Optimus Prime (TFP) (RUS)

Prime's height is approximately 9 meters. The body is made of cobalt superalloy, which makes it resistant to almost any impact and explosion. In addition, in robot mode, there are windows on his chest, behind which there is a chamber in which the Matrix of Leadership is stored. Optimus has a gray face, a blue helmet and three antennae on each side, two blue, the rest gray, highly detailed and made up of many plates and layers of parts stacked on top of each other. Optimus has two spherical antenna bases with dark blue coloring around them. He has a red chest with vehicle mode windows and a dark gray stripe on both ribs. He has large shoulders that overlap his arms. The two wheels at the rear are supported by its smoke pipes. It has 4 wheels at the back of its legs. After the upgrade, his appearance includes windows on his chest, a blue helmet, and a red color scheme throughout his body, except his legs are gray, as is his face and arms. His appearance also became bulkier and more muscular. Optimus' helmet had thicker antennas, his arms had prominent grilles, and the upgrade included a jetpack. He also became 1.5 meters taller, surpassing even Megatron in height.

on Cybertron - a truck; Upon arrival on Earth, he scanned a red and blue tractor that looked like a classic Freightliner Coronado model. Can attach a trailer to the rear blue section. Optimus can go into maximum overdrive, allowing him to move faster than a normal truck. With the update, it now has an alternate mode similar to that of the experimental All-Terrain Expeditionary Combat Vehicle designed and built by the US Army's top divisional engineers.

Powerful double-barreled (later single-barrel) Ion cannons, Energon blade, star sword, machine gun, Solus Prime Forge, Energon Minigun. He is the keeper of the Matrix of Leadership, which contains all the power and wisdom of the Primes, accumulated over millions of years.

In the early days of Cybertron, Orion Pax considered Megatronus his mentor. They were close and bosom friends, almost like brothers. Megatronus changed his name to Megatron before going with Orion to the High Council to present his ideas. When Orion gave a speech to the high council in defense of Megatron, he was chosen as the new Prime. Feeling betrayed and jealous of Orion, Megatron severed all ties with Orion and the council, declaring war on Cybertron. Orion eventually made it to Primus, the core of Cybertron, to repair the damage done by Megatron. He gave Orion the Matrix of Leadership, transforming him into Optimus Prime. Years later, Optimus fought Megatron again when he tried to stop Megatron from sending an army of undead from Cybertron to Earth. During the battle on the space bridge, Optimus was close to being killed by Megatron until Starscream contacted Megatron. Megatron said to Optimus, “Ah... wrong direction, Optimus. You would make a great Decepticon!" Optimus replied to Megatron: "I chose my side!", after which he blew up Megatron in the air. After the battle, Megatron was caught in the explosion of the space bridge, and Optimus decided that he was dead. Although Optimus mourned his ex friend, Megatron was later revived, taking over Bumblebee's body in a successful attempt to return to his own body, Optimus was surprised when Megatron stopped Starscream from blowing him up in Out of Mind. In One Shall Fall, Optimus came face to face with Megatron after Megatron injured Raph with a Dark Energon blast near a volcano. Optimus and Megatron fought each other brutally for quite some time until Optimus gained the upper hand when Megatron seemed to weaken. Optimus was able to knock Megatron to the ground and came close to killing him until Megatron suddenly regained his strength. The fight ended with Megatron gaining the upper hand and the Dark Energon flowing through him giving him strength and about to kill Optimus. But Bulkhead, Arcee and Ratchet arrived in time and saved Optimus. After learning that Unicron was the core of the Earth, Optimus decided to confront Unicron's manifestations alone, but was soon supported by other Autobots. When a large manifestation of Unicron was about to attack Optimus, Megatron destroyed it and thus saved Optimus. Optimus eventually agreed to team up with Megatron to stop Unicron from destroying Earth. As the Autobots and Megatron headed towards Unicron's spark chamber, Optimus and Megatron worked together to destroy several of Unicron's anit-bodies. Unicron even tried to control Megatron, but Megatron only saved Optimus from an attack by one of the antibodies. Optimus and Megatron made their way inside Unicron's spark chamber. However, this ended with Unicron in complete control of Megatron and Optimus losing the Matrix's energy along with his memories to destroy Unicron's Spark. Megatron woke up from his unconscious state and, drawing his sword, walked towards Optimus. However, when Optimus saw Megatron, he asked, where are we, Megatronus? Megatron was surprised and realized that Optimus had lost his memory. Taking advantage of this, he helped Optimus to his feet and led Optimus back to the warship, where Megatron addressed the rest of the Decepticons that Orion Pax was one of them. While Prime's team devised a plan to rescue Optimus and restore his memory, Megatron tricked Orion into believing that he was a Decepticon and that the Autobots were their enemies. Megatron explained that the Decepticons were named for spreading the truth, and if they spoke of deception, they would gladly admit their guilt. Megatron gave Orion his own space to work on Iacon's database in search of secret relics, which Orion explained were hidden for later use. When Orion told Megatron about Starscream, Megatron lied, saying that Starscream had died. After the incident where Starscream actually snuck onto the warship, he went into Orion's room where he told him about Megatron. Orion did not believe Starscream's words and started a conversation until a pair of Vehicons chased Starscream off the ship. Megatron went to visit Orion and explained to him that Starscream was a traitor who had sided with the Autobots. Megatron leaves Orion to do his own thing, and Orion does what his master wants. When Orion studied Optimus Prime, he came to the conclusion that he was Optimus Prime. When Megatron came to check on Orion again, he told Orion that they were tracking his activities as he pressed a button that showed Orion's research on Optimus Prime. Orion began questioning Megatron and eventually tried to delete his work, but unfortunately for Orion, the data was saved. Megatron then ordered the guards to keep an eye on Orion and threatened to kill him if he did not comply. Orion was beaten by the guards and eventually blasted to death when he accidentally turned his hands into weapons. Orion soon realized that his place was among the Autobots, and he tried to fight Megatron himself. Orion was defeated by Megatron and was close to death until Arcee attacked Megatron and saved him. Once Jack restored Orion's memories, Optimus grabbed onto Megatron's sword as he approached and lunged at Optimus. Optimus struck Megatron and defeated him, after which he escaped with his team to the base. After hunting for Iacon's relics, Smokescreen's arrival, Optimus obtaining the Star Saber, and learning the Omega Keys, Optimus fought Megatron with the Star Saber, and during their fight, Optimus again stated that he was just a common soldier. Optimus eventually obtained all four Omega Keys. However, Megatron used the Autobots' human friends in exchange for the Omega Keys. Optimus had no choice but to destroy the Omega Key, since Megatron used it to cyberform the Earth. When Megatron ordered the destruction of their former base. Optimus stood back while everyone left and was caught in the explosion. However, some time after Optimus was rescued by Smokescreen, Smokescreen was able to obtain Solus Prime's Forge and used it to give Optimus a new body. Optimus flew to Darkmount in his new jetpack and saved Ultra Magnus from Megatron. A dogfight ensued between the two, which ended with Optimus driving Megatron into the fusion cannon's power core, repeating his old line "Megatron! Go away!" In the final episode of Season 3, Optimus fought Megatron to stop him from cyberforming the Earth again. Megatron was able to kill Bumblebee, which enraged Optimus and he began to furiously attack Megatron. Megatron was able to gain the upper hand and was close to destroy Optimus as well, but was wounded by the revived Bumblebee's Star Saber before he could take the chance. As Megatron's lifeless body fell from the platform towards Earth, Optimus showed no signs of remorse as he watched Megatron fall. In Rise of the Predators, Unicron revived Megatron's body as his ship. When Optimus returned from searching for the Spark, he battled Unicron. During the battle, Optimus tried to remind Megatron of their old alliance, which saved Earth from Unicron's wrath. Despite Optimus' attempts to contact Megatron, Unicron stated that although Megatron could hear Optimus, he could not help him as he was being tortured by Unicron. After Unicron's Anti-Spark was sucked into the container holding him, Megatron was freed from torture. Optimus said nothing as Megatron announced his return to the Decepticon ranks and Starscream attempted to convince his master to reclaim command of the Decepticons. Optimus was very surprised when Megatron explained that he had finally understood the true meaning of oppression and had lost his taste for inflicting it on others. Optimus then watched thoughtfully as Megatron disbanded the Decepticons and flew off to his supposed exile. Before becoming one with Primus, Optimus noted to the Autobots (including Knockout) that Megatron was still capable of change. Megatron is like a long-lost brother to Optimus.

