He was in Transformers: The Movie. I don't know if he was on the cartoon,
because it wasn't shown in my area when it was on the air. :^(

Optimus changed looks several times over the course of Transformers history.
He was usually a tractor trailer of some kind. Sure, I would probably like

I think it would be very good for LEGO to produce mecha or transformer sets.
Unfortunately, the closest thing we have is Bionicles, which just aren't the
