Can we take a moment to actually look at these?

Optimus flies in at high speed, both fists clenched, helm turned left as if that was the direction he was intending to turn in order to attack Megatron. Unfortunately, his momentum and new weight forces him backwards so that his back is actually facing Megatron. In order to compensate, he has to pivot his whole body to the right and he backhands Megatron across the face with his right hand—knocking him back—and then punches Megatron’s arm with his left. The punch appears a bit weak, but that might be because Megatron is already stumbling back himself.

Optimus’ new mass continues to be a problem here as the force of the punch twists his body so that his left side is facing Megatron. His legs are staggered, so he continues to pivot right and spins himself around again, this time trying to get his legs further apart so that he can balance out the force of his strikes. He manages, while his back is to Megatron the second time, to get his legs in such a way that he’s able to spin to the right quickly enough to hit Megatron hard and knock him back again.

It’s only then that Optimus gets his legs under him and stops moving for that final punch that sends Megatron into his own throne.

In gaining strength and durability, Optimus appears to have lost his grace and agility.

For the moment, 2.0 is actually quite clumsy.

Thank you for pointing out the pivot. All the gif sets up to this point JUST have the uppercut and the final straight-punch. The ONLY reason Megatron is even combo’d is because he’s staggered off-guard by the initial pivot-check.

Oh hello yes. Get on my blog. Just in case someone feels like going on another “Optimus is a god modding Gary Stu” rant.

Yes this is good. This pleases me.

I really, REALLY like that he has to actually, you know, get used to this brand new totally different body with new mass and balance and everything.

Also yay robot violence porn on my dash.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
