Funny Quotes and Sayings With Pictures Transformers Prime
Few fictional characters have inspired more children than the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime. The epitome of heroism, Optimus was wise, decisive, self-sacrificing and noble, and generations of fans picked up on those traits and adapted them as their own.
Optimus Prime's wise words were often uttered to highlight a sage path of action or to underscore a lesson. Of course, part of his appeal was also his rebuke of the rival Transformers known as Decepticons. Throughout the many incarnations of the character across different franchises, Prime has uttered spectacular quotes that will stand the test of time yet to come.
Updated on May 19, 2022 by Scoot Allan: While there are some things about the live-action Transformers franchise that make no sense, one character has retained his iconic status across the various adaptations. Optimus Prime continues to inspire both his team of Autobots and the various humans who have worked alongside them in the ongoing fight against the Decepticons. The release of Transformers: Beast Wars has led to a renewed interest in the wisdom Optimus Prime has delivered over the years.
25 "You Must Protect The Planet. If The Decepticons Find It, Then Our People Are Truly Finished."
Earth has played a huge role in the live-action Transformers saga which has only deepened with each sequel. This connection to the Transformers gained another level with the release of 2018's Bumblebee, which took place prior to the other movies in the franchise.
B-127 is sent to Earth after war breaks out on Cybertron. Optimus hopes to use the planet as the staging ground for a new Autobot base, and its importance is made clear to Bumblebee when he is sent to protect Earth.
24 "Now, All We Need Is A Little Energon And A Lot Of Luck!"
Even in the face of losing Cybertron to the combined might of the Decepticon forces, Optimus Prime never abandoned his fight to liberate the planet. During the events of the animated Transformers movie, Prime and the Autobots staged a plan to attack the Decepticons and free Cybertron from one of its moons.
Optimus Prime uttered this quote after sending Ironhide and several Autobots to make a special run to Earth for more Energon cubes. Unfortunately, the battle for Cybertron would be halted after Prime was killed, and Megatron was reformatted to serve as an assassin for Unicron.
23 "We've Suffered Losses, But We've Not Lost The War."
Prime was a soldier, and the burden of leadership wasn't lost on him. He realized the cost of war, and how good soldiers would die in the line of duty for what they believed. Prime uttered this quote as a morale boost in dark times when hope seemed to be slipping away.
It was this sense of optimism and leadership that kept the Autobots fighting by Optimus Prime's side — even after his death. His fiery attitude in the face of evil and oppression would serve as a beacon for the Autobots to continue the fight in his stead.
22 "A Necessary Sacrifice To Bring Peace To This Planet. We Can Not Let The Humans Pay For Our Mistakes."
The first live-action Transformers movie from director Michael Bay introduced a new version of the Autobots and the Decepticons as their war brought them to Earth in search of the Cube. This brought them into contact with first Sam Witwicky and then the agents of Sector Seven.
When Megatron and the Decepticons threatened the base the Sam Witwicky and his allies were hiding out in, Optimus Prime showed his character by opting to sacrifice himself or his army instead of letting their war harm humanity.
21 "As Long As Power Flows Through Any Of My Circuits Megatron, I'll Fight You."
While Optimus had passed on the Matrix of Leadership to Rodimus Prime in Transformers: The Movie, that wasn't the last fans saw of the character in the Generation 1 continuity. In the Five Faces of Darkness animated movie, Rodimus used the Matrix to explore the history of the Transformers.
Rodimus witnessed the moment Optimus Prime became the leader of the Autobots when the Matrix of Leadership was passed on to Optimus by Alpha Trion. Optimus was chosen due to his ability to challenge the Decepticon's Megatron, which launched the eternal battle between the two powerful Transformers.
20 "I Will Never Stop Fighting For Our Freedom."
This quote is lifted from the Netflix Transformers: War For Cybertron series. After Ultra Magnus left the Autobots to broker peace with Megatron, many of the Autobots believed the war was effectively over. Optimus Prime acknowledged that he and Magnus held different views about the nature of the war.
However, this quote reinforced Optimus Prime's belief that the war was necessary for the sake of all Cybertronians, regardless of their affiliation. Despite overwhelming odds and intense doubt from high-ranking Autobots, Prime stuck by his decision.
19 "Do Not Forget What You Have Learned Of Our Past, Rodimus. From Its Lessons, The Future Is Forged."
Optimus Prime was wise about many things, but few as serious as this. His quote about history is a direct reference to the dangers of forgetting it. In time, a refusal to examine historical events inevitably leads to a repeat of disastrous moments.
Optimus Prime had fought for untold millennia against the Decepticons, and his accumulated knowledge inside the Matrix gave him even greater insight into the far-reaching implications of history, and the necessity of analyzing and learning from past mistakes.
18 "We've Witnessed Your Human Capacity For War. You Would Absolutely Bring More Harm Than Good."
When the Autobots remained on Earth after the events of 2007's Transformers, there was a tentative peace with the US government and the secret organization known as Sector Seven. While the Autobots had agreed to share their information with humanity, they refused to give them any advanced alien weaponry.
When pressed about why they refused to share their technology, Optimus Prime didn't waste any words, letting them know he didn't trust them to be responsible enough with the Transformers' advanced weaponry.
17 "Even If You Defeat Me, Megatron. Others Will Rise To Defeat Your Tyranny."
Optimus Prime was willing to martyr himself for the Autobot cause, regardless of the situation. His willingness to give up his life for what he believed in was a singular driving force towards the Autobots gaining the upper hand against the Decepticon forces in the latter years of the great war.
