Lightsabers and Lollipops

this picture rocks!



y'know, for being a respected and mighty leader as Optimus Prime is, he sure does go down easy.
i mean, ninjas are cool and all (and especially Storm Shadow here. he's been my favorite since way back when.) but to be taken out by just one of them is pretty sad for a gigantic alien robot the size of a truck.

come to think of it! ninjas, or any other martial arts masters do always seem to do so much better when fighting by themselves.
let's look back on all the kung fu movies you've seen. when the lone warrior is fighting like 100 guys he does better than any of them can seem to muster. (i know they all only attack one at a time. i've always hated that, and you should too.) so if you are going to be an ultimate ninja warrior. leave your friends behind and go solo. if you watching somebody else's back you will probably get kicked in the teeth. so much for teamwork.
that's just in movies kids.
in real life, if you don't have anybody looking out for you, then you had better pick your fights one person at a time. if you go swinging at 100 guys at once. you probably won't walk away. literally. you will probably never be able to walk. again.


anyway.
as much as Optimus Prime does die in each scenario, he still gets more respect in the sci-fi.nerd world than Darth Maul.
not too many fanboys out there that like to talk fondly of everything he owned getting split in half.

oh well.