Bumblebee is one of Optimus Prime's scouts. He is also one of Optimus' close friends. In the film "Masters and Apprentices", Bumblebee, along with Optimus, investigated the activities of the Decepticons. After defeating Skyquake, Optimus praised Bumblebee for his excellent job. When Optimus suffered amnesia (after sacrificing the Matrix of Leadership's energy to destroy Unicron's Spark), he transformed into Orion Pax, who looked back at Bumblebee. Bumblebee was upset that his leader didn't recognize him as Orion simply looked back before leaving through the portal. Bumblebee helped the Autobots restore Optimus' memories, and this mission was successful: they were able to return Optimus to normal life and retake the base. When M.E.H. Stole Bumblebee's T-Kog, Optimus connected this with the fact that Bumblebee had lost a part of himself. Unable to transform, Bumblebee convinced Bulkhead to take him on the mission, although Bulkhead stated that if Optimus found out, it wouldn't be his idea. This ended with Bumblebee chasing Knockout and falling off a cliff. Back at base, Optimus restrained Bumblebee until they could retrieve his missing biomech. Bumblebee discovers the location of M.E.H., which was given to him by Agent Fowler. However, his T-cog was shot down by Starscream, who formed a temporary alliance with M.E.H. Ratchet was able to repair Bumblebee's T-Cog, but stated that the damage was severe. When Bumblebee transformed and took Raph along for the ride, Arcee praised Ratchet for fixing Bumblebee's T-Cog, with Optimus also stating that that wasn't all Ratchet fixed. In "Crossfire", when a weakened Megatron asked Optimus if he planned to destroy him later or right then, Bumblebee looked at Bulkhead in shock, after which Optimus pointed his gun at Megatron. When Bumblebee tried to give Optimus the Star Saber in the final battle for Earth, Megatron detonated it, leaving Bumblebee's body adrift in Omega-locka's cybermatter. Enraged by the death of his scout, Optimus beat Megatron until he was able to draw the Dark Star Saber and throw Optimus off the castle platform. Just as Megatron was about to finish off Optimus, Bumblebee restored cybermatter and used the Star Saber directly at Megatron's spark, causing his lifeless body to fall from the Omega Locator down to Earth. Bumblebee helped Optimus up while the rest of the Decepticons ran for their lives. After the Autobots used the Omega-Lock energy at Cybertron's core, they returned to base, where Optimus gave a speech about how they would miss Earth. Ratchet decided to stay with the children as a consultant. Bumblebee says goodbye to his partner and friend Raph one last time, and then heads home with the others. In Rise of the Predators, Optimus promoted Bumblebee to warrior after he killed Megatron. Optimus "knighted" Bumblebee by patting him on the shoulders with the Star Saber. Before the party began, Optimus told his team that he must retrieve All the Spark from space if they hoped to fully restore Cybertron. Bumblebee insists that they go and get him back, but Optimus says that they cannot leave Cybertron with the fugitives Starscream and Shockwave, as well as Predaking, remaining on it. Optimus flew off with Wheeljack, and Bumblebee replaced Optimus as leader. During the search for Predaking, Bumblebee said that he was just scouting, not leading. When they met Predaking, they told him about two new Predacons on Cybertron. Optimus arrived in time and defeated Unicron. He trapped Unicron inside the AllSpark container. Before becoming one with Primus, Optimus told his team, including Knockout, that they acted like Prime. Bumblebee promised to keep the world in memory of Optimus. While sadly watching their leader fly into the Core, the team was amazed by the Sparks flying out of it, including Optimus' Spark. Optimus and Bumblebee continued their relationship in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, where Optimus brought Bumblebee back to Earth to face a new threat. Like Alpha Trion, Optimus mentored Bumblebee on his path. Optimus has become a father figure to Bumblebee and fights alongside his scout.

Optimus knew Ratchet long before the War for Cybertron, and the two became very close friends. Ratchet was at Optimus's side after he and Megatron severed all ties, starting the War for Cybertron. During the war, Optimus often sought comfort from his old friend, both on Cybertron and on Earth. Although their ideals often differed, Optimus always had a high opinion of his chief medic. Optimus was often very protective of his old friend, advising him to leave and save himself when tensions arose on the battlefield. In turn, Ratchet often refused to leave his commander. Ratchet became like a brother to Optimus. When Optimus lost his memory by sacrificing the energy of the Matrix of Leadership to destroy Unicron's spark, Ratchet worked with the Autobots and humans to bring Optimus back. Their plan worked and Ratchet informed Optimus that it seemed like this was their darkest hour, but through it all, Optimus was a true Autobot inside and out. When Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock on Cybertron, Ratchet was shocked when Optimus told him that this was the only way to restore their home. As the rest of the team left via the ground bridge to different locations to avoid capture by the Decepticons, Ratchet and Optimus shared what seemed like a final moment when Ratchet asked Optimus about where he would be going. Optimus decided to stay at the base and before Ratchet left, he said that he never thought that everything would end like this. After Ratchet left, Optimus told himself that he didn't expect this either. Ratchet seemed to have lost all faith that Optimus would not reunite with the Autobots even if Ultra Magnus became their temporary leader. However, thanks to Smokescreen, who rescued and restored Optimus in a new body with the help of Solus Prime's Forge, the Autobots were victorious, destroying the Decepticon stronghold on Earth, and everyone celebrated returning to their new base. Ratchet showed Optimus his latest work on synthetic energon research, and Optimus decided it was a wise decision. In the episode "Predacons Rising", Ratchet tells Optimus that he is the one Ratchet cares about the most, until Optimus became one with Primus. As sparks flew from the core, the Autobots were amazed to see a red spark (possibly Optimus's) fly out of it. Ratchet is Optimus's best friend, and Ratchet cares deeply for Optimus.

Arcee is one of the most reliable soldiers on Optimus' team. She is one of his close friends, next to Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Ratchet. In Scraphip, Optimus and Arcee went on an exploration to learn more about their Arctic find. When they were ready to return to base, Optimus was unable to contact Ratchet for a ground bridge. Since their body temperature was in the danger zone, Optimus suggested they seek shelter. Optimus and Arcee tried to keep themselves going by talking. Arcee suggested they play a game called "who messed up the base the most." Optimus tried to remain positive, pointing out that the problem could have been a simple malfunction, and Arcee stated that Bulkhead could be the cause. Optimus noted that Bulkhead's size was no match for his inner strength, and that "you can't judge a person by their size alone." As Optimus and Arcee prepare to accept their end, Optimus talks to Arcee about joining the Allspark together. His speech is interrupted when Arcee reaches out with his left hand to take Optimus's left hand and Optimus does the same and they hold each other's hands as they prepare to freeze to death. Arcee's devotion to Optimus is strong and unquestionable. When Optimus suffered amnesia (after sacrificing energy from the Matrix of Leadership to destroy Unicron's Spark) and was taken to a Decepticon warship with Megatron, Arcee was able to board the ship. While trying to find Optimus, she completely destroyed several vehicles in her path. Before she could reach Optimus, she was thrown off the Nemesis by Soundwave. However, after Jack traveled to Cybertron with her to restore Optimus' memories, Optimus returned to himself after Jack uploaded his memories into the Matrix of Leadership, and Arcee was glad that her leader returned as the Autobots retreated to their base. . When Nemesis Prime attacked Agent Fowler and knocked Arcee unconscious in vehicle mode, Arcee began to become suspicious when it appeared that Optimus was responsible for the incident. However, when Optimus revealed that he had returned from exploring the energon mine with an energon crystal in his hand, the Autobots froze, and Arcee approached Optimus to apologize to him. At the end of Predacons Rising, Arcee suggested that the Autobots turn to Vector Sigma again when Optimus was about to sacrifice himself to restore Cybertron, but it would not have worked as the Matrix would have disappeared forever after merging with the AllSpark. Arcee and the others watched with sadness as Optimus sacrificed himself to enter the Well of All Sparks, but they all cheered when sparks began to fly from the Well. Arcee and Optimus shared a platonic friendship. They often spend time together and sometimes talk to each other. Arcee calls Optimus by name and sometimes refers to him as Prime. She sometimes consults Optimus, and Optimus is one of Arcee's friends who tries to calm her down. Optimus understands Arcee's feelings and tries to do everything he can to make her feel better. Arcee considers Optimus to be a noble leader and a friend to have. Arcee helped Wheeljack and Optimus helped Ultra Magnus when they felt inferior as a team. This shows that both Optimus and Arcee know how to support their comrades. In Sick Mind, Arcee told Ratchet that she would risk her life for Optimus anytime, anywhere, indicating that she would not hesitate to do anything to make Optimus feel good. In "Minus One", when Ultra Magnus went with Wheeljack and Bumblebee, Arcee secretly watched Optimus. This shows that Arcee cares most about Optimus' well-being. Arcee also knows Prime's rules: she notes that Optimus doesn't like to party and never runs away from a fight. Arcee perceives Optimus as an older adult, because she looks much younger than him. Arcee and Optimus respect each other as soldiers, friends and family.

Ultra Magnus was Optimus' top lieutenant during the War for Cybertron. With Optimus severely damaged, Ultra Magnus arrived on Earth, where he reassembled the Autobots, minus Optimus and Smokescreen. When the plan to attack Darkmount was developed, Ultra Magnus and the remaining Autobots were captured and sentenced to execution. Luckily, Smokescreen revived Optimus with the help of the Forge. Optimus was revived in a new body and flew to Darkmount, where he managed to save Ultra Magnus along with the other Autobots. Optimus and Ultra Magnus greeted each other respectfully, but the former was surprised to see him on Earth. Optimus addressed him as commander and Ultra Magnus as "Sir", who commented on his new appearance, calling it "Robust", and they managed to escape after Darkmount's destruction. When the team met again in E Squad, Ultra Magnus honorably handed over his command to Optimus, who gladly accepted him into Prime's team. When Ultra Magnus asked Optimus what a "kilt" was, Optimus replied that Agent Fowler was quite secretive and personally told Ultra Magnus that he should just nod and mobilize. When Ultra Magnus tried to impose discipline on Team Prime, the team did not like it. When Optimus returned to base, the team turned their attention to him, leaving Magnus alone in the corner. Optimus noticed that his commander was alone and later asked what was bothering him. Ultra Magnus noticed that his command style was having a negative impact on the team. Optimus placed his left hand on Magnus' right shoulder and told Ultra Magnus that the Elite Guard's methods would not work against Prime's team. Optimus saved Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack from execution by the Predator. Optimus explained the concept of "family" to Ultra Magnus. Since then, Ultra Magnus has adapted to the family ways of Team Prime. In Rise of the Predators, Ultra Magnus was present when Optimus sacrificed himself to restore Cybertron. Magnus watched with sadness along with the other Autobots as Optimus flew into the core of Cybertron. Eventually Magnus and the rest of the team were hit by sparks that appeared from the well. Magnus is Optimus's friend/relative.

