It's also way too texty
I did a bit of digging trying to see if there might be something in Transformers related to Optimus Prime, when the wiki rabbit hole lead me to Primus apotheosis, a part of which has transformers also develop a martyrdom complex. This is a pic of Pyro in The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers with his Imagine Spot of how he'll die. I modified it so the captions are a bit larger and more readable.

Weak to 7.
I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.Weak to 7, but I’d also say BUPKIS.
Everybody loves the me! I’m a great athlete!7 is way too text-heavy. BUPKIS.
"As long as I have my comrades with me, I can do anything!" (She/Her) (Current Focus: Cleaning Hell Is That Noise misuse)Same.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.7 also fail to show the "martyr" part. It's just a generic action scene and without context, you wouldn't know that he's sacrificing himself.
Blank for now.

The trope doesn't actually require the person die, though, just an extreme willingness to die or put themselves at risk. Some examples like Optimus have the blessing of lots of resurrections, but it's not necessary.
I bring this up just so if anyone else wants to post a suggestion they aren't pigenoholed to examples where the character also dies.

Yea, but even that is not clearly shown there, IMO.
It's not a defining part of the trope, though. Why would it need to?
I meant that the "extreme willingness to die or put themselves at risk" is not clearly demonstrated in the Optimus Prime pic either. People running through a fiery background with weapons blazing is a pretty cliché action scene, not an indicator of martyr-tendency.
Clocking for more opinions/suggestions.
I think the reasoning her has flipped my weak to a because yeah it's kinda just a glorified page quote. I'm gonna say BUPKIS unless someone can find a comic or something that shows and also lampshades the repeat martyrdom.
I'm hesitant to post this for a couple of reasons, mainly that I couldn't find a higher quality version of this clip from The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, but it does parody the typical MWAC over-insistence on protecting loved ones. If anyone has a higher quality source, I can swap out the images or tweak the captions.
That has the same problem for being a glorified page quote. The images are blurry and it's difficult to discern what's going on and it's generally bad-looking.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.How's this? From the Injustice comic.
The panels can be chopped up and rearranged any way you like, of course.
I think that would take at least the first 3 panels and is in the same page-quotey territory as the others. Voting BUPKIS.
Yeah, not feeling any of the suggestions. No pic for now.
The current image isn't link to any trope link. Instead, it's link to other website which is age restricted. Plus, I think it requires reader's knowledge about Tony Stark due it doesn't shown he sacrifice for little to no reason, it's just a bingo board.
Replacement would be nice, but consider what this trope about, it's kinda difficult to have one.
