So I wasn't the only one sitting there thinking that, right there with you!

Unfortunately, since Optimus Prime was not born in the United States of America, he is ineligible to run for the office of President, as explained in the Constitution.
However, Grimlock and the other Dinobots were built in Oregon, circa 1985. That makes them, legally, natural-born citizens of the United States, provided that the Supreme Court recognizes Cybertronians as living, sentient beings. This, of course, means that after their 35th 'birthday', any of them would be eligible to run for President in the 2024 election...
President Grimlock... (shudder)

Well, he may be able to make the case that since he was a 'resident' of the United States before humans walked the Earth (4,000,000 yrs ago puts the Ark crashing during early protohumans) he is more of a citizen than most. However, that also gives Megatron a valid case as well.
I always wondered why Megs didn't try to legally claim Earth under some obscure interplanetary law or something.

Who said that? Chip Chase or Spike Witwicky?

The cynic in me tells me the line is corny but I can't help but like it.
In the last few years, I've developed a fondness for too good to be true characters like Prime and Superman.
I think it's to counter the cynicism that has creeped into me in recent years.