Bulkhead met Optimus on Cybertron during the war, where he left the Wreckers and joined Prime's team. Although they barely communicate, Optimus and Bulkhead have become good friends. Bulkhead was saddened that Optimus did not recognize him and the other Autobots when he lost his memories after sacrificing the Matrix of Leadership's energy to destroy Unicron's Spark. Bulkhead helped the team restore Optimus' memories and they were able to return Optimus to normal and returned to base to celebrate. In Loose Cannons, Bulkhead explained to Wheeljack why he joined Optimus because he believed Optimus was capable of ending the war. Bulkhead usually accompanied Optimus and his team in search of energon mines or other Decepticon activity. However, when Optimus withheld information about Lock Omega, he questioned why Optimus didn't tell his comrades about it. During the Battle of Cybertron for the Omega Keys, Bulkhead and his team discovered Lock Omega. However, this mission was compromised when the Decepticons used the children to trade for the Omega Keys. Optimus had no choice but to destroy the castle with the Star Saber, causing the team to split from their old base to regroup and plan an attack. This led to the emergence of Ultra Magnus and a strange dragon-like creature that the Decepticons used to hunt the Autobots. After not finding Optimus, Ultra Magnus informed the team that they must stop Megatron with or without Optimus. Ultra Magnus's attack on the Decepticon stronghold ended with the team being captured. Optimus soon arrived with his new jetpack and strong body, as a result of which everyone managed to escape from the destroyed citadel. In Predacons Rising, when Optimus sacrificed himself to restore life on Cybertron, Bulkhead and the other Autobots sadly watched as their leader flew into Cybertron's core. As sparks flew from the well, Bulkhead and the others were amazed by it. Bulkhead respects Optimus and treats him like part of the family.

Optimus was the only Autobot who trusted Smokescreen when he was first born. While others doubted his stories and believed him to be a Decepticon spy, the newcomer's stories about Alpha Trion convinced Optimus that he was a loyal ally. However, he believed that Smokescreen needed further training and should follow protocol more, but after defeating Starscream and receiving the Apex Armor, he officially included him in Prime's team. He later stated that Smokescreen needed to become even more comfortable with human culture and Earth. He once became impatient after Jack took him on a mission to retrieve the Star Saber, although he was glad that Smokescreen had found it. During the Battle of the Omega Keys on Cybertron, Smokescreen wanted to give his key to Optimus, but Optimus told him, "Optimus, such an honor does not belong to me." However, their mission became complicated when Megatron used their human friends to trade for the Omega Keys. As a result, Optimus destroys the Omega Key with the Star Saber and destroys the Autobot base. When the Autobot base was destroyed, Smokescreen managed to hide the wounded Prime and tried to restore him. These actions convinced Optimus that if anyone should succeed him, it should be Smokescreen, despite the young bot's objections. Smokescreen later healed Optimus using Solus Prime's Forge, giving him a new body. In Predacons Rising, Optimus, even before his sacrifice, gave him subtle signs that he still believed that Smokescreen was the best choice for the new Prime. Smokescreen and the other Autobots watched with sadness as their leader flew into the core of Cybertron. As sparks flew from the well, Smokescreen and the others were amazed by its beauty. Optimus trusted Smokescreen enough to tell him that he was worthy of the premiership and perhaps his old life. Smokescreen became another son for Optimus, just like Bumblebee.

Wheeljack met Optimus Prime during his first trip to Earth. When he returned to Earth with Dreadwing, Wheeljack began to go his own way until Optimus warned him to follow suit. Bulkhead told Wheeljack about old times and how he gave up being Destroyer, to which Wheeljack replied, "Because Prime was real." Bulkhead and Wheeljack came up with their old handshake code: “Emergency workers don’t call for backup. They are calling for cleaning!!!" They attacked Dreadwing, but Dreadwing had already set a trap, into which the Destroyers fell. Wheeljack ended up under the rubble, but Bulkhead was captured. Optimus comes to Wheeljack's aid, to his surprise. They went to Wheeljack's ship and decided to save their friend. The ship felt cramped to Optimus and he tried to start a conversation. Optimus said, "You and Bulkhead had a history together, but you prefer to work alone." In response, Wheeljack said that the Wreckers had long since dispersed and it was not difficult to remain alone. They found Bulkhead with a time bomb strapped to his chest. Wheeljack tried to disarm the device, and Optimus ran off to find Dreadwing. When Bulkhead noticed that Optimus was gone, Wheeljack corrected himself, saying that Optimus left first. But Bulkhead denied this and said that Optimus would never do such a thing. Eventually, after an argument, Wheeljack realized that Bulkhead was right about Optimus and that Dreadwing is the only one who can defuse the bomb. Dreadwing defused the bomb and blew up the dock. He ran away and left them. Returning to the base, Wheeljack apologized to Optimus and said that it was an honor to watch him work. Optimus reached out to accept Wheeljack into the team, but Jackie wanted to explore Earth more in his new vehicle mode. In "Evolution", Optimus saved Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus from death at the hands of the Predator. In "Rise of the Predators", Wheeljack was impressed and told Optimus "that's why he's a Prime" when he was able to extract the All Spark from a pile of space rocks. Along with the other Autobots, Wheeljack watched as Optimus gave his final farewell speech and as he sacrificed himself to enter Cybertron's core and completely rebuild it to bring life back to their home.

Optimus saved Arcee from Airachnid in "Partners". Optimus pointed his gun at Airachnid as he ran towards her to save Arcee. Airachnid pushed Arcee away and escaped before Optimus could blast her. Later, when Optimus was frozen by the immobilizer, Airachnid told him that he was the real prize and that she could use him as a way to gain Megatron's trust. Bumblebee hit Airachnid and the device broke. Unlike other series, Airachnid is not Elite One. Optimus did not state that Airachnid was Elite One, nor did he have a flashback about her. Airachnid is one of Optimus' enemies and she treats him as a worthy prize.

