Optimus Prime is a better Captain America than the actual Captain America. And he's not even American!

Of course, Captain America is a filthy, inferior fleshbag.
Optimus Prime is already better by being a superior mechanical being.

Captain is a lost cause anyway
All Gundams are honorary Americans
And stop getting its name wrong OP thats red sweater gundam

It's an established fact that the most AMERICAN Americans in fiction are all Japanese-made.

Not hard really
>>15107155
SAPIENT! The word you are thinking of is SAPIENT!

Maybe not. Optimus could be an extremist who believes in animal rights and thinks zoos are prisons.

Bob Budiansky wrote up bios for every toy Hasbro sent him, which were abbreviated into the tech specs for those characters on their packaging. Tailgate is an extremist for machine rights and is always angry over some imagined injustice to a group that doesn't even know it's being "mistreated".
Here's another good bio: Heroic Autobot Blades!

not because Unicron has possessed him or anything.
not because Hot Rod is the new Hot Shit as per 1988 movie.
not because Duhamel and Wahlberg are the true heroes.

Boi, He sounds like Senator Armstrong

Never cared for Captain America, his design or character. Super Man seems to do a better job of all American idealist than he does.
