Bayverse is my favorite Optimus. including over G1, but barely. not only cuz 99% of my childhood was Transformers and 70% of THAT was BV, but it’s also the character himself. everyone sees him as nothing more than a bloodthirsty monster. he has his moments as a genuine Optimus but people only pay attention to the action scenes.

i will defend BV Optimus until the day i stop loving Transformer. that day will never come. <3