Optimus was outraged that Dreadwing destroyed Sea Spray when Wheeljack explained Sea Spray's fate to the Autobots. During the mission to free Bulkhead from Dreadwing, Optimus attempted to reason with Dreadwing, stating that Megatron's principles were not correct and told Dreadwing that there was another way if Dreadwing cooperated in deactivating the bomb on Bulkhead's chest that Dreadwing had planted. Eventually, after chasing and capturing Dreadwing by Optimus using a crane at the dock, Dreadwing deactivates the bomb on Bulkhead, but activates other bombs he had planted in the loading dock area before escaping. In "Crossfire", Dreadwing convinced Optimus to let Megatron go and let the Autobots live. Optimus made sure he had Dreadwing's word when Dreadwing put the weapon out of sight. In Triangulation, Optimus and Dreadwing encountered each other again in Antarctica while searching for a relic. Dreadwing decided that Optimus already had the relic, but Optimus revealed that he was going to ask Dreadwing the same question about the relic. After a lengthy fight, Optimus trapped Dreadwing under a pile of snow by shooting at the wall that held the snow. Dreadwing came to his senses and soon met with Optimus and Starscream. Optimus fought Dreadwing at the relic's storage site, while Starscream stayed behind to claim the relic for himself. Just as Dreadwing was about to strike Optimus, Starscream in Apex Armor intervened and proved to be a stronger opponent for both Optimus and Dreadwing. Eventually, Optimus formed a temporary alliance with Dreadwing to destroy Starscream, and it worked: Starscream managed to fall through the ice, and Dreadwing's explosions surrounded him in a circle. Optimus did not want to continue fighting Dreadwing and invited him to join the Autobots to avenge Skyquake. Dreadwing refused and promised to destroy Optimus the next time they met, after which he flew away. In Regeneration, Optimus and the Autobots contacted Dreadwing, who gave them the Forge of Solus Prime. While they were talking, Optimus put his blasters away, trying to offer Dreadwing another chance to join them. However, Dreadwing considered that accepting their kind was not the same as betraying his own, and flew away. Although Optimus may not have known that Dreadwing had died, Dreadwing considered Optimus a worthy opponent, despite blaming Optimus for his brother's death. Optimus even invited Dreadwing to join the Autobots and showed Dreadwing more respect than any Decepticon, as Optimus regretted his involvement in Skyquake's death. Dreadwing may have forgiven Optimus, and Optimus may have forgiven Dreadwing as well, since Dreadwing is perhaps the only Decepticon that Optimus has approached numerous times.

Soundwave is one of Optimus' enemies. Soundwave is cunning and does not hesitate to deal with Prime. Although Optimus is rarely seen fighting Soundwave face to face. In Project Predator, Optimus battled Soundwave in the sky until Laserbeak disabled Optimus' jetpack for a few moments. Soundwave managed to throw the Predator bone straight into Megatron's hand. At Minus One, Optimus was able to knock out Laserbeak and knock down Soundwave with ease. The Autobots returned Soundwave to their base, and Laserbeak retreated. During the interrogation, Optimus asked Soundwave about Megatron's plans. Soundwave didn't give any information, but he did annoy Optimus by loading a smile onto the screen and playing a remix of Optimus' voice. When Ratchet suggested they open Soundwave after he made a loud noise that hurt his ears, Soundwave told them, “Soundwave is taller. Autobots are inferior,” and then broke his disks.

Starscream is one of Optimus' enemies. Starscream has his own ways of pissing off Optimus. He is even ready to go to extreme measures just to get rid of Optimus. In Out of Mind, Starscream viciously taunted that Megatron's biggest mistake was leaving Optimus alive. Starscream also came close to shooting Optimus with his missile until Megatron flew in and saved Optimus. In Shadowzone, Optimus shot off Starscream's right arm, leaving him vulnerable. In "Partners", when Starscream wanted to become an Autobot, Optimus doubted whether to trust him. Optimus agreed with Arcee to make Starscream his ally. However, when Starscream beat Arcee, Optimus did not accept Starscream. In Orion Pax Part 2, Starscream was shocked to see Optimus on Nemesis. He was about to point his missiles at Optimus, but Optimus didn't recognize him. Starscream discovered that Optimus had fainted and did not know who he was. He was close to using this to his advantage until three Vehicons appeared and forced Starscream to flee the ship. In "Triangulation", when Starscream walked with Optimus through Antarctica, he did not believe that Optimus would take their union for granted, even after Starscream helped restore Optimus' memory in "Orion Pax Part 2" and saved Arcee's life in "Crossroads". fire." Optimus counters that Starscream did this for his own benefit. Starscream replies that no one can be as selfless as Optimus. In "Inside Job", Optimus became enraged when Starscream stole the Omega Keys from the Autobot base. In "Darkest Hour", Starscream became angry that Optimus destroyed the Rebellion. In "Synthesis", Optimus engages Starscream and several machines in the sky. Starscream managed to destroy Chip, which angered Optimus and he attacked Starscream, but he managed to escape to the warship via a ground bridge. Despite the fact that they are bitter enemies, Starscream considers Optimus a worthy opponent and is sometimes even willing to spare his life.

Optimus first learned about the Predator after the events of Project Predator. He eventually confronted Predaking in person, finding him willing to kill his warlord and demolition expert. He saved them from Predaking and escaped the wrath of the enraged clone. He eventually fought him again in the Arctic. With the Predator temporarily subdued, Optimus ordered him to stand up, with the Predator responding by declaring that he would never bow to him and knocking him out with a kick. After the events of the film, Predaking may have forgiven Optimus.

In some cases, Optimus and Knockout fought each other. In Speed ​​Metal, Optimus brutally breaks down part of Knockout's door to save Vince from Knockout. However, at the end of Predacons Rising, when Knockout became a member of the Autobots, he revealed that he considered Optimus to be his role model. He looked gloomy when he saw Optimus fly into the Well of All Sparks, but was amazed by the sparks that came out of him.

