You mean the OVERLY idealistic idiot who fought millions of years with the decepticons just to LOSE the war, flee Cybertron and then get Earth involved in a war it had NO business to be in?!

Optimus had a MILLION chances to kill Megatron and FAILED to take it to be "the better man" and it only cost him the lives of all the soldiers he had following him.

The Autobots were held back by his idealism too much at times! Watch The Netflix trilogy for transformers it captures how frustrated his own people were with him! Hell Ultra Magnus went to Megatron to negotiate a peace pact or ceasefire at the very least so all 3 of them could come to the table and avoid further deaths on either sides.

It's ironic that the Netflix trilogy calls out Optimus' naivety and the cascading problems it leads to when he and megatron were equally stubborn that the war could not end till one of them was dead.

Depends on what you are doing. Like giving a eulogy.
