Geek-boy nostalgia


Who laid down his life, you’re the one (you’re the one)
Never thought of giving up, never run (never run)
Oh, without your help we could not have won (not have won)
And you saved us all from kingdom come

Made of solid steel you weighed tons (many tons)
With exhaust pipes on your arms and a gun (yes a gun)
Oh, the Quintessons made you, you’re their son (you’re their son)
And your legacy had just begun…

And though Megatron has killed you,
We’ll continue, we’ll continue
We, the Autobots do thank you and
We will miss you, we will miss you…

Once Orion Pax now you’re Prime (now you’re Prime)
Your naïve-ness made you weak and you died (yes you died)
But the Aerialbots went through time (went through time)
To resurrect your body’s sweet design

On Cybertron we put up a fight (such a fight)
But the Decepticon’s raw power and might (oh, their might)
Forced us on to Earth and that was our plight (ugly plight)
And it seemed there was no hope in sight

And though Megatron has killed you,
We’ll continue, we’ll continue
We, the Autobots do thank you and
We will miss you, we will miss you…

They arrived on our base after dawn (after dawn)
In a shuttle that they stole that belonged (that belonged)
To a crew delivering enerjon (enerjon)
Which we needed to reach Cybertron

Everything was going so wrong (oh so wrong)
Until you careened right at them headlong (yes, headlong)
With the Matrix in your chest beating strong (beating strong)
In astonishment we all looked on…

And though Megatron has killed you,
We’ll continue, we’ll continue
We, the Autobots do thank you and
We will miss you, we will miss you…

Till all are one…

"The Death Of Optimus Prime" by Mr. McFeely


btw, Michael Bay, if you fuck up this movie I will personally hunt you down, skin you and mount your skull above my rig as a geek-boy uber-trophy.

Ha! I find it hilarious that I just now stumble across your blog considering this is your last post. Is it wrong that I will always think of you and Trav when I hear this and consider it "your" song? Of course, I mean that in a purely macho, manly, homophobic kind of way. Love ya, C! xoxo
