    Assuming he ever truly intended on “finishing an eternity long war” (meaning actully killing Megatron) was never his intended goal ...given the evidence Abd despite his bravado declaration
    Totally out of character for Optimus don’t you think

    NGL, I love the line "I am the number you cannot compute". It's just the right amount of cheesy yet badass IMO.

    That's why it would have caught Megatron by surprise!
    In all seriousness, though, it would be interesting to go through the series and see if Optimus always continues trading barbs before he opens fire..

    I don’t think you’re getting it....
    .....Being out of character isn’t about catching Megatron by surprise it’s about doing something that it really makes no sense for the character to do based on his past behaviors

    That wasn’t the first time Optimus prime had the opportunity to finally put an end to the war by killing Megatron

    Forgetting the fact that we’re talking about a 9 million year war in which where he must’ve had other opportunities, there weren’t least 2 (If not more) Episodes between seasons one and two when Prime has the perfect chance at putting an end to the war, a perfect shot at killing Megatron, And prime did not avail himself of the opportunity

    shot out to the horribly cheesy 80's latam dub of g1

    Optimus -Ya estas viejo megatron te destruire y vendere como chatarra

    ''You are old megatron, I'll destroy you and sell like scrap''

    Megatron -Chatarra to abuela!

    ''Scrap your grandma!''

    in crunchy 80's audio quality

    I mean, because of the Wheeljack vs Energon-Os commercial and WFC:Siege, my personal headcanon is that Wheeljack is the one character who regularly uses Earth curse words. So maybe.
