In an attempt to bring peace to the galaxy, the Autobots require a strong, charismatic leader who can lead from the front, and by example, which are some of the most prominent characteristics of Optimus Prime. He believes that "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", and has fought for thousands of years against the bellicose Decepticons. He does not openly display these emotions to his fellow Autobots however, and sometimes nearly succumbs to despair. He is the complete moral opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron every casualty, human or Cybertronian, soldier or civilian, weighs heavily on his spark.
Originally a working-class civilian, he was chosen by the Matrix to command the Autobots, which was merely the first of a number of burdens he would be forced to bear - another being his unintentional relocation of the Transformers' age-old conflict to Earth. It is possible Optimus Primal is the greatest Cybertronian hero who has ever lived.Ĭome on, let's hear it, the usual destiny and honor speech.76 Optimus Prime is the awe inspiring, powerful and compassionate leader of the Autobot forces. Optimus Primal is extraordinary for not only being able to distinguish himself, despite living in the shadow of Optimus Prime, but he may even have surpassed the greatest of the Autobots, seeing as he saved the life of his namesake and ushered in a new technorganic Cybertron. This is the only time he is self-absorbed. However, he is so committed to helping others that he can withdraw into a deep depression when he feels he has let them down. ("Sometimes, crazy works", he says.) He is eternally loyal to his friends and respectful to his enemies. He is committed to the Maximal codes of honor and moral judgment, but he does view them with some irreverence, and is not above finding loopholes or administering unorthodox solutions if necessary. Though he does have a penchant for stuffy speeches, Optimus Primal is much more down-to-Cybertron than his legendary namesake. The rest, they say, is (literally) history. Young and untested, Optimus Primal was a mere captain of an exploration ship when he and his crew were diverted off-course to pursue a stolen Predacon ship under the leadership of some crook named Megatron. Next one of you says "trukk not munky" gets it in the FACE. Optimus Primal is a Maximal from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