Orion Pax was a simple worker in the archives of the city of Iacon. His task was to listen to messages from the information network to classify them. The Cybertronian did his job without hesitation until he heard messages from Kaon's arena champion, Megatronus. The gladiator's statements made the young archivist think about the injustice of the class system and the corruption of the authorities. Orion began communicating with Megatronus, who became his friend and mentor. When they managed to gain an audience with the high council, Megatronus proposed his concept of a just society, but then unmasked himself, demanding a violent overthrow of the old order and wanting to become the next Prime. However, Pax did not agree with the use of violence to achieve order and justice, and his words resonated with the council members. Megatronus, disillusioned, decided to wage war against all who did not share his views, and swore an oath to obtain the matrix of leadership, wherever it was. Ultimately, Pax became Optimus Prime, receiving the matrix from Primus and sending an ancient Cybertronian artifact to a distant sector called Theta Scorpii to keep it from Megatron. During the war, Optimus Prime ambushed the Decepticons who were attacking an energy factory in Iacon. When faced with Megatron, Optimus decided not to destroy him after seeing his dedication to his fighters. This displeased some Autobots, and Optimus found himself before the tribunal. He then made the decision not to advance on the enemy positions due to lack of power for the ship. Optimus had to lead a rescue operation, during which he defeated Megatron and deprived him of the dark spark from Orion Pax worked in the archives of the city of Iacon and was engaged in the classification of messages received from the information network. One day he heard statements from the gladiator Megatronus, which made him think about the injustice of the class system and corruption. Orion began communicating with Megatronus and they became friends. When they approached the high council, Megatron proposed his concept of a just society, but then revealed his true intentions of violently overthrowing the old order. Orion disagreed with him and subsequently became Optimus Prime. Megatron, in order to gain the matrix of leadership, began a war against everyone who was against his ideas. Optimus set up an ambush for the Decepticons, and during the battle did not destroy Megatron, who later turned out to be his sworn enemy. When the Decepticons attacked the energy factory, Optimus was able to repel their attack thanks to the courage and strength of his warriors. As a result, Optimus decided to launch Operation Longshot, which ended with his victory over Megatron and the salvation of Cybertron.

As the war neared its end, Optimus assembled a small group of Autobots, Team Prime. When Cybertron became uninhabitable, he came to Earth with them and sent a coded message to all Autobots, inviting them to join him in the fight against the Decepticons. In response to this call, Arcee and Cliffjumper arrived on the planet.

After a long period of inactivity on the part of the Decepticons, Optimus and the rest of the team began to search for sources of energon, the fuel necessary to operate the Transformers. During one such expedition, Cliffjumper was attacked by Vehicons in large numbers. He engaged them without reinforcements, but was defeated and captured on their warship Nemesis, where he died at the hands of Starscream. Optimus, learning of the danger Cliffjumper was in, called the rest of the team and ordered them to urgently go to the rescue. But by the time they arrived at the battle site, it was already too late: Cliffjumper's life signal had disappeared. After Optimus gathered his surviving comrades, he warned them to be careful so that no one would suffer the fate of their fallen comrade, and returned to base.

When Arcee and Bumblebee met Jack, Raf and Miko in Jasper, Prime decided that the children should be brought to the base and protected. He later shared with them his experience of fighting on Cybertron with Megatron, who then became his enemy.

Having also learned about the appearance of a signal from Cliffjumper, Prime led a squad that headed into the Decepticon mine to clarify the situation and save his comrade. He fought, but was forced to retreat when Starscream dropped the energon bomb. Optimus saved Ratchet from a machine brought to life by dark energon. After returning to base, Optimus and Ratchet decided to explore the ancient Transformers cemetery on Earth in search of dark energy. During a battle with the revived Terrorcons, Optimus almost defeated Megatron, but failed. After returning to base for repairs, Optimus learned of Agent Fowler's kidnapping by the Decepticons and warned the children to be careful.

While relaxing in the Valley of Fire, Optimus shared with the children the story of Megatron's bravery on Cybertron, whom he spared. Prime regretted his decision, but promised that next time his hand would not waver.

On the eve of the upcoming Christmas, an irritated Agent Fowler came to the Autobot base with information about Megatron and Starscream's attack on the Russian icebreaker Yamal. Optimus ordered him to stay and promised that the Autobots would deal with the intruders. Together with Bumblebee and Ratchet, he moved to the icebreaker, where the fight began. Having learned that Megatron had mined the ship, Prime realized that without Starscream's spear he would not be able to surrender it to his enemies. Bumblebee handed the spear to the leader, who managed to repel Megatron's attack and send him into the sea. After the ship was brought to a safe place, Optimus and his comrades returned to base. When an earth bridge suddenly appeared at the Autobot base, Optimus quickly arrived on the scene. The battle began, but there were too many enemies. Prime competently managed the battle, protecting his comrades. Raf was able to reprogram the bridge, and Optimus made sure everyone remained alive. After the gas explosions at the Jasper schools, Optimus agreed with Jack that there was something fishy about the incident. He suggested that the Decepticons were behind the attacks and recommended not to risk it. Later, upon learning that the enemy attack had affected all the schools in the area, Prime suggested not to rush into an adventure with Silas. Having received the "black box" from the presidential plane, Optimus realized that Starscream was the thief. Following the recording, the Autobots came to a large canyon where a fight broke out. Optimus, with the hope that his plan would be successful, destroyed the enemy's base. In search of energon, Optimus ended up at a scrap metal recycling plant, where he was exposed to a neural refractor. Prime's consciousness moved into a human body, and he found himself in a difficult situation. Through joint efforts with the man, they decided to escape, and Optimus was back in his place.

