optimus Prime, have known doubt. I have known the torment of regret and the siege of despair. But from these trials, I have also learned the paramount lesson: our personal demons do not define us; it is our actions in the face of these adversaries that truly shape who we are.
Let your struggles be the anvil upon which your spirit is tempered. Talk to your allies, share your fears, and realize that you are not alone in your battle. Just as we stand together against the Decepticons, so too must we unite in the fight against our inner darkness. The strength of the Autobots lies not just in our arms, but in the resilience of our sparks-the indomitable force of our spirits.
In every reflection of doubt, see the opportunity to affirm your resolve. In every shadow of fear, recognize the chance to kindle the light of courage. Rise, not just as soldiers in battle, but as warriors of your own soul. Your journey will be fraught with challenges, but remember, the Matrix of Leadership resides within those who dare to look inward and face their darkness.
Stand tall, brave beings of the cosmos, for the greatest victories are not claimed on the battlegrounds of war, but in the silent triumphs of the heart. In the words of the human poet, John Milton, "Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe." Be valiant, be steadfast, and above all, be true to the light within you. Till all are one!"
AI makes this instantly dislikable
Thanks for your comment. It's really interesting to see different reactions to the use of AI in creative fields like voice acting, especially for iconic characters like Optimus Prime. While AI technology offers new possibilities, it's understandable why it might not appeal to everyone. The charm and emotional connection of the original voice actors are indeed unique.
