Optimus Prime (WFC)

From Transformers Wiki

The name or term "Optimus Prime" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Optimus Prime

(disambiguation).

Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots from the Aligned continuity family.

The Cybertronian who would become Optimus Prime was once a simple data clerk, satisfied with his job. He was always anxious of the inequality

amongst the cybertronians and thus, after gaining inspiration from an outspoken gladiator named Megatron's call for an upheaval of Cybertron's society,

took a stand to rid the oppressive caste system which hindered the freedom of all the sentient beings on Cybertron. Little did he realize that his instructor,

the master archivist Alpha Trion, knew of a secret potential within the data clerk, and that Cybertron's history was at a precipice. Once he and Megatron

discovered they did not have as much in common as they once believed, the lowly data clerk was promoted by the High Council to be the next Prime.

Over the centuries, loss and war have led Optimus to appear stern and serious to most. But scratch the surface, and you'll find an individual who greatly

cares for his fellow living beings, with a warmth and kindness his closest friends can rely on. You'll also find regret over the loss of a comrade to

Like all Cybertronians, when Orion Pax emerged from the Well of All Sparks, he was taught how to transform, to select a natural alternate mode, and

was put in a caste. At the Hall of Records, Orion would read and index information from the Communication Grid, but was forbidden to analyze. Thatwas Jazz's job, and the two became friends. Orion began monitoring Megatron's transmissions, and began a secret correspondence with him because he

agreed with his beliefs. They had intense but friendly debates over the nature of free will and the dangerousness of their ideals, and Megatron suggested

Orion learn how to fight for his beliefs. Orion began training with Jazz, learning to fire an ion-cannon and to fashion his arms into an axe and a sword.

Orion made his first trip to Kaon to meet Megatron in person at his base. Megatron was the only gladiator who gave Orion a warm welcome. Terrorists

began bombings in Megatron's name, and he made his first public announcement on the Grid, stating he was not responsible for the attacks and would

bring the perpetrators to justice. Orion followed him up with a speech of his own. Orion trusted Megatron, believing if he were responsible for the

attacks, he would have wanted to be associated with them. Later, when Shockwave took him to meet Megatron at an arena beneath the Observatory of

Iacon, Orion was shocked to see Jazz in attendance, and that Megatron had heard rumors about the bombings but did nothing to prevent them.

Lookin' awful buff and armored for an insignificant

young library clerk. One has to wonder if the Guilds

may have dropped the ball on this one.

When "Decepticons" kidnapped Sentinel Prime, Orion requested Alpha Trion arrange an

audience with High Council for him and Megatron. During their hearing in the High Council

Tower, Orion rigorously defended their ideals, even reviving the ancient philosophical phrase

"Autobots" to describe the autonomy his brethren sought. It was then Councilor Halogen

declared Orion the new Prime: Optimus Prime. An outraged Megatron accused his brother of

treachery, and then murdered Halogen. When Optimus ordered the Elite Guard to not harm

Megatron, Megatron declared Optimus had fallen into the trappings of power the High Council

had foisted upon him, and those in attendance dispersed, with the planet forever divided intoAutobots and Decepticons.

Optimus forgoed the first engagement of the war, allowing the Decepticons to take Fort Scyk so

he would gain time to recruit more Autobots. Optimus learned from Jazz after the fall of Scyk

that he would have to learn to not mourn every soldier. Optimus fought for the first time during

the next battle, the siege of the Hydrax Plateau. The first Cybertronian he ever killed was a

former industrial drone named Drixco. Afterwards Optimus confided to Alpha Trion that the act

of killing alone made him feel he was on the wrong side. Despite the efforts of Optimus and Ultra Magnus the Decepticons conquered the Hydrax

Plateau. It was at the stalemate of Praxus that Optimus gained the indispensable allies Prowl and Ironhide. The first Autobot victory was at Kalis, a vitalarea due to its fusion reactor that powered Iacon. Optimus, Jazz and Sideswipe worked together to bring down the monstrous Bruticus Maximus, but the

battle was mostly won due to the Seekers' absence. As Energon depleted, the war descended into a mere siege of Iacon lasting millions of cycles, and

Optimus opted to eject the AllSpark itself into space: during this battle Optimus gained another great friend in Bumblebee.

Following a lull in the war, the Decepticons began using Dark Energon and routed the Autobots, but Optimus wisely predicted it was an inefficient

resource that would run out soon. To his horror, Megatron and Starscream infiltrated Teletraan-1 to steal the Plasma Energy Chamber, and although

Teletraan-1 awakened the legendary Omega Supreme to ferry the Chamber to safety, the Dark Energon-powered Decepticons overpowered the

Autobots and used the Chamber to corrupt the Core of Cybertron and infested the planet with Dark Energon. During the battle, Megatron revealed he

had killed Sentinel Prime below the High Council Tower to gain access to the Chamber. Afterwards Prowl picked up a message from Sentinel on theGrid, and Optimus, realizing he had not found Sentinel's body in Iacon, deduced Sentinel was alive. When Optimus, Jazz and Prowl rescued him from

Kaon Prison, they found the city strangely deserted. Optimus believed Dark Energon was having a severe effect on Decepticon morale. When they found

Sentinel, he was dying. He regretted his overlong reign as Prime, and that the High Council had made the right decision in appointing Optimus Prime. He

finally told him he had to go to the Core and purge its corruption of Dark Energon.

After Sentinel's funeral in Iacon, where Optimus was officially appointed Prime after holding the de facto position for so long, he journeyed to the Core

with Bumblebee and Jetfire and removed the Plasma Energy Chamber. It was then a voice from the Core told Optimus he was too late, and the

Autobots would have to leave Cybertron as the planet healed itself. But it finally bestowed upon him the Matrix of Leadership, the essence of Primus,

explaining that while Sentinel lived, he was still Prime, and that he had been unworthy of the Matrix. It told him that when the day came that they would

return to Cybertron, the Core and the Matrix would restore the planet and Optimus would lead the Autobots in an "age of unimagined wonders".

Afterwards, Optimus launched Project Generation One, to build a shipthat Jazz dubbed theArkto take them to the stars, a plan some Autobots

objected to.

