John Cena says Optimus Prime was his favorite Transformer as a child.

The 'Bumblebee' actor admitted while he "should" pick the title character from the new blockbuster prequel - in which he plays evil Sector 7 agent Jack Burns - he was always drawn to the "good guys" whether it was watching WWE or TV and movies.

He told the Toronto Sun newspaper: "I was the right age for it, but I was possibly a little bit at the wrong time. I grew up with four other brothers and we had to fight for everything we had in our house.

"I had a wonderful childhood, but it's not like it was overflowing with gifts and presents, so we had to use our imaginations in certain circumstances.

"But my favorite, and I know I should say Bumblebee, really was Optimus Prime. He was the leader of essentially the good guys. I hark back to my obsession with WWE as a kid. I loved the good guys. I wasn't one of those fans that like the bad guys."

Cena was thrilled to get the chance to join such a massive blockbuster franchise.

He recently said: "Being part of a franchise is great, and being in a group that gets to change the face of it, I think that's pretty fun."
