That Optimus has more personality than he had in the movies. "Cheese." :lol:

And, OMG, that Megatron is a hoot! He's hilarious! "YOU CALL THAT DANCING! STARCREAM, DESTROY HIM! I'M EMBARRASSED NOT JUST FOR YOU< BUT FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!" :lol:

Life-Size Optimus Prime Prepares for Battle Atop Universal Orlando Resort’s TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D

Optimus Prime is ready for battle – towering above the entrance to Universal Orlando Resort’s highly-anticipated, blockbuster attraction, TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D. The addition of the authentically-sized leader of the Autobots Thursday morning, May 30, 2013 is one of the finishing touches to the attraction. Optimus Prime stands guard at 28 feet tall and nearly nine tons, beckoning recruits to join the resistance against the invading Decepticons. The mind-blowing, action-packed thrill ride, which was constructed in record time, officially opens June 20 at Universal Studios Florida.

Me too. I think if I was there at the moment, I'd be compelled to climb up there just to stand next to Prime.

I would stand next to Optimus valiantly.

The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee walk around characters took a break from Universal Studios Orlando last night to visit Marlins Park. The pair accompanied Timothy Stahlsmith as he threw the ceremonial first pitch in last night's game versus the Tampa Bay Rays thanks to the Give Kids the World Foundation. They remained on hand to take pictures with fans throughout the game. Video footage can be found on Yahoo! Sports by clicking here.
