Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobot Team on Earth, and as such he is very leader-y and heroic.

• Because the music video is set to the musical beats in the song, and eight beats is the general rhythm, we were able to show all four of the Autobots doing two shots each. Optimus was always the last, in everything except the dun-dun-dun-dun-dun sequence.
• Optimus was modeled first!
Key Moments:
