I would like to say a special thank you.
A Thank you to the older generation of Transformers Fans.
Thank you for your dedication, support and protest during the making of 2007.
Without you all, I may have never gotten the Optimus Prime as I know him today.
I'm actually shaking and crying and I'm really not ok.
The only other time I've cried for someone passing was my dad, I don't know what to think right now.
This is a sad day for the fandom, I hope his family knows that he was a role model for millions upon millions of people.