But before their exodus, Optimus planned to fool Megatron by gathering every spaceworthy vessel and having them rendezvous at what was apparently

the last remaining space bridge in orbit. Megatron ordered Trypticon fire on the ships, but Optimus ordered a fallback as he, Jetfire, Jazz, Ironhide,

Prowl, Sideswipe and Bumblebee flew theEight Trackto board the monster and knocked him from orbit by blasting his Spark containment field.

Optimus's team returned to find theArkready at the Well of All Sparks, and bid goodbye to thoseincluding Jetfire, Magnus and Omegawho stayed

to fend off Trypticon as he transformed to attack. Optimus also bade farewell to Alpha Trion, who believed Vector Sigma would protect him when therest of the planet would be unable to sustain life: it was then Optimus realized Alpha Trion was one of the thirteen original Transformers.

Yet as theArktook off the Decepticons overran Iacon and Megatron and his elite boarded Trypticon, who transformed into aNemesis-class cruiser

and pursued the Autobots. Megatron used his and Orion's old frequency to inform Optimus that he would pursue him across the stars and eventually kill

him. TheArkentered the last space bridge and emerged with theNemesis gone. They were near a spiral galaxy and Prowl detected the AllSpark.

Knowing the Matrix within would help them find a way home, Optimus vowed that the Autobots would continue to wage their battle across the stars.Exodus

Exiles

After passing through the unstable Space Bridge, Optimus Prime and his crew found themselves in the vicinity of the lost Cybertronian colony world of

Velocitron, and with the help of a starmap projected by the Matrix, the Autobots entered orbit above the planet. Optimus Prime led a small exploratory

team to the planet's surface, where they met Blurr, Override and Ransack. It was a time of great stress between Velocitron's rulers, and the Autobots'

arrival from mythical Cybertron only exacerbated the situation. Worse still, active acts of sabotage on the Ark led the Autobots to the conclusion that one

of their crew was actually a Decepticon agent. Optimus concluded there was little they could do at the moment other than remain on guard. Later,

Optimus traveled with a young Velocitronian named Clocker to Velocitron's south pole, where he discovered a fragment of metal that he thought might

belong to the mythical Star Saber. His investigations were cut short by an attack of rebel Velocitronians, forcing him to return to the city of Delta, where

he discovered what he thought was another fragment. Although the Autobots secured an ally in Override, they left Velocitron on the brink of civil warduring their departure, as Ransack's followers had been corrupted by the Decepticon rhetoric of "peace through tyranny" spread by the Ark's traitor.

The next leg of their journey through the Space Bridge brought the Autobots to fabled Junkion, a world composed entirely of space junk. Optimus Prime

made contact with the leader of the planet's inhabitants, a scatterbrained robot named Wreck-Gar, who was spurred to action by the appearance of the

Matrix. The Autobots went to work repairing the Ark, with the relative assistance of the Junkions. Prime discovered another fragment in a forge, and

barely managed to rescue it. When Prowl discovered the traitorous Makeshift was aboard, Optimus and Jazz managed to identify and trap the shifter in a

stasis field, ending his threat to the Autobots. However, Optimus Prime's Matrix-induced visions led him on a quest through one of the four Space Bridge

nodes surrounding Junkion, and he selected Bumblebee and Silverbolt to accompany him. Through the Bridge they came across the lonely tomb of Solus

Prime, fabled artificer of the Thirteen. Her holographic spirit was called forth by the Matrix and informed the Autobots that the Requiem Blaster, mostdeadly of her creations, rested on Junkion and must be kept out of Decepticon hands. When the group returned to Junkion with Chaindrive in tow,

The possibility of the Dinobots reacting negatively

was a factor I allowed for in my planning.

Manga is the right of all sentient

beings.

Optimus assembled his findings- the Blades of Time and contacted the reclusive Vector Prime.

The Decepticons eventually arrived on Junkion in force, and the two sides warred over a hidden treasure at the planet's core...the Requiem Blaster. A

weapon capable of drawing infinite power from nearby stellar sources, the Requiem Blaster had its own gravity field, and had literally been the core

around which Junkion's "junk" had formed. Optimus and Megatron dueled once more as the planet tore itself apart, but the arrival of the mythical hero

Nexus Prime helped to turn the tide. From him, Optimus received the Cyber Caliber, a powerful sword that he used to fight Megatron to a standstill. The

fighting over the Requiem Blaster ripped the planet apart, but both sides eventually called off the melee and abandoned the Blaster after learning the

location of the Allspark itself. Optimus Prime and the Autobots boarded the Ark and began the long race to reach their civilization's greatest prize beforeMegatron could. Exiles

IDW Fall of Cybertron andPrime comics

During the war for Cybertron, Optimus Prime and the Lightning Strike Coalition leader

Grimlock didn't see eye to eye. Optimus preferred playing the long game, but Grimlock felt that

caution would hinder their attempts at quick victory. During one of the Lightning Strike

Coalition's missions, Optimus Prime ordered them to return to base and abandon their battle,

lest they waste precious energon. Grimlock reluctantly obeyed. However, when it wasdiscovered that Swoop was in Decepticon custody, the Lightning Strike Coalition ignored

Optimus Prime's orders, broke ranks, and went after him on their own. Good Intentions

In the modern day, Optimus sent an encrypted message

from Earth directing the Autobots to their new world.

When Cliffjumper and Arcee landed, Optimus and

Bumblebee detected them and came to retrieve them.

For Optimus to find them under attack from Starscream

and Breakdown was no matter, for Optimus crushed theair commander and sent his brawny accomplice running.

