Yup. In this movie, given a one-on-one fight, Prime is no match for Megatron.

It's a good thing Megatron was overly obsessed with the Allspark, with all this attention focused on that object. Otherwise, Prime will be pounded into dust in no time.

He could have just tackled him and attempt to pin him down.

No brotherly love in that first shot.




Yeah well Megatron was readying a cannon that blasted Optimus up and off his feet. Optimus fired a weak shot by the way since it only grazed him.

Do we have to analyze every bit of a storyline that wasn't there in the first place?


That's exactly what i mean. When Megatron was readying a cannon, Prime should have jumped him and try to pin him down.

And if that fails. THEN he can fire the first SHOT.

I was expecting that kind of scene to happen when i first watched the movie. I was just so surprised that Prime opted to just fire away instead. Very NOT like the typical righteous Prime that we all know. This new Prime is quite aggressive and heavy handed. Although a weakling compared to Megatron.

If you look back to the old cartoons, and even in the old movie, it's very rare that Prime will fire the first shot. If he ever did at all. I don't remember any.

And even if fired upon, or after a back-breaking brawl, when he finally gets the upper hand, Prime would usually even hesitate to fire, or just point the gun, blurt out some speech, waiting for the enemy to give up.

He DOESN'T fire first shots.


Which cost G1 Prime his life. I'm kinda glad Movie Prime is more aggressive.

Like someone already mentioned on this thread already, Prime gives as good as he gets-its just that they are mainly seen in the background. If any of you watch it again, when blackout creeps up on Prime and Megatron, right before Lennox gets on the motorbike the camera pans out and you see Prime backhand megatron across the face. And before that scene you also see Prime knocking Megs about after recieving a punch off Megs. Plus theres also the lil problem of him looking out for innocent humans! So I dont think Prime was THAT much weaker than Megs!
