Optimus doesn't need his arm

Bluebe6 · 05-18-2012, 03:29 PM

I'm sure you recall Optimus loosing his almost a year ago (In DOTM), but I actually came across a picture from that Inspirational Pics thread saying "Bad news, Sentinel. I'm left handed." I know that's a joke and all, but what if it's true? If he is left handed, why would he need his right arm? Yea, it would be better to have both arms, he'll probably have a hard time transforming with one side of the truck missing, but putting that aside, he doesn't need the arm.

Transformers are probably ambidextrous anyway.

Considering how the majority of the Movie Prime figures actually transform, I'd say he kinda needs both arms.

Because it would be hard to drive around as a truck in disguise when it's missing HALF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

That, and his face taking arm is actually his right arm, so he does need it back.

Finally, Ratchet survived the battle, and since it's over, why the hell would Prime NOT want to reattach his arm? He's not Megatron, who can go for an entire movie with what amounts for a twig as an arm, and it's really hard to make awesome leader poses without both arms.

ok, i`m going to steep to your level and make this very clear. They are robots from Cybertron, heck, they can be brought back from the dead. Optimus`s weakness wasnt that he only had one arm at the time, it was that Sentinel`s blade was thrust into his shoulder blade and pushed to the ground. With no weapons and the blade pushing down on him he couldnt attack Sentinel.

I'm gonna chime in and say that Ratchet and the Wreckers would repair Optimus' arm. After all, there's only like thirty dead decepticons laying around that they could use for parts.

I ... guess?

I mean, okay? Sure? Yeah? I'm honestly not sure what to respond.

Honestly I'd rather see him in TF4 without his arm re-attached.

Why i dunno, he can still kill with one arm anyways so he's good.

For those who keep showing me a picture of canned meat, just get off this thread. It isn't spam.

He should just get a chainsaw for an arm (obscure cult classic reference). j/k

No, but seriously, he would need his arm for balance.