Optimus picked up the wounded Arcee, and took her

through a GroundBridge to his base for Ratchet to repair her, while informing Cliffjumper that while his journey

was over, their battle was just beginning. Prime

In the waning years of the Golden Age of Cybertron, Orion Pax was a clerk in the Iacon Hall of

Records, One Shall Rise, Part 3 mentored by Alpha Trion. New Recruit His interests lay with the tales

of ancient Cybertron history, but the more he learned about the past, the more he grew

concerned about the present. There was a disparity in freedom among the classes of his race,

and the ruling class was corrupt and all-powerful. In seeking a solution to this inequity, he found

inspiration in the words of a gladiator named Megatronus, and the two joined forces to end

corruption and bring equality to the masses. One Shall Rise, Part 3 Optimus and Megatron became

close allies, almost like brothers. But soon Megatron's ideals would become corrupted, and the

two would become bitter enemies. Masters & Students

Both Megatronusnow "Megatron"and Orion Pax

appeared before the High Council, and Megatron stated

it was his intention to overthrow the High Council by force and instate himself as the next Prime. But it was Orion's

speech that drew their attention. Jealous, Megatron left angrily and began his conquest, which resulted in countlesscasualties and left the Core of Cybertron itself poisoned. It was Orion's subsequent search for the Core that

completed his transformation into Optimus Prime. The Core, the essence of their creator Primus, relinquished the

Matrix of Leadership into his chassis. One Shall Rise, Part 3

During the war, Optimus encountered Skyquake at the Battle of Technahar when the Decepticon was sent by

Megatron to kill him. Masters & Students After Cybertron was abandoned, Optimus Prime's elite team of Autobots

eventually made their way to Earth, where they allied themselves with the United States government. The Autobots

were assigned William Fowler as their liaison, and provided an abandoned missile silo as a base in exchange for

keeping the Decepticon threat contained. Darkness Rising, Part 2 Optimus then sent a message into space, calling anyAutobot survivors to Earth. Out of the Past

After three years of Decepticon absence, Prime was out on the road when word reached him that

Cliffjumper was facing down an entire contingent of Decepticons. Arriving to the battlefield too late,

Prime delivered a eulogy for their fallen comrade. Soon after, some humans were caught up in a battle

between the Autobots and Decepticons, and Optimus, knowing that they would now be targeted by the

Decepticons, had them brought to the Autobot base. There, he told them about the Transformer war and

assigned the Autobots to be their individual guardians. Darkness Rising, Part 1 Presently, the apparent

reactivation of Cliffjumper's lifesigns was detected by the Autobots, and they tracked it to a DecepticonEnergon mine, where they discovered that Megatron had returned to Earth with Dark Energon, used to

Pssst, Prime, your barrel openings are just

"Okay, now I'm ready to call Bulkhead fat."

revive Cliffjumper as a zombie Terrorcon. Darkness Rising, Part 2

Realizing that Megatron's goal was to create an undead army, Optimus and Ratchet headed to the site of

an ancient Transformer battleground on Earth, arriving just as Megatron used a sliver of Dark Energon to reanimate the corpses buried there into a

Terrorcon legion. Darkness Rising, Part 3 Struggling against the detrimental effects of Dark Energon, the pair cut their way through the Terrorcons, but

Megatron escaped before Optimus could get his hands on him. Returning to base, Optimus was disappointed to find that Bulkhead had let the kids go

out into battle in his absence, but disturbing intel had been recovered in the process: the Decepticons were planning to use a space bridge to revive the

dead of Cybertron with Dark Energon. Darkness Rising, Part 4 GroundBridging to the Decepticon's space bridge in Earth orbit, Optimus faced Megatron

down in a one-on-one battle while the other Autobots sabotage the bridge, causing it to explode and destroy the Terrorcons, and apparently, Megatron

himself. Darkness Rising, Part 5

Despite the victory, Optimus regretted not having been able to turn Megatron to the path of peace, and

Ratchet consoled the Autobot leader. When Decepticon activity was detected in an area of the desert,

Optimus and Bumblebee went to investigate, discovering that Starscream had located and reactivated

Skyquake from stasis. Optimus tried to appeal to the two Decepticons to consider a truce now that

Megatron had gone, but Starscream merely mocked his request and Skyquake was determined to carry

out his late master's wishes and terminate Prime. Optimus and Bumblebee found themselves forced tobattle and destroy Skyquake, with some assistance from Fowler, but they respectfully buried their fallen

foe and Prime lamented the circumstances. Masters & Students

After Bulkhead and Bumblebee found a pod in the Arctic

and brought it back to base, Optimus and Arcee went

back to the Arctic to check for clues as to the pod's origin. After some time searching, the temperature

sensors Ratchet had given them went off, so Optimus attempted to contact base, only to find the comms

were down. The pair sought shelter, but as their temperatures slowly dropped, things looked grim. Just

as they were losing hope, the GroundBridge opened and ejected Bulkhead and the swarm of Scrapletsthat had been causing havoc at base. The three Autobots were subsequently able to return home, and

Optimus paid tribute to their human friends who had helped eliminate the Scraplets. Scrapheap

When Bulkhead's old buddy Wheeljack arrived on Earth, Optimus excused himself from the welcome

party and went out on patrol, since "Primes don't party". As such, he missed all the fun when Wheeljack turned out to be a Decepticon spy, but he stuck

around for the second part to welcome the real Wheeljack, telling the visiting Autobot that he'd always be welcome on Earth. Con Job Not long after,

when the Autobots were contracted by Fowler to help transport the experimental Dynamic Nuclear Generation System, Optimus carried the device in a

trailer to the rendezvous point, where it was transferred to a train. Unfortunately, the D.N.G.S. became a target for both the Decepticons and the human

terrorist organization MECH, and Prime was forced to have his Autobots break cover to fight Vehicons while he dispatched MECH's leader Silas. Apoor loser, Silas took out the train track ahead and Optimus went into maximum overdrive, grabbing the train and physically halting it. Convoy

Tracking an Energon Harvester to a museum, Optimus

Prime and the Autobots were attacked by new

Decepticons arrivals Knock Out and Breakdown, and

Prime got the business end of Knock Out's Energon

prod, taking him out of the fight long enough for

Soundwave to make off with the Harvester. Optimus led

the Autobots in following the villains to Greece, and

stopped their attempts to harvest an Energon seam there.Deus ex Machina Prime had another clash with Knock Out

soon after: when he discovered that Arcee and Jack had

disobeyed his orders against using powers for personal

gain by participating in illegal street races, Optimus intervened, and helped rescued a captive human from

Knock Out's clutches by ripping the Decepticon's door off. Speed Metal

While investigating a crashed Autobot spacecraft, Optimus Prime's hopes of helping any survivors were

dashed when the craft turned out to be a corpse-strewn plague ship from which he contracted Cybonic

plague, a pathogen engineered by Megatron himself. Arcee and Bumblebee boarded theNemesis insearch of a cure, and, discovering that Megatron was still alive and in stasis, Bumblebee entered his mind

via a cortical psychic patch. In his dreamworld, Megatron was constantly killing imaginary Optimus

Primes, and Bumblebee played on Megatron's desire to kill Optimus himself, rather than have him

succumb to the plague, to convince him to hand over the cure. Sick Mind After getting back up to full

health, Optimus led the Autobots to the Arctic, where Starscream was using a heat ray to melt a glacier in

order to access an energon deposit. Prime boldly ploughed through the weapon's beam in order to get

close enough to destroy it, but the resultant explosion left him helpless before Starscreamuntil he was

saved at the last moment when the resurrected Megatron arrived to haul Starscream away for punishment.