Even though Megatron was indeed powerful, influential and charismatic, his warped sense of justice was too much to bear. Prime's quote reminded Megatron that his death would inspire the Autobots to continue fighting without rest.
16 "Fate Rarely Calls Upon Us At A Moment Of Our Choosing."
The Autobots returned to fight alongside their human friend Sam in 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which saw a new Decepticon known as the Fallen threaten Earth. Sam Witwicky begins to question why he was the one involved in an intergalactic war between robots.
Optimus Prime stepped in with his usual motivational quotes to help convince Sam that even if he didn't think he could help, fate believed in him. Regardless of whether one is ready for it, destiny can come calling at any time.
15 "Freedom Is The Right Of All Sentient Beings."
The first exposure children would probably have had to Optimus Prime's words would have been reading his motto on the Tech Spec card on the back of his toy package — "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."
This automatically tells fans that the Autobot Commander is dedicated to equality amongst all life forms and explains his commitment to keeping Earth and its inhabitants safe. Moreover, it implies Optimus Prime' s commitment is something he believes is worth fighting for, as the cartoons, films, and comics would prove.
14 "And When The Account Of The Ages Is Etched Into The Cosmos, Let Those Who Exist Long After Us Know That This Was Our Finest Hour!"
Optimus Prime is renowned amongst the Autobots and his human allies for his rallying speeches ahead of important battles. These speeches sometimes revealed the specifics of the plan while also dramatically pepping up his troops for the pending battle.
After he was briefly reprogrammed by the Quintessence into Nemesis Prime, Optimus Prime regained his mind to lead the final charge in Transformers: The Last Knight. His speech was so good, the other Autobots even commented on how good Optimus Prime was at rallying his troops.
13 "We Can't Stand By And Watch The Destruction Of This Beautiful Planet."
It was obvious to all who watched the original G1 cartoon that there was no way Optimus Prime was going to leave Earth to the Decepticons. Even against the bellyaching of some of his soldiers to return to Cybertron, Prime refused to allow Megatron to ravage Earth's plentiful resources.
Partially, Optimus Prime knew that if he did, the energy the Decepticons would amass would make them invincible, but mostly, Prime simply refused to allow the innocent to suffer the effects of their war. His responsibility in this matter makes him a true hero.
12 "We Must Have Courage. We Can't Ignore The Danger. We Must Conquer It."
Another exceptional characteristic that made Optimus Prime so memorable as a leader was his unflappable courage. No matter what the odds stacked against him were, Optimus always faced them head-on.
It's what led Optimus Prime to his fateful showdown with Megatron at the Battle of Autobot City and allowed him to turn the tide in the Autobots' favor. Moreover, Optimus was never shy of sacrificing himself for the good of his fellow Autobots, humans, or his mission — as was evident numerous times in the cartoons, films, and comics.
11 "Remember This: You May Lose Your Faith In Us, But Never In Yourselves."
2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon saw the Autobots working closely with the US military to round up hidden Decepticons when they recovered an old prime named Sentinel. Unfortunately, Sentinel betrayed the Autobots after Optimus Prime vouched for him with the government, casting doubt on their alliance.
Optimus Prime still chose to give a motivational speech when humanity began to turn their backs on the Autobots. Prime wanted humanity to believe in themselves even in the face of pending doom.
10 "Stick It In Neutral, Megatron."
When one's mortal enemy is a windbag who often wastes time with long and obnoxious orations and is bent on galactic domination, even a patient robot like Optimus Prime can lose his cool.
Rolling up to a scene where Megatron and his Decepticons are raiding an energy station, Optimus Prime impatiently commands the Decepticon leader to "stick it in neutral," a punny way for a robot whose alternate mode is an automotive vehicle to tell someone to stop doing something.
9 "Thrones Are For Decepticons. Besides, I'd Rather Roll!"
Optimus Prime exuded the qualities sought after in all leaders. Never asking his soldiers to do something he wasn't willing to do himself, Prime often "led from the front," and developed a personal rapport with each of his Autobot comrades.
Unlike Megatron or his Decepticons, Optimus Prime never saw himself as "above" any other Autobot or human, and his humility was only out-shadowed by his capability. Uttering this quote in the G1 episode "Triple Takeover" really drove home that fact, and underscores why Prime was so beloved by all who knew him.
8 "Sometimes Even The Wisest Of Man Or Machine Can Make An Error."
For a being with the abilities of Optimus Prime, one would think humility would be something alien to him. However, Prime had no issues admitting when he was wrong, and although the times he was were few and far between, Prime had no problem owning up to them.
One of the first instances of this in the G1 cartoon was when Optimus Prime ordered the Dinobots deactivated, but recanted when they saved him and the Autobots from certain destruction. Acts like these prove Prime a leader with stature and not just height.
7 "I Vowed To Never Kill A Human, But Whoever Is Responsible For This Is Going To Die."
2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction took place in a dark time for the Autobots. Following the destruction of Chicago in Dark of the Moon, a company began melting down the bodies of deceased Autobots and Decepticons from the battle.
When Optimus Prime was restored and discovered what was being done to his fellow Transformers, he decided to break his vow against killing humans. It was a dark turn for the hero who had dealt with a lot of trauma since first coming to Earth.
6 "There's A Thin Line Between Being A Hero, And Being A Memory."
Although Optimus Prime was more than willing to sacrifice himself for a cause, he was reticent to have his Autobots or human companions reciprocate, as he would much rather put himself in danger than others.
If the situation called for nothing else, Optimus Prime would advise extreme caution to whoever was undertaking the mission — using logic and reason to mete out the potential for harm. Recklessness isn't something Optimus advised, which he has to remind Ironhide and some more of his hot-headed Autobots on several occasions.
