Optimus Prime Monologue

I have always been a huge fan of Transformers, ever since I first laid eyes on the original series I was hooked with it's story. Surprise surprise, Optimus Prime is my favourite Transformer. Peter Cullen is also a huge influence, one of my voice acting heroes, and I do my best to impersonate him, and I try to make it more and more accurate each day.
This monologue... I can't remember where it came from, but I remember hearing Cullen perform it somewhere. when I think about it, I am absolutely offended that Michael Bay did not uses this monologue in the movie.
The art is from deviant artist EspenG, the person's channel is amazing! The music is Steve Jablosnky's score. The track is aptly named Optimus.
I hope you enjoy it... and also, to you trolls, bring it on!

Transcript: The race of the homo-sapiens. Yes I have seen their violence, cruelty and greed. However, don’t forget that they two hundred thousand years into their existence. They’re still a young species with much to learn. Sometimes, they repeats their mistakes and do not see-or in some cases REFUSE to see the mistakes they have made.
But even in their darkest histories: I have seen goodness in them. I have their capacity for compassion, wisdom, courage, love, honor and truth. In fact, the wisest teachers on this planet have always said in some way or another, that a true human is ALL of the fore-mentioned virtues.
Sadly, like some of our kind, some of them forgot to keep all of these in their souls. Some of them became monsters… like Megatron. A too large-a-number of these monsters actually ruled in some parts of Earth’s chronicles. Today… A few still do. That said, many did learn from the mistakes of the past. There were those who even had foresight and strived to enrich this world.
Remember: Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. More importantly, it is a privilege. Many have honored it and do honor it today. Some have greatly abused it. Few denied it to others for various, iniquitous reasons such as prejudice. Whether freedom is a right or privilege, no one has the right to take it away from others. Criminals, corrupt leaders and lords and so forth who abuse the rights of freedom, will get what’s coming to them.
This is one of the reasons why beings like us exist. We may be aliens to this planet, but we still have a responsibility. We have to save them from our war. Even though we are strangers; sometimes, a stranger can be a great teacher. Even a saviour… And perhaps soon: It will be up to us to remind them of where they stand. So then they have more knowledge on how to make progress as a civilization, so they can finally be one with each other… Like how we once were… Before the Decepticons… When we were peaceful and just… And I promise you: We will be again peaceful and just.