Out of His Head

Optimus Prime led the Autobots in investigating a Dark Energon energy signature, and found Starscream

using the substance to resurrect Skyquake. Fortunately, the additional power conveyed upon Starscrea

by the Dark Energon was not enough to prevent Optimus Prime from blasting his arm clean off.

Presently, a GroundBridge accident catapulted Jack, Miko and Raf into an alternate dimension, and

when the Autobots opened a portal to bring them back, Prime took the Autobots back to the battlefield

to protect them from Starscream. Shadowzone Optimus's inimitable compassion even extended to

Breakdown, when he was captured by the forces of MECH and Optimus determined they would rescue

him. Operation: Breakdown Later, Optimus was at the Autobot base when Jack and Arcee brought Jack'smom in to introduce her to everyone. Crisscross He was out on a scouting mission with Bumblebee when

We've replaced Optimus w ith a statue.

Think anyone will notice?

Who will join me? Who will become

stronger, faster, more insubordinate?

Slap slap.

Ratchet detected a strange magnetic signature that turned out to be a Polarity gauntlet, Metal Attraction and

also missed out on an adventure in a collapsed mine, but when he heard that Jack had shown mercy to an immobilized Megatron, he was proud of the

boy. Raf's Notes

Exploring the wreck of a crashed Decepticon ship, Optimus Prime and his team fell victim to Airachnid,

who paralyzed Prime and Bulkhead with the ship's cargo: an experimental Immobilizer. Prime would have

wound up handed over to Megatron and mounted on the bow of theNemesis if not for Bumblebee, who

saw the villainess off, and Ratchet, who repaired the damaged device and unfroze the pair. Partners

Lost Cybertronian technology continued to cause

problems for Prime and the Autobots when a formula for

Synthetic Energon was beamed from a Cybertronian data

cylinder into Bulkhead's mind, putting his life at risk.

Refusing to sacrifice Bulkhead despite the advantage the

formula would give the Autobots, Prime petitioned

Megatron for the return of the cylinder so they could extract the data. In exchange, he would hand it

over to the Decepticons, but Megatron refused and destroyed the device after a battle. The formula wassubsequently beamed out of Bulkhead's mind into space, T.M.I. but when Ratchet proceeded to

generate a batch of "SynthEn" and was driven mentally unstable after testing it on himself, he and

Optimus came to blows, and Optimus confined him to base. Ratchet instead took off to face Megatron,

forcing Prime to lead a team into a Decepticon mine to rescue him. Cured of the SynthEn's effects,

Optimus reminded Ratchet that he was a vital member of the team. Stronger, Faster

Believing that a prophecy in the Covenant of Primus was soon to come true and that Megatron could

regard it as his destiny, Optimus Prime was finally forced to abandon any illusions of turning his old foe to

the path of good after the Decepticon leader grievously wounded Raf during a battle over a power sourcefor the villain's new space bridge. Optimus boarded theNemesis and called Megatron out for a one-on-

one battle that he vowed would be their last. The two ancient enemies fought before a volcano, and

Optimus managed to fell Megatron, but just before he could deliver the killing blow, the volcano erupted

with Dark Energon. Megatron experienced an increase in power, and turned the tide, One Shall Fall but

thankfully, the intervention of the other Autobots saved Optimus's life. Retreating to base to review this

new nightmare scenario, Optimus recounting the tale of Primus, Unicron and the Thirteen to the gathered

humans and told them he believed that Earth had formed around the slumbering form of Unicron, who was

now in the process of awakening. Examining areas of the planet struck by earthquakes at the moment of the eruption, Optimus soon found himself

confronted by Unicron himself, in an avatar formed from rock and stone. He prostrated himself before the Chaos Bringer and tried to plead for the livesof the billions of humans who dwelt on Earth, but Unicron considered them parasites and attacked Prime with wave after wave of avatars.

"You mean I can't just go Super Mode and kick

your ass in this show? Crap."

One Shall Rise, Part 1

He ordered the other Autobots notto come to his aid, so naturally they came anyway. After

fighting increasingly larger Unicrons, they came up against one that was too much for them. Just

as it was about to step on Optimus, help came in the unlikely form of Megatron, who offered his

services in eliminating Unicron and revealed that only the Matrix of Leadership held by Optimus

could achieve that aim. The Autobots returned to base, where the others were horrified that

Prime was intending to take up Megatron's offer, but he was resolute that all care would betaken to make sure it was a safe as possible. When Megatron stepped into the base, Optimus

and the other Autobots welcomed him appropriately. Before they left on their mission, Optimus

presented Jack with the key to the GroundBridge power supply. Optimus, Megatron and the

Autobots were soon stepping through the GroundBridge to Earth's core, Unicron himself.One Shall Rise, Part 2

As they moved through Unicron's internal structure, they came under attack from antibodies. Optimus and Megatron fought back to back, though

Optimus took time out to rescue Bulkhead from falling. When they reach Unicron's spark chamber, Optimus and Megatron went inside, and, though the

dark god possessed Megatron, Optimus unleashed the Matrix, apparently extinguishing Unicron's spark. However the price was highOptimus'smemory was lost and he believed himself to be Orion Pax. Megatron played along, and took him back to theNemesis. One Shall Rise, Part 3

Megatron wasted no time in convincing Orion that black was white and up was down. Branded

with the Decepticon insignia by Knock Out, Orion was shown false history of Cybertron's

destruction, and convinced that the Autobots were the aggressors. Angered at Cybertron's loss,

Orion promised Megatron he would do his part to help. He was put to work decoding

information stolen from the Iacon archives, and told Megatron they were of locations of Earth,

and feared that they could be weapons of mass destruction. Later, there was a commotion in the

corridors, and Orion decided to investigate despite being ordered to remain in his lab, however

Soundwave managed to prevent him from seeing Arcee when the Autobot managed to get on-

board. Not long after, the long-absent Starscream sneaked onto the ship to steal energon cubes

and ended up blundering into Orion's work room. Orion Pax, Part 1

Surprised to see Starscream, not least because Megatron had said he was dead, Orion's

suspicions became aroused as Starscream noted Megatron would likely have told him many lies.

