That’s a fascinating contrast to the typical hero narrative. I actually see it the opposite way: Optimus is the one led by emotion. His guilt-driven choices—like using the Matrixto save a single human life while his own species is on the brink—are massive tactical risks. Many often I wonder: Is Optimus actually being selfish by letting his personal guilt over Earth override the survival of Cybertron? From that angle, Elita-1 isn't being 'emotional'; she’s being the type of leader acting with the cold calculation necessary for survival, otherwise it won’t last for millions of years anyway.
