#i think it'd be a good feminine equivalent to peter cullen's optimus voice

#WOAH I LOVE THIS#optima prime my beloved 💕#i love her design…such simple yet effective design choices to show she’s a femme without just blatantly oversexualizing her#love genderswap AUs where the character actually acts like and are treated the same as their OG counterpart#instead of being wildly OOC#she’s gentle and kind and maybe takes things a little too literal i love that for her#megatron how i envy you…#transformers#megop#optimus prime#megatron#optima prime comic#i just know she has the loveliest voice

First of all, thank you so much for these amazing tags, lol. I created the female Optimus design and the artist did a great job of rendering it here, so I'm really happy that you (and so many other people) like it! And yes, most of the point of this project is to have a female Optimus who's true to canon and isn't creepily sexualized (and, most importantly, turns into a big badass truck like canon Prime and not some dainty motorcycle unlike some other genderswapped Optimus designs I've seen...).

Second, it's funny you should bring up voices because I do actually have a voice claim in mind for Optima, kind of. I haven't watched anything My Little Pony-related in over a decade, but I imagine she'd sound like Nicole Oliver's Princess Celestia voice. Admittedly I can't find a lot of good clips that focus on her lines, but here's one that I think gets it across the best.

So I've been working on-and-off on a comic since February that started as "What if Transformers had an equivalent to Marvel's Earth-3490", and this was the result. Working title is "Optima Prime"; the basic synopsis is that Optimus is female and the war doesn't happen because she ends up accidentally dating resident virgin nerd loser Megatron who's never spoken to a woman in his life before LMAOOOO RIP

Anyway, these are the first eight pages I commissioned! Script by me, art by ErikaGSkerrz. I wrote the whole first chapter and I have five in total planned; if anyone wants to read the script for what happens next, DM me and I'll send you the Google Doc link.

(If you don't get the last page, the point is that Megatron's being sarcastic about asking her out and she thought he was being serious, lol)
