If there’s anybody in charge for the traumatic loss of life of Optimus Prime in “Transformers: The Film,” it is the Autobot Scorching Rod. A brand new character launched within the movie, Scorching Rod is a younger and strong-willed Autobot desirous to show himself. Many of the film is centered on this shiny new transformer, and he ultimately takes over as the brand new Prime when the Matrix of Management is handed on to him. Nonetheless, the Autobots wanted a brand new Prime within the first place due to Scorching Rod. In Optimus Prime’s ultimate battle within the movie, the Autobot chief takes down each Decepticon conceivable and even beats Megatron in a one-on-one struggle. Practically defeated and on the point of loss of life, Megatron begs Optimus for mercy as he tries to sneakily seize a blaster to make use of on him.

Optimus had Megatron lifeless to rights at this level, and even when Megatron did seize the blaster, it could possibly be argued that Optimus would put an finish to Megatron earlier than he might do something sneaky. Sadly, Scorching Rod will get in the best way, pondering he is serving to, making an attempt to cease Megatron from reaching the gun. The conceitedness of Scorching Rod leads to Megatron having an Autobot defend and Optimus and not using a clear shot, letting Megatron get the kill. 

Watching Optimus get blasted to kingdom come is, no doubt, traumatic, and I simply could not write this in good conscience with out mentioning that it would not have occurred within the first place if it weren’t for Scorching Rod. A minimum of I can cope by blaming a fictional robotic.
