objective

interpret Optimus Prime's Machine Wars body as a younger version of the character

notes

the MW line lacks any fiction except for vague toy bios, so the characters are open to interpretation. I think of the MW version of Optimus as not the matured, paternal leader of the Autobots, but rather his younger, more inexperienced self, when he still had some harsh lessons to get beaten into him.


this piece is something of a prequel to this one.