Despite asking what he knew, Starscream was quick to depart when more Vehicon guards

arrived and in spite of Orion attempting to convince them to hold their fire. After Megatron's subsequent covering of the incident, Orion decided to poke

through the Decepticon database and learned that he was Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots. Orion Pax, Part 2

What did I do last night?

This scene is even funnier if you imagine "Mahna

Mahna" playing on the radio.

Megatron, as it turned out, already knew he knew since his work was being monitored. Orion

decided to delete his discoveries so that Megatron could not use them, however Megatron

revealed he was also having his work copied. As Soundwave reported activity on Cybertron,

Megatron had more Vehicon guards put at his back while he dealt with the matter, and

threatened to kill him if he didn't continue his work. Orion tried to appeal to the guards to help

him warn the Autobots, but they responded with a beating until he discovered he was armed and

stopped them. Having realised he was meant to be an Autobot, Orion went to confront

Megatron at the space bridge. However, he found he was no match for the Decepticon leaderand was quickly overpowered. Just then, Arcee leapt through the space bridge from Cybertron

and tackled Megatron. Behind her was Jack with the Key to Vector Sigma, loaded with the

information from the Matrix of Leadership. Orion questioned whether he was worthy, and Jack

assured him he was. When his memory was restored, albeit minus his time as Orion, Optimus

prevented Megatron from exterminating his comrades, and they returned to the Autobot base for a big reunion. Orion Pax, Part 3

Optimus and Ratchet followed an ancient signal, and found Megatron and his forces unearthing a Cybertronian artifact, the Spark Extractor. While the

two Autobots fought the other Decepticons, Bumblebee snatched the extractor from Megatron inside the GroundBridge. Later at base, Optimus

theorized that the Spark Extractor was among the many Decepticon weapons confiscated during the Great War, and worried that he couldn't rememberwhat he had revealed to Megatron when he was suffering amnesia. To compound matters, a short time later, MECH stole Bumblebee's T-cog, causing

Prime more worry. Operation Bumblebee, Part 1 Despite Optimus's misgivings, Ratchet talked him into approving a T-cog transplant between Ratchet and

Bumblebee. When a signal indicating an artifact was detected, he cut the operation short to take Arcee and Bulkhead to secure it. Unfortunately, he and

Arcee were unable to penetrate Knock Out's force field, and the Decepticons got away with the Forge of Solus Prime. Operation Bumbl ebee, Part 2

When Wheeljack returned to Earth in pursuit of Dreadwing, Optimus attempted to convince him

to join the Autobot team. Wheeljack instead took Bulkhead to try and trap Dreadwing, only to

fall into a trap themselves. Prime had to dig Wheeljack out of the resulting rubble, and joined him

to rescue Bulkhead, who was strapped to one of Dreadwing's explosives. When Optimusmanaged to defeat the Decepticon and pin him, his gambit to make Dreadwing defuse the bomb

worked, and Wheeljack gained a new respect for the Autobot leader. Loose Cannons

After obtaining information on Airachnid's whereabouts from Starscream, Optimus led a mission

to an abandoned energon mine in South America, where they found Megatron fighting an

Insecticon under Airachnid's control. When the fight was finished, the Autobots surrounded the

exhausted Megatron, but were prevented from finishing him off by the arrival of Dreadwing.

Outnumbered, Optimus offered to allow Megatron go if Dreadwing extended the same courtesy.

Though Dreadwing kept his word, Megatron ordered the Vehicons to attack while he andDreadwing escaped, but luckily the Autobots trashed them. Crossfire

"Optimus Prime, slavery is the right of all sentient

beings!"

"Wow, am I really that annoying?"

Optimus returned to base from an energon mine to find that MECH had created a clone of him

and were using it to attack the military. He and the Autobots attempted to stop Nemesis Prime

from attacking Alden Military Base, but had to retreat under fire from the military. They began

scouring the area, and located the MECH base, where Optimus fought one-on-one with

Nemesis Prime, until a distraction by Fowler allowed him to finish off the Silas-controlled

machine, dropping it on Silas himself. Optimus returned to base for repairs, and Fowler gave

them the news that Silas had disappeared. Nemesis Prime During Fowler's debriefing by General

Bryce, Optimus revealed himself to the general to prove he was still alive and on the military'sside. Grill

Optimus took Bumblebee and Arcee to investigate some activity and found Airachnid sending

out a swarm of Insecticons to attack theNemesis. He and Bumblebee ended up having to fight

a bunch of them and won. They got to return to base with Airachnid, whom Arcee had trapped

in stasis-lock. Armada After theNemesis crashed, and was reactivated with Dark Energon,

Optimus took a team with the Spark Extractor to attack the warship, only for them to all be knocked into stasis lock by the ship's weapons. Ratchet

took them back to base, where they recovered after the conscious ship was disabled by the kids. Flying Mind

With the locations of four relics now in their possession, Optimus dispatched Arcee and Bumblebee to New York City to find the first Tunnel Vision and

warned Bulkhead to be careful in obtaining another near the equator. Toxicity Optimus himself went to Antarctica, where he found the relic had already

been taken, and Dreadwing had Starscream a prisoner. During the ensuing fight, Optimus brought tons of ice down on Dreadwing, before forcing

Starscream to lead him to a human base where the relic was being kept. Dreadwing caught up with them, and while Optimus fought the Decepticon,

Starscream obtained the Apex Armor, forcing Optimus and Dreadwing to team up to defeat him. Though Dreadwing intended to fight him again,

Optimus convinced him that there would be no point in continuing their fight, so Dreadwing left. Triangulation

