4 Iconic Optimus Prime Quotes and Merch to Celebrate Transformers Day

The Transformers franchise, with its iconic characters and good vs. evil storyline, holds a special place in fans’ hearts—so much so that Transformers Day has been created in its honour. 

Transformers has introduced us to many iconic characters known for their strength and inspiration. Optimus Prime, the commander of the Autobots, is one of these Transformers who continues to leave a lasting impression on fans. Fans have loved him throughout the years, whether in comic books, animated series, or movies.

Hailed as the embodiment of the Autobot ideal, Optimus Prime is truly iconic. This leader and hero is selfless, noble, and wise, and his memorable quotes are no less inspiring and impressive.

Just Geek salutes this honorary hero with our fine collection of Transformers Optimus Prime merch. To commemorate Optimus Prime Day alongside Transformers fans, we’ve curated a list of spectacular Optimus Prime quotes that have stood the test of time. 

1. ‘We’ve Suffered Losses, but We’ve Not Lost the War.’ - Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

As the undisputed leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime understood the perils and costs of war. Through his unparalleled leadership skills, he never failed to motivate and push his soldiers in times of great duress.

In Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), Optimus Prime spoke these words to boost the morale of his army of Autobots, reminding them that all was not lost. It worked like a shot in the arm and a reminder that they were still standing. 

It marked a moment when the Autobots understood that their leader strongly believed they could fight and prevail. Urging those around him to push on and trusting his allies to support him, come what may, these were Optimus’s essential values that kept his Autobots united.

This Optimus Prime Day pays tribute to his steely resolve and leadership skills. Our unique Optimus Prime merch, like this cuddly TUBBZ plushie also doubles up as a really cool Optimus Prime gift idea.

2. ‘But the Day Will Never Come, That We Forsake This Planet and Its People.’ - Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)

This quote holds a special place in any dedicated Transformers fan’s heart. Optimus Prime uttered it at the end of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) shortly after Optimus defeated Sentinel Prime, the then-leader of the Autobots. 

This quote demonstrates his unparalleled leadership skills and resilience. Optimus has always believed in offering unquestioned trust to his allies, even during difficult times. Being through countless conflicts and dire situations can shake the best of leaders. Even though Sentinel Prime betrayed him and the Autobots to work for the Decepticons, Optimus remains unshaken in his core beliefs despite having fair reasons to doubt and suspect all those around him. 

Just like Optimus Prime holds humans in a special place in his heart, Just Geek wants its fans to remember this iconic figure through its one-of-a-kind Optimus Prime merch on Transformers Day. Our Optimus Prime TUBBZ collectable duck is a must-add before Optimus Prime Day.

3. ‘Freedom Is the Right of All Sentient Beings.’ - Transformers (2007)

Fans and geeks know that this quote was initially written in the bio of the original Optimus Prime toy. These sage-like words were finally spoken out loud by Optimus in Transformers (2007).

The quote signifies the Autobots' commander-in-chief’s dedication to ensuring all life forms are treated and seen as equals. It’s also a clear indication of his care and commitment to keeping all on planet Earth safe.

At Just Geek, we believe that, like brave Optimus Prime and his army of Autobots, some things are worth fighting for. And this includes a gamer’s passion and commitment to video games. Keep building your passion and stay committed to completing your Transformers collection with our Official Transformers gaming locker and Official Transformers Perspex Lamp.

4. ‘You’ll Never Stop at One! I’ll Take You ALL On!’ - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

A wise leader with inspiring morals, Optimus Prime was not one to back away from a fight. Undoubtedly, he was made of sterner stuff than his enemies. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Optimus uttered these words when he was cornered by Megatron and an unbelievable number of Decepticons.

Although he wasn’t the intended target and was singled out, this quote is a reminder of how he let his emotions fuel his actions. In this situation, he’s left to his own devices to defeat the enemy, bringing out the brave soldier in him. Just Geek’s Optimus Prime 3 car collector set pays tribute on Optimus Prime Day to this Autobot commander's heroic deeds.
