Optimus Prime: Hero to all Communism

Article Guy said:
Deep in the mountainous regions of southern China, in a province named Yunnan, or “over the clouds”, by Emperor Wu in 109 BC due to its remoteness from the capital, there is a 40 ft statue of the new great Chinese leader, Optimus Prime. My pilgrimage to find him wasn’t without trial, but as they say: Nothing of real value is easy.
So apparently this is the same as red son. Only its autobots, and in china. Kinda sorta.. I dunno anymore, I'm confused.

Optimus?

Still awesome though.

Well, Prime has always had a certain Cold War Red Star vibe to his design. All boxy and red.

I disagree. There is no way a Peterbuilt could be associated with Communism.

Its Unpossible!

The one thing a successful communist state would have would be lots and lots of truck shipping. Gotta move those supplies from the rich to the poor, from the poor to the high government officials!

LOL, Soviet Superman standing on a tattered American flag. I'm sitting here thinking of "Superman Returns" and wondering how that imagery would play right at this moment in time with audiences.
