Optimus Prime discovered in China

KarateParty.org - Chairman Prime


Even though he towered above me at an awesome 40 ft, it was his proportionate perfection and engineered beauty that made me immediately fall in love with him.

His right hand held his gun down by his thigh, the left was raised, pointing in the direction his grand head faced; towards the horizon, towards the future.

As we moved closer we could make out other details; his steely eyes, his big black boots and on the back of his right leg, a mysterious chained and bolted door. Locals would later tell us that people used to climb up inside him via that door. However, this privilege was denied our race when once, too many fanatics piled into the viewing platform in his chest, causing panic and subsequently a horrific crush. It can only be described as a miracle that of the 58 Tibetan monks involved none suffered more than minor injuries, the worst of which was a bruised rib and a broken prayer wheel. All the same, a sad tale of man’s fear and greed spoiling the ideals of a truly great leader, who simply wanted to share his vision with us.
