It's a serpent head menacing with Norse runes!  Very Ragnarok.

But what does the helmet have to do with anything?
The decal remind me the character from spiderman, so maybe 'serpent venom'

Didn't realize that helmet had runes on it, wonder if they give it more protective power?

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll return to us.

The Church of Prime (Optimus) makes a good case

Hey now, there are a few errors there: Jesus is technically ageless (just corporeally 33-ish at time of crucifixion), Jesus did1 defeat his main foe, and doesn't demand money (only some misguided institutional followers of Jesus put in place the monetary obligations), and there's arguably no Biblical basis for transubstantiation.

I agree that doesn't really change the ranking against the Optimus though.

In fairness, yes. Pinkie promise have already destroyed your foes at an indefinite time in the future is the kind of thing you wouldn't agree to on a loan contract for money, nevermind your soul :P

It don't count until it's done.

But yeah, Jesus [some aspects apocryphal] is pretty great.  He has a place in the pantheon/list-of-prophets. 

Patron demigod/saint of trans men, personally
Nah, I'm just kidding.  He obviously embodies forgiveness above all else.  Being a clone of his mother is incidental, which is representation we love to see.

I should be more familiar with Optimus Prime's lore considering the years I dated a transformer nerd, but I do know he embodies responsible self-sacrifice/duty.

Follow up on a serpent and parasite concept. The Goa'uld were an egotistical race of Puppeteer Parasites who used human beings as hosts in order to pose as gods and enslave the galaxy, also pyramid ship are cool.

EDIT:  Also on the question of who is better Optimus vs Jesus: Je Sus of course
