Yay, I was worried that Optimus was going to be a viltrumite. Of course he's still the leader of a galactic resistance.

Edit: well, WTF?

Edit2: again, holy crap, WTF? That ending.

Watching Donkey Kong explain to Optimus Prime that Some dude wanting pictures of a spider guy, left his post and his son, a zombie apocalypse survivor (I think?) is on their side is honestly fun to imagine.

Plus it’s entirety plausible now thanks to Fortnite

From what I've seen as someone who doesn't play Fortnite but who has a younger brother who does. Fortnite likes to release skins that are characters from literally any intellectual property they can convice to let them make skins. Think Naruto, Kelsier from the Mistborn Trilogy, Stormtroopers, Ahsoka, All Might, Ant-Man, Jinx and Vi from League of Legends, Ariana Grande, Atom Eve, etc. So having a bunch of voice actors who voiced famous fictional characters together reminds them of something they'd see in Fortnite.

Kelsier

I can't remotely explain why, a weird portmanteau of Frasier and Kelsey maybe, but somehow my brain briefly interpreted that as Frasier, and low key I'd gain a little respect for Fortnite if they had a Frasier Crane skin.

I'd also lose some for Kelsey Grammer, of course. First law of thermodynamics and all.

They’re referencing other characters the voice actors have voiced.
