Sci-fi Humor: The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime

Let’s face it, Optimus Prime is pretty old school. I mean, for God’s sake, he transforms into a big rig. You can’t get anymore traditional than that. Which is probably why when Optimus Prime gets killed and is rebuilt (which kinda happens a lot), chances are he won’t really “get” what’s happening around him, and is liable to clash with the newer model Transformers. Here are two videos cooked up by some “Transformers” fans that brings that point home.

The first video is a recut of some old “Transformers” episodes from the ’80s with a new soundtrack. It’s bloody brilliant. The second one is more “new” school, using those ridiculous “new” Transformers from the new CGI show. I don’t even know what these bastard offsprings are called. Beast Transformers or Maxi Pads or something, who knows, and who cares.
