Optimus Prime has an alter ego. In his rare downtime he leaves Autobot city to become, VOLTRON, defender of the universe.
Furthermore, the writers of the G1 series would have us think Megatron transformed and size-shifted into a hand gun that at times even humans could hold. How unbelievable is that. Imagine the big bad boogyman of the universe transforming into a small pistol. Everyone who knows the truth knows that Megatron's true transformation was not into a pistol, and no, no even a tank. He actually became Curious George or did Curious George become Megatron? Or was it Scoody-Doo? Whatever way it went, talk about a serious alter-ego. The conspiracies just continue........................ Do any of you realize that shortly after the ark crashed Starscream left the Decepticons, went to Chicago, visited Rev. Wright's church, appeared on the Jerry Springer show, and joined The National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood (Aka No Ma'am)?
