cool picture
by the way i am sending you a link to my story The Heart of a Hero
heres the link
[link]
basicly the story explores the death of optimus's lover alita
at the same time it makes clear that her death would over time change optimus prime for the worst when it comes to my story the heart of a hero serving as a prequal to the 80's animated movie.
over the years i have come to believe that when it comes to the g1 animated mythos that if there was a single thing that could ever truly make prime snap to the point that he would mke the change from being the honor bound warrior to the tragic avenging hero it would be the death of his beloved alita.
basicly primes overall character portrayel in a heros sacrifice would be that
of a good man who was in no way deserving of the greif forced upon him by the death of his family. a man who nonetheless was forced to live his life with grief to great for him to bear..
in short optimus would be the honor bound warrior driven mad by greif in the end and would meet his end as the tragic avenging hero. in a certain manner of speaking he would becomea version of the punisher
he would go into that fight not an autobot warrior but instead as a so called angel of vengeance. one who would be all to willing to fight fire with fire and darkness with darkness
in the end he would willingly give up his honor , his beliefs even his very soul if need be so that with his death he could avenge the deaths of his friends his family and his comrades.
i got a question.
could i use your your picture as cover art for my story
A hero's sacrifice?
basicly your picture would be used in a rather symbolic manner of speaking in the sense that the picture itself would represent optimus prime as he would be in overall outward appearance if he were to ever truly and irrivocably give in to his inner darkside in a permanent manner of speaking
try to picture optimus prime going through a full body colorchange during this scene from the animated movie with the whole affect being somewhat similer to that whole power change affect the autobot brothers in RID go through when they Supercharge.
although in the case of optimus prime it would be more along the lines in which optimus prime calls upon the full fury of his hate, anger rage and wrath and directs it all towards megatron with prime using it as a forbidden strength of absolute last resort.
if anything it would give some additional weight to that line he speaks during hs death bed scene about how he himself was not worthy of bearing the matrix as autobot leader.
heres my take on the scene
The sunlight streamed past someone standing in the shattered doorway, hiding the features in shadow, but then he saw the bright blue optics shining through the darkness, and fell back a step as Prime moved closer. Prime was more terrible than Megatron had ever seen, His eyes were burning with rage, anger, hate, malice, and sorrow, the stuff nightmares were made of . So many mixed emotions, so many ways in his mind these events could have been avoided, so many things that could have been said between the two of them, so many ways things could have changed for the better. In his heart prime could almost forgive megatron for his crimes. But for this there was no amount of mercy to give, no way to make amends existed for this, for these sins there was no forgiveness only judgment.
All that I had to live for in life has been destroyed, My life is over. I have nothing left to lose. I have nothing left in life Megatron, you've taken everything away from me ." He thought silently to himself. "You’ve taken my friends, my comrades, my beloved, and my home from me. here and now, you will pay in full this day for your crimes against humanity and cybertron. you will pay for all of your sins this day, the day of retribution has come . he was almost the conscience the Decepticon commander never had, almost but not quite, as Megatron's evil leer returned, visions of Prime lying dead at his feet giving him back his ruthlessness. His optics widened in shock and surprise. "Prime," Megatron hissed, like a cobra ready to strike.Prime's optics burned into the darkness like living flames. Even from a few paces away, Megatron imagined he could feel the fiery glare strike him like a wall of heat.
"One shall stand, one shall fall," Prime said to his life long enemy. his voice ringing in the small space as he takes his stand. in more ancient times that line would be seen as a challenge between gentlemen to a duel. Megatron clenched his fist, then thrust it to the side in a gesture of throwing something of value to the wind. "Why throw away your life so recklessly?" his eyes blazing with hatred as he asked his adversary, finally voicing the one question that he had always wanted to pose to Prime, trying to figure out what drove the Autobot to a life of servitude to an unreachable ideal. Megatron had always considered life something to be conquered, not spent trying to transcend into some ethereal state of chivalry. Not that I care, Megatron says to himself as he thinks of what he will do once he finally has Optimus out of the way, the Autobots will scatter and be easy prey, Earth will be mine as Cybertron already is he thinks to himself. My life? My life ended millennia ago at the barrel of your fusion cannon, Megatron... i who wanted only to gain your friendship and respect, i who had once admired you so long ago. I died that day. I survived physically, but who I am died. And that's why I fight. The mask I wear is a physical manifestation of the mask I show the universe. On the outside, it's freedom, peace, and protecting the innocent... Honestly, there's very little that would make me feel better than launching an all out personel assault on you .. But the only reason I don't is that I don't want my comrades to become like you, to fall as I have. you killed me, you killed dion, you killed alita. she's dead now, but her killer lives. She died that day a decade ago. a part of my soul died with her but you our killer still live. you killed her... And Dion's all that's left... It's time to return the favor.
Primes scarlet, dark blue and silver plating glistened in the dim light as blitzwing takes a sneaky leap at Prime. In one violent, furious motion he reached out with his left arm behind his back and lashes out at the triplechanger , stiff arms him with a shuddering clank while chocking him, than pile drives him head first into the rocky ground letting him crumple and fall as the commando blacks out and loses consciousness. The shadows changed, playing over the angles of Prime's hull. "That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron," .he rumbled, as he returned to glare at megatron straight in the eye his optics narrowing and changing in color ever so gradually from dark blue to blood red as he readied himself for the first strike. The Autobots calm demeanor in this situation proves to infuriate Megatron. how can he be like this when he is about to face his certain demise? Megatron asks himself as he began to level his fusion cannon at Prime..That fool staring at me with his ice cold sapphire gaze. Before it was hard, as in all battles, but now it just made him look plain evil . it is as though he has risen from the very darkest depths of the inferno itself. His hands are trembling ,clenched into fists of unholy rage as are his See-able facial features, grimacing, he is having his own war now. from megatron's view point Prime's standing in the doorway has blocked the sunlight in such a way that his silver features have actually darkened in color to dark grey while the red and blue had darkend to a borderline black and metallic blue .
