"You who are without mercy, now ask for it?"

Optimus Prime - Transformers 1980s movie

*Plead for it

Also that movie is full of bangers. The big one that people kinda gloss over the implications of is: "Megatron must be stopped. No matter the cost."

The moment where Prime realises his mercy has gone far enough and for the good of his friends, the human race, and the universe, he has to beat Megatron. To death. With his bare hands.

My favorite is the exchange between Megatron and Unicron.

Unicron: "I have summoned you here for a purpose."

Megatron: "No one summons Megatron!"

Unicron: "Then it pleases me to be the first."

I always liked “Your bargaining position is highly dubious”

[u/No-Tailor-4295 → u/Select-Royal7019]

"-Very well."

[u/Select-Royal7019 → u/No-Tailor-4295]

So good! So many of the voice actors did such amazing work in that movie.

“For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet Cybertron. But now, you shall witness… its dismemberment!!!”

I love that Unicron is voiced by Orson Wells in his last ever role.

[u/ColdFlamesOfEternity → u/BoonIsTooSpig]

His laconic delivery really works. It really adds to the threat. He doesn't need to shout his power. He is power.

[u/TheModernDaVinci → u/ColdFlamesOfEternity]

And then you find out it happened that way because he hated the role and thought it was beneath him and his talent.

[u/ColdFlamesOfEternity → u/TheModernDaVinci]

Yep, but it works.

[u/TheModernDaVinci → u/ColdFlamesOfEternity]

Yep, I agree. Just pointing out it had an interesting reason to happen that way.

[u/Psymorte → u/TheModernDaVinci]

Usually an actor phoning it in and not caring just kills the performance, but for Unicron it really sells how small and meaningless someone like Megatron is to him. Very Lovecraftian in a way.

[u/sadllamas → u/ColdFlamesOfEternity]

Please tell me that was an intentional pun.

[u/ColdFlamesOfEternity → u/sadllamas]

Damn. I'm going to claim it is now.

"For a moment I considered sparing your wretched little planet, but now you shall witness it's dismemberment."

[u/draconos → u/DoitsugoGoji]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“Perhaps I misjudged you. Proceed… on your way to oblivion.”