Back at base, Prime found that Bulkhead had been critically wounded during the relic missions. Optimus refused to tell Wheeljack who was responsible,

but the Wrecker rushed off anyway. When Wheeljack and Miko later returned having killed Hardshell, Optimus stopped Ratchet from preventing Mikofrom running to Bulkhead's side. Hurt Optimus began attempting to decode the Iacon database, though it was hard going with the Earth technology he

was forced to use. Out of the Past

During a mission to investigate a crashed escape pod, the team encountered Smokescreen whose tales of guarding Alpha Trion convinced Optimus that

he was on the level. Optimus still believed Smokescreen was too green to go into combat, so the new Autobot was left at base when Prime took a team

to recover some Red Energon. When they encountered Starscream, still in possession of the Apex Armor, Optimus took the Decepticon on himself,

kicking Starscream off a crane. After Smokescreen used the phase shifter to separate Starscream from the armor, Optimus officially welcomed the new

Autobot to the team. New Recruit When Fowler notified them that a Project Damocles satellite had been stolen by Breakdown and Silas, Optimus took a

team to a military base in the hope of securing the satellite control codes before the Decepticons could get them. Instead they found themselves facing

The Human Factor Optimus assigned Jack to help Smokescreen adapt to Earth. He had almost

finished decoding another set of Iacon coordinates when a signal led him and his team on a wild

goose chase. Despite this, they found the location of the real relic, the Star Saber, and Optimus

managed to wrest control of it off the Decepticons. Through the sword's power, he received a

message from Alpha Trion. Legacy

Trion told him of the existence of theOmega Keys on Earth, and Prime

immediately set about decoding the four

final coordinates from the Iacon

database. After Arcee returned from the

first set of coordinates with news that Megatron had invited Prime to come get the first key,

Optimus went to Egypt to find that Megatron had grafted the arm of a Prime onto himself and

forged the Dark Star Saber. Though Megatron's new weapon shattered the Star Saber, with

Smokescreen's help Prime returned to base with the first Omega Key and resumed his decoding

work. Alpha/Omega

He soon decoded more coordinates decoded though in both cases the Autobots failed to secure

the Omega Keys. Smokescreen was hit hard by the failure, and Optimus told the other other

Autobots to allow the upset rookie space. When the final coordinates he decoded turned out to

be an image of Smokescreen, he took the team to find their comrade, only to arrive too late as

Smokescreen was captured by Soundwave. Hard Knocks After Smokescreen escaped the

Nemesis with two of the keys, the Autobots received a message from Starscream offering the

final key in exchange for surgical help. Optimus took Bulkhead and Ratchet out to Starscream's

location, only to realize too late that they'd been tricked, and Starscream got away with all three of the Autobots' three Omega Keys. Inside Job

After Dreadwing returned the Forge of Solus Prime to the Autobots, Optimus used it to modify the GroundBridge into a space bridge. Believing that

Megatron would use the keys to restore Cybertron for political points, Optimus took the Autobots to their home world, and kept Megatron busy with

the reforged Star Saber while the others took back the keys. Though they succeeded, and reached the Omega Lock, Megatron revealed he had taken

the Autobots' human friends hostage. Regeneration

With no other choice, Optimus had everyone hand over the Omega Keys in exchange for the kids, however when it turned out Megatron intended to use

the Omega Lock on Earth as well, Optimus was compelled to use the Star Saber to destroy the lock. He and his team returned to Earth, only to find that

the Omega Lock had created a Decepticon fortress on their doorstep, and he ordered the others to evacuate. Prime himself stayed behind to destroy theGroundBridge, and was caught in the explosion as the Decepticons destroyed the base. Darkest Hour

"...Nothing ever dies we will rise again."

Here's your damn beef!

Optimus was salvaged from the wreckage by Smokescreen, who sheltered Prime in an

underground cavern. Darkmount, NV Though Smokescreen was unable to find any medical

supplies for his badly-damaged leader, Optimus asked after the Forge of Solus Prime. Scattered

Smokescreen retrieved the relic from the Decepticon warship, however Optimus refused to use

it on himself, believing the power should be conserved for later use in repairing the Omega

Lock, and that the Autobots needed a new leaderSmokescreen. Prey

As his life faded, Optimus had a vision of

approaching Alpha Trion and the

Allspark. His journey to the afterlife was

cut short, as Smokescreen used the

Forge to revive him, bestowing on him a

new, more powerful body. He flew to Darkmount, where he rescued Ultra Magnus from

Megatron's tender mercies, and proceeded to throw the Decepticon leader into the power core

for the fortress's fusion cannons. His efforts allowed Fowler's squadron to destroy the fortress,

and the Autobots reassembled at a military base. Rebellion

After scanning a new vehicle mode provided by Fowler, Optimus scouted some Decepticon

activity and found some Insecticons digging up a skull. He managed to secure the skull, which

turned out to be Predacon remains, leading the Autobots to conclude Shockwave was planning to clone more. After reports of Decepticon activity in

Texas, Optimus took Smokescreen and Bumblebee there, but faced with Shockwave and Soundwave, the trio proved unable to prevent the

Decepticons obtaining more Predacon CNA. Project Predacon

A lull in Decepticon activity made Optimus suspect that their enemy had collected sufficient fossils. He and the others went on a mission to secure more

energon, only for Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack to find and destroy the Decepticon cloning laboratory. When the pair were attacked by the newly-

intelligent Predaking, Optimus arrived in the nick of time to save them from termination and flew them back to base. Evolution

When the Decepticons started raiding technology from the humans again, Optimus wondered what they were up to this time. He led a team to one of the

thefts, and though they were unable to prevent the Vehicons from getting away, Optimus managed to shoot down Soundwave and take the Decepticon

captive. Their attempts to interrogate Soundwave were unsuccessful, and Optimus took his team to the Solaris particle collider in response to another

Decepticon attack. He found himself facing Predaking, and though he initially gained the upper hand, Predaking turned the tables and sent Prime plunging

to the ground. Minus One Optimus continued to fight, but was only saved by the fact that Predaking was called away to rescue Shockwave. He and the

rest of the team returned to base to find Ratchet had been abducted by Soundwave. Persuasion

Optimus himself reached the ship by air, only to be immediately attacked by Megatron wielding the Dark Star Saber. With his jet pack damaged,

Optimus still managed to climb onto the ship and eventually make his way to the Omega Lock on its underside, allowing him to briefly attack Shockwave

before Megatron caught up with him to resume their duel. After Bumblebee's death, Optimus found himself dangling from the ship. Before Megatron

could deal a final blow, the warlord was terminated by Bumblebee, who'd been resurrected by the Omega Lock's power. Optimus took command of the

warship and flew it to Cybertron, where they used the Omega Lock to resurrect their home world.

