All I can think of is that you may have accidentally flipped the "Comment Screening:" setting for this post. Check the edit page, it's the middle of the menu selectors just above the "Preview" and "Spellsheck" buttons. If it's not that, then I don't know what it is - that's all I can think of.
While Optimus has always been given official stats that place him slightly lower than Megatron (Optimus has two 8s - I can't recall what on - while Megatron had a clean sweep of 10s), but he's still a very strong mech. G1 is less clear on hieghts than movieverse, but even then I think they did try to make Optimus at least a head taller than most, so yes, he could potentially be intimidating that way.
The thought comes to me that one reason Prime doesn't get angry much is because he tries to control himself. He knows he has a very powerful temper, so he does his best to never show it in public - he prefers to inspire and befriend than intimidate and scare.
