I voted for Optimus Prime. The reason is obvious. "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." No one in the history of cartoons , imo, has ever been a more iconic hero than him. Known the world over by children from every country,Prime represented a fight for whats right itself, and emblazned in our minds that never giveing up can pay off!