While searching for Miko Nakadai, who was kidnapped by Agent M.E.H. named Novo, Optimus Prime arrived on the scene along with Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead. There he noticed that the girl was next to an unfamiliar robot. Miko told him that the robot was Novo, who was exposed to a neural refractor, and that he saved her from Silas and his men. Optimus offered to help Novo, but he categorically refused and threatened to blow up the refractor. Having made a decision, Optimus called the earth bridge and the Autobots, along with Miko, returned to base. The Energon reception was interrupted by the sudden appearance of terrorists who attacked a high-tech oil production platform. Optimus Prime gathered his team and went to the rescue without hesitation. Meeting with hostile fighters in armored exosuits turned out to be a real test for him. Attempts to convince General Madison of the mistake were in vain when he ordered fire without warning. Optimus asked Ratchet, having contacted the base, to come up with something to avoid unnecessary casualties, since he guessed that the attackers also considered their opponents to be human. Then, on Jack's advice, Optimus announced to Madison that he was surrendering, and as the general approached, he opened his chest module to reassure him that no one was inside. Thus, the incident was resolved. When the signal from Bulkhead, who was on a mission in Alaska, disappeared from the monitor, Optimus Prime tried to calm Ratchet, assuring him that there was no reason to be alarmed. After some time, Miko managed to establish contact with Bulkhead via a mobile phone, and the medic’s fears were justified: it turned out that the giant was being held captive and his life was in danger. Having received this information, the Autobots urgently assembled a group of rescuers and asked Ratchet to teleport them to the Decepticon ship across the earth bridge. Contrary to habit, Optimus decided to take Jack, Miko and Raf with him, since Nemesis's security system was unable to detect them. Soon the guys discovered and freed Bulkhead, and Optimus, following them, destroyed two Vehicons along the way. As the rescuers left Nemesis through a hole in the ship, Prime expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in the mission after returning to base. Optimus, accompanied by Bulkhead and Arcee, went to negotiate with Knockout and Breakdown, who had captured the audience and the TV show host. Realizing that he risked falling into a trap, the Autobot leader left Arcee outside and entered the building with Bulkhead. Optimus hoped for a stealthy infiltration, but Knockout was already prepared for their arrival. The Autobots were forced to overcome an obstacle course to save the container with the people trapped in it, the Decepticon threatened. Accepting his terms, Prime and Bulkhead helped each other and made it across the pool. After this, they found themselves in front of a fake fortress, where they were attacked by Vehicons dressed as mummies and a monument. Wasting no time, Optimus asked Bulkhead to defend the position while he broke into the fortress. Soon he reached the container with the prisoners and freed them. When the great battle came to an end, Optimus Prime felt joy not only from the victory of justice and the rescue of the hostages, but also from the fact that the truth remained hidden from people. After a clash with the Vehicons, the commander contacted duty officer Raf and asked him to open an earthly portal for the Autobots to return. However, due to an unexpected malfunction, the bridge carried crew members across the world. Optimus found himself in the dense Amazon jungle, where he suddenly came across a Vehicon stuck in a swamp. The soldier, who found himself in a helpless position, was saved by an Autobot, who broke a branch and helped him get to land. At this time, Prime became the victim of a surprise attack from Airachnis, who tried to tie him with a web to a tree. But the Vehicon intervened and pushed the Spider away, causing her rage. Airachnis attacked the soldier who stopped her, but then Optimus tore the web and threw the Decepticon into the swamp with one powerful blow. After Prime heard Starscream's announcement on television, he immediately realized that the invading Decepticons were trying to cause panic among the planet's inhabitants. He immediately ordered Ratchet to open the Earthbridge portal to transfer his team to the global communications satellite Comsat-1. After instantly teleporting to the satellite, Prime and his team engaged in a battle with the Vehicons guarding Soundwave, who controlled the signal relay. Finally, they found themselves at the base, where they were joyfully greeted by the entire team, and only then did Prime realize that he was faced with a new stage in the fight against the Decepticons. Optimus' entire team gathered at headquarters to hear the bad news: the discovered energon deposit in Kansas is already being used by someone else. To investigate on the spot, Prime and the Autobots immediately went to Kansas across the earth bridge. There they discovered that Knockout, with the help of Vehicons and Breakdown, had built a portal for time travel. Seeing the Decepticons, Optimus gave the team the order to attack, and Bumblebee tried to disable the device. However, he was too late; the Decepticon scientist had already launched the portal. Optimus Prime went to an abandoned nuclear power plant after receiving a message about Megatron. Upon arrival, everyone present, including the Decepticons and Autobots, found themselves in a strange place, which Prime identified as a parallel dimension. Ratchet, who remained at the base, thanks to the help of Raph, was able to start a reverse cycle, as a result of which Optimus and his comrades returned to the real world. After this, Optimus expressed his gratitude to Ratchet and another genius for their help, without which they could have been stuck in another dimension. Arriving at the power plant, Prime immediately noticed that the energy indicators were high, despite the first impression of abandonment. Upon entering, he discovered a space bridge portal powered by the energy of an atomic reactor. There was no one in the room, and suddenly a powerful blow knocked Optimus off his feet. Megatron attacked the Autobot leader and a fierce fight ensued. In the end, Prime prevailed and killed the leader of the Decepticons. Optimus was surprised: he did not expect the victory to be so easy. Several Megatrons emerged from the space bridge, and Optimus Prime gave them a good showdown, but he himself suffered in the process. He needed medical attention, but he couldn't leave without figuring out what was going on. Inside the portal, he saw the real Megatron and realized that the faulty space bridge was creating Decepticon clones. Then he decided to deceive the false Megatron, pretending to mistake him for the real one, in order to find out which of them was an impostor seeking to take his place. After Optimus Prime offered Megatron cooperation, the clone agreed and together they cut the cable that powered the bridge. This allowed the real Megatron to free himself and engage in battle with his double, who was eager to destroy the "real" one. During the robot fight, Optimus Prime returned to the Autobot base, happy that his plan had worked.

One fine day, in Autobot territory, a distress signal was received from a spaceship that crashed. Optimus Prime and Ratchet immediately went to the scene. Prime looked inside the ship through the hole to make sure that no one was alive after the disaster. Suddenly, a disgusting creature jumped out of the hole and attacked him. Ratchet delivered the injured Prime to the base without noticing the parasite. Prime was on Cybertron at this time, where he congratulated the Autobots on the end of the long war with the Decepticons. He was joyful, but was unaware of the parasite in his brain. Suddenly everything disappeared and he found himself in Ratchet's repair shop. He was shocked to see the parasite on Ratchet's head. Miko explained that the doctor saved Prime, and now they need to save him. Prime was afraid to perform an operation without medical knowledge. However, the parasite burst and Ratchet was saved. Prime was glad that his friend was okay. When Bulkhead told Prime about an unusual artifact seen on a television show, the Autobot commander realized that it was a dangerous device. He forbade Miko to look closer at him, but the girl did not listen. She went with her friends to the site of their discovery, which led to a confrontation with M.E.H. and other agents. After the adventure, Prime reminded Miko of his warning. Prime was concerned about Wheeljack's disappearance and sent other Autobots to search for him. They later returned with Wheeljack and talked about the release of the destroyer. Optimus acknowledged that humans and Autobots had once again proven their unity. Megatron used the Matrix of Leadership to trick Prime into working for the Decepticons. He convinced Orion Pax to search for artifacts on earth. After returning his memory, Optimus began to look for the relics in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Decepticons.