After a final visit back to Earth, and a farewell to both their human friends and Ratchet, Optimus and his team finally departed back to Cybertron.

defences at the Iacon Energon Refinery. Sure enough, Megatron attacked with a small team of Decepticons

but the Autobot gunners managed to take out all but Megatron. To Optimus's surprise, Megatron didn't

abandon his men, instead rescuing them under heavy fire. When Optimus had the opportunity to take a shot,

he hesitated and Megatron's team escaped. For that, Optimus took the blame and was even regarded as a

traitor by some. War Story

Many years later, Optimus's team had settled on Earth. After Ratchet somewhat apologetically unveiled the

Safe, Optimus told him to have more confidence in his work. When Bulkhead managed to uncover a hidden

nuclear missile and a scouting party of Vehicons neared the base, Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee went out

to greet the Decepticons. While Bumblebee knocked the Vehicons into the air, Prime and Arcee blasted

them. They reentered at the base in time to see Fowler arriving with some scientists, and Optimus had some

stern words with their liaison about the mystery bomb and its intended purpose, insisting that Fowler take it

with him when he left. The Safe and the Failsafe

During some downtime, Prime took the other Autobots and the kids to Valley of Fire State Park. At Miko's request, he told the story of his battle with

MUNKY ARMS! MUNKY ARMS!

Megatron in the Iacon Energon Refinery. War Story

On Christmas, Fowler reported to Optimus that Megatron and Starscream had taken control of

the NS Yamal, a nuclear-powered Russian icebreaker. Leaving Arcee and Bulkhead in charge of

the base, Optimus took the other Autobots to the ship and attacked Megatron. As Optimus

fought Megatron, the Decepticon leader outlined his plan to detonate the ship's reactors with a

static lance. Bumblebee managed to wrest the lance off Starscream and threw it to Optimus who

used it to hit Megatron. Once the Decepticons had been dealt with, Optimus's team returned tothe base, where they found it had been turned into an impromptu ice skating rink. Ice Breaker

Optimus was surprised to find the GroundBridge active and asked Bulkhead what the problem

was. Bulkhead's denials were undermined by the Vehicons pouring through the bridge, and

Optimus led the counter-attack. While Optimus and the others kept the Decepticons busy, Raf

and Bumblebee managed to shut down the bridge. Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy! Optimus shared Jack's

suspicions about some recently exploded schools, and had the Autobots check out the other schools in the area. Sure enough, the schools came under

attack by MECH. School Is... Out!

After Starscream stole Air Force One and held the President of the United States ransom, demanding Optimus Prime be turned over bound and gagged,

the Autobot leader worked out from the ransom note where Starscream was. While the other Autobots protected the plane and took on the Vehicons,

Optimus rescued the President by cutting off Starscream's arm and catching her as she fell. After the Decepticon retreated, Optimus made sure the

Autobots left before the aircraft's crew recovered consciousness. All the President's 'Bots!

Lured into a trap in a scrap-metal facility in Zhejiang Province, China, Optimus found his mind had been

zapped into a human by Knock Out's neuron refractor. The Autobot leader mentally contacted the human,

Lin-Che, and guided him in fighting off the attacking Vehicons and reversing the refractor. Back in his own

body, Optimus broke out of the crusher he'd been stuffed into, and fought off the Decepticons. He laterreturned Lin-Che home, to return the favor. The Mind Trap! After Miko was kidnapped by MECH agent

Novo, Optimus joined the hunt to find her. When Novo, now in a mechanoid body thanks to a MECH

experiment, returned Miko to them, Optimus offered him the help of Ratchet and the Autobots' technical

expertise, but Novo turned him down. The Novo Incident

Optimus led a team to the Deep Driller oil platform, and found not the expected environmental terrorists,

but human soldiers in robotic battle suits. After finding dealing with the humans in a non-lethal matter

difficult, Optimus took Jack's suggestion of surrendering, and once General Madison realised his

opponents were alien robots, he stopped fighting. Mad Dogs & Autobots After it turned out that the missing Bulkhead had been imprisoned on the Decepticonwarship, Optimus took a team, including the three kids, to the ship to mount a rescue. During the course of freeing Bulkhead, he trashed at least two

Decepticons and blew a hole through the side of the ship. The Battle for Bulkhead

Optimus and his team took part in a battle against the Decepticons in The Wave. Unsurprisingly, they survived and returned to base to find Bumblebee

and Raf had made a mess in their absence. The Evil Shred Optimus and Bumblebee went on a stealth mission to stop Megatron attacking the Statue of

Liberty, though they found the Decepticon forces there to be more than they expected. Optimus pursued Megatron up the side of the statue, and

managed to defeat the Decepticon leader, but did substantial damage to the statue in the process. He later promised Fowler that the Autobots would fix

it. Protecting the Lady

Knock Out and Breakdown specifically demanded Optimus and Bulkhead come after the two Decepticons took over a TV studio. The Autobots found

themselves forced to run theDown and Outcourse, lest the Decepticons' hostages be harmed. Though Optimus was confused by the inaccurate nature

of theDown and Outset, he and Bulkhead managed to get through the course and rescue the hostages, leading to Knock Out and Breakdown's defeat

at the hands of Arcee. It's a Knock-Out

Optimus Prime sent out a call to all Autobots to come to their new home on Earth. When a team of

Rescue Bots arrived at a military base, Optimus met them there and gave them their new mission: to team

up with the Burns family and help them keep Griffin Rock safe. After presenting them with vehicles to

scan, he introduced them to Charlie Burns and left them to get acquainted. Family of Heroes The Rescue Bots

had trouble learning to work with their new human friends, and they contacted Optimus to tell him as

much, but he was confident that they and the humans would learn to work together. Under Pressure

After the Rescue Bots were fired by the Griffin Rock city council, Heatwave attempted, but failed, to

contact Optimus Prime to request the reassignment of Rescue Force Sigma-17. The Rescue Bots were

later reinstated. The Reign of Morocco

When Bumblebee tracked a meteor to Griffin Rock, he used the Rescue Bots' comms screen to report in with Optimus, who commended Cody Burns

on his work helping the Bots to acclimate. Three of the Rescue Bots were struck with a strange virus from the meteorite, and they consulted with

Steroids are the right of all sentient beings.

