Megatron: Is the future of our race not worth a single human life? Sam: Get up, get up! Optimus: You'll never stop at one.*draw out 2nd sword* I'll take you all one!
..and a bike, and a G.I. Joe with Kung-Fu grip, and a.. Kind of like pistachios. And Hershey's Kisses. And fried bits of crispy pigs skin with Tabasco sauce. And gravy. Lots of gravy.
One thing that's sort of funny though, Optimus replies with 'you'll never stop at one'..does this mean, if Megatron would STOP killing everybody, Optimus would be like 'well sure, go ahead, take the kid's brain!'?
I doubt it. He sacrificed his own life just to save that one human. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he didn't buy into Megatron's "I'm doing this to save our species" lies and BS (which is more than can be said for some people, who watched the movie and somehow came out of it with the impression that the Decepticons were the good guys) so I suppose it could've went differently if Megs was being sincere. But I doubt it.
Death note reference FTW!! XD Especially when that was like the single most dramatic line in the whole anime.
Not really. He basically takes Megatron's 'logic' point of view, only to have it backfire at Megs ; showing how false his motivation really is. It's kind of like figure of speach ; one shouldn't take it literally. (in this case, as in ; literally, Prime being 'ok' with 1 human life sacrifice) Anyway...the whole thing illustrates & should remind us there are enough human scumbags walking around who are even worse than Megatron. And btw... Kettle's > Pringles and Lays
