Still kind of sad/upset that IDW Optimus gets ignored as the dumb jock OP he is. I mean I know people just want the himbo good guy mainly but like. Do you want an Optimus who barely knows what the fuck he's doing. Do you want an Optimus who makes a preliminary plan but then goes "fuck it we ball" and freestyles the rest. Do you want an Optimus who canonically decided the best way to fight the government would be to literally fight his way into a Senate meeting and scream one of Megatron's speeches at them even as he's getting dragged away and it's only through the intervention of a Senator that he's even still alive?

IDW Optimus. You know you want to.

#squiggposting #idw op love #listen like idw optimus is simultaneously intelligent and so stupid at the same time #i think like. intellectually he's smart. tactically he's smart. if you have a problem that needs solving he can do it #he's introspective enough to know when he's done wrong even if he doesn't always know at the moment #(tho that's more when he was younger)#idw op is more stupid in the way of like... being too trusting and idealistic #sometimes he's very faith and feelings over having an actual plan #and in this i think is one of his key 'optimus traits' that i wish more people acknowledged #just bc idw op isn't a haha silly fun jock himbo doesn't mean that he's not like. that same archetype ppl want