Voice actor: Peter Cullen (English), Marco Balzarotti (Italian), Andrei Yaroslavtsev (Russian), Alfredo Martnez (Spain-Spanish)

In the waning days of the war for Cybertron, Optimus spotted a little yellow Autobot in trouble, and

defeated the surrounding drone forces. Ratchet arrived on the scene, and Optimus helped up the Autobot

scout, who revealed his name was Bumblebee. Bumblebee informed Optimus that the Decepticons had

taken control of communication relays, so that the only way to contact Optimus was by messenger. He

also informed Optimus that their leader, Sentinel Zeta Prime, was dead. Optimus suspected Megatron's

hand, and was informed by Bumblebee that the Autobot High Council had gone into hiding because ofthis. Optimus believed that the Council would emerge during a safer time, and formed a team with

Bumblebee and Ratchet.

They drove to the Decagon, where they found Ironhide battling the forces of Starscream. After assisting

him in defeating Starscream's army, they confronted Starscream himself within the Decagon. After the trio

combated and drove off Starscream, a hologram of Zeta Prime's face appeared in the center of the room,

stating that he is being held in the Kaon prison complex. Optimus took Bumblebee and Sideswipe to the

Kaon prison, allowing themselves to be captured so that they could infiltrate the facility. The Decepticons

prepared to execute them, but Air Raid lent a hand so they could escape, though he himself was captured.While sneaking through the corridors, the three managed to free Air Raid, Arcee, and others. They

continued through the hallways, and finally located the room where Zeta is being held, only to face

Soundwave. The Decepticon cowered behind a force field, sending Frenzy, Rumble, and Laserbeak out

to fight for him, only venturing out to administer needed repairs to his minions. As Soundwave's energy

became low, he attempted to drain Zeta Prime, only to be interrupted by Optimus, who took a shot meant

for Zeta. Though Soundwave and his minions retreated, the damage was done, and Zeta Prime died before Optimus could free him.

Optimus brought Zeta's corpse to the site of the hiding High Council, where he lay the dead body in the center of the room. Optimus stated that the

Autobots craved their guidance, but the Council stated that their mission was to choose the Primes, not to lead them. They then told him that Optimus

himself is a Prime, and that he had changed the lives around him. Optimus was then told that Megatron had corrupted the core of Cybertron, and that he

was the one that could remove this blight. He took this burden and responsibility, then was told by the Council that he was now Optimus Prime, the last

Prime.

For a new mission, Optimus selected Ironhide and Warpath, and the team ventured to the entrance of the core, where a corrupted Omega Supreme was

being tortured. After a prolonged battle, the Autobots defeated the torturers and freed Omega Supreme from the Dark Energon influence. Omega

Supreme escaped, and the Autobots found some space slugs to use as steeds. One long journey later, they reached the core and defeated a corrupted

slug. Unfortunately the core itself had become contaminated, and informed Optimus as much. The only solution was for the core to reboot, which would

take millions of years, during which the planet would be unusable, and Optimus realized that the Autobots would have to leave their home. Before

shutting down, the core revealed the Matrix of Leadership, which it installed inside Optimus Prime's chest.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone

Prime.

Origamimus Prime

Optimus arrived back at Iacon, where he ordered all Autobots to evacuate the planet. Megatron announced that

everyone must stay or face destruction, and fired a massive cannon installed in the Dark Energon space station.

Optimus Prime ordered his Air Commander Silverbolt to shut down the cannon with his team. They succeeded,

and the station crashed into Iacon. Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide discovered that the "space station" wasn't

a space station at all: it was the giant Decepticon, Trypticon. They managed to defeat the heavily-armed menace,

who plunged into a pool of energon. The Autobots celebrated their victory, but noticed that they have to

evacuate as well. Optimus revealed a massive starship they would use called the Ark, a ship still under

construction that would allow them to take a part of Cybertron with them across the galaxy.Transformers: War for Cybertron

Voice actor: Peter Cullen (English)

Optimus was a dock worker who found himself caught up in the war against the Decepticons. With the Decepticons on the

hunt for the Omega Key, Zeta Prime sent Optimus and his team to protect the library, knowing he could count on his old

friend. When Zeta Prime was later captured by the Decepticons, he attempted to contact Optimus. The data links keeping himin contact with the Autobots were severed, so Bumblebee tracked down Optimus at an Autobot base. Optimus subsequently

rescued an Autobot rookie from Starscream, chasing the Decepticon off before joining up with Jetfire and destroying other

intruders at the base. Optimus was felled by a laser guard, but revived with the help of Jetfire and Bumblebee. They completed

clearing the base by defeating Dirge, and Optimus announced that the next step was to retake Iacon.

He and his team entered Decepticon-occupied Iacon and destroyed the Dark Energon corruptors, allowing them to get the

Decagon's defense systems back online. While they waited for Zeta Prime to make contact again, Optimus reminded

Bumblebee that they couldn't let Megatron win just by giving up. Zeta let them know that he was being held in Kaon Prison,

and Optimus's team infiltrated the prison in search of him. After an encounter with Onslaught, they ran into Megatron himself,who set more Decepticons on them. When they eventually found Zeta Prime, their leader expired. Optimus returned his body

to the High Council, who appointed Optimus the new Prime.

Optimus Prime attempted to solicit Grimlock's help. Grimlock challenged him to a fight to decide whether to join up, but Swoop's capture by

Decepticons sent the Autobots off on a rescue mission instead. The Autobots tracked Swoop down to a Dark Energon laboratory on the outskirts of

Iacon and freed him from Dark Energon contamination. Swoop's services were subsequently offered to the Autobots by Grimlock, who said he'd follow

along to protect Swoop. Analysis of core samples by Jetfire and Ratchet indicated that they would need to disable to corrupters preventing it from

repairing itself. To this end, Optimus's team traveled to the core and freed it after defeating Brawl.

Realising that the core needed time to repair itself, Optimus ordered the Autobots to evacuate the planet in Arks. He and his team ascended the space