Traveling to Antarctica to retrieve a new artifact, Optimus Prime encountered the Vehicons and Dreadwing, who were escorting the captured Starscream. Prime entered into battle with the Decepticons: first he destroyed the Vehicons, and then, by shooting at an ice block, he was able to cause an avalanche on Dreadwing. Together with the captured Starscream, he headed to the Antarctic base that belonged to people. After calling Agent Fowler, the Autobot leader organized the evacuation of personnel, after which the complex was empty. While searching for the artifact, Dreadwing attacked Optimus, but Starscream found the super armor, took it out and attacked both transformers. To defeat the enemy, they detonated mines on the ice, forcing Dreadwing to leave and persuaded him not to continue the fight, since the super armor was already lost. The Decepticon left, and the Autobot leader returned to base. Optimus Prime and his comrades were discussing the situation with Starscream at the base when a message arrived from Dreadwing, wanting a meeting. Arriving at the scene, the Autobots prepared for battle, but the Decepticon turned up not for battle, but to hand over Solus Prime's hammer. He explained that he no longer wanted to deal with the Decepticons due to their betrayal. Having irretrievably lost hope of restoring Cybertron, he gave Optimus the four Omega Keys held by the Lord. Optimus invited the Decepticon to join the Autobots, but he refused and flew away. Using the hammer, Optimus turned the earth's bridge into a space bridge, and then, together with the team, went to Cybertron. There, the Autobots managed to defeat Megatron's army and return the Omega Keys. The Decepticons captured the people and demanded their surrender, but Optimus and his team agreed to an exchange, giving up the keys in exchange for their friends. The Decepticons' attempt to transform Earth using cyberformation was thwarted by Optimus, who destroyed the device. The Autobot leader went to Earth and repelled the Decepticons, after which he returned to base. Arriving at the base, the Autobots discovered that Megatron had completed the first stage of his cyberformation and began to fire at their hideout. Leaving the base, the Autobots teleported to different places on the planet to confuse the Decepticons. Optimus, the last one left, destroyed the bridge control panel and was destroyed by the Decepticons. After some time, Optimus was pulled out from under the rubble, and he learned about what had happened.

When Decepticon activity subsided, Optimus, who was conducting research, returned to base. He expressed suspicions that they might have prepared all the necessary ingredients to clone an entire squad of Predacons for the rest of the team. Seeing that Ultra Magnus was worried about something, Prime began a conversation with him. He shared concerns with the Autobot leader about his management style, believing it was negatively affecting the group's mission definition. Optimus noted that during their stay on Earth, all members of the team had grown together so much that they ceased to be just an army. The discussion was interrupted by Ratchet, who informed that the base's scanners had detected energon. Given the critically low energy reserves, the team set out in full force to capture it. Having defeated a Vehicon squad that was transporting energon, the Autobots captured it and returned it to base. Smokescreen and the Destroyers headed into the cave to check if there was any more fuel. They soon returned with Bulkhead, but Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus were not with them. In addition, an explosion was heard from the mine, forcing Optimus to go in search of his missing comrades. He managed to find them in time: Predaking, who defeated Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus, intended to destroy the Autobots. But Prime managed to prevent this: he fired at the beast with his machine gun, after which he gathered his subordinates and retired with them to the base. There, Ratchet set about repairing Magnus's damaged arm. The latter, continuing the conversation with Smokesrin, asked the Autobot leader why the army was not the same. Prime replied that this is a family.

After Decepticon activity had subsided, Optimus returned to base and expressed his suspicions that they had collected the necessary components to clone the Predacon Legion. When discussing his command style with Ultra Magnus, he noted that the team members had become like family. The team soon went to retrieve the energon, defeating the Vehicons and returning it to base. Optimus and his comrades went in search of Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus, who were attacked by Predaking. He managed to prevent the attack and return to base, where Ratchet began repairing Magnus. Optimus argued that the team is a family. Megatron wanted to reconstruct Omega Castle to revive his home planet and cyberform Earth. To do this, he ordered the Decepticons to collect components from Cybertron, use cybermatter and steal technology from people. Ultimately, the Decepticons were able to steal the particle accelerator, but were attacked by the Autobots. Predaking attacked the Autobots during their mission in Antarctica. Optimus fought him while the others continued the mission. As a result, Predaking was able to strike at Optimus, but Megatron intervened and prevented the attack. Eventually, Predaking gave in and helped Shockwave steal the particle accelerator. The Autobots falsified the hangar's number to avoid its destruction. This helped them avoid Starscream's attack on the other hangar.

Optimus approached the destroyed ship, where he was met by Arcee and Bulkhead, who helped Wheeljack escape from the wreckage. Wheeljack asked Prime about saving Spark, and he answered in the affirmative. Holding the Ark, Optimus continued to fly, but Unicron struck him, damaging his jetpack. Unicron then took the reliquary from Optimus, but did not find the Spark inside. Trapped, Unicron was expelled from Megatron's body by the Ark. Optimus noted that the Primes' artifact had weakened Unicron's dark essence. Smokescreen wanted to ask a question about the whereabouts of the Spark, but they were interrupted by Starscream, who happily discovered that his master had returned. Seeker supported Megatron, saying that the Decepticons would rise again and be able to take over Cybertron. However, Megatron abandoned the war, realizing the true nature of tyranny, and flew away in alt form. To defeat Unicron, Optimus had to release the great Spark so that it would capture the spirit of chaos. The spark was placed in the Matrix of Leadership and connected to it, it was necessary to sacrifice the Matrix to the core of the planet. Optimus decided on self-sacrifice, convincing the Autobots of the necessity of this decision. In his last speech, he urged them not to mourn his death, but to continue to fight for peace. Bumblebee promised to follow his instructions. Optimus smiled sadly and disappeared into the core, opening his chest. New Sparks burst from the core, giving birth to new lives, among them was a Spark with a blue-red aura, foreshadowing Optimus's eventual return to life.

As Optimus Prime, he is a very stern and serious leader, not tolerating jokes and, as described by Bulkhead, never crying or losing his cool. But when Optimus loses his cool, it's because of the Decepticons who annoy him the most. This was shown when Starscream stole three Omega Keys from the Autobot base, causing Optimus to fly into the sky as Starscream escaped with the keys. Optimus is shown to not like parties either, but he does attend small ceremonies. At the same time, Optimus has all the qualities of a good leader. He is an excellent tactician, knows how to prioritize, and cares about his subordinates. Prime may be harsh, but he is never cruel; he is merciful and ready to give even a Decepticon a chance to live; he will never raise a weapon against a defenseless person. War is a heavy duty for him; If there is even the slightest chance to resolve the problem peacefully, Optimus definitely tries to take advantage of it. Can be a very caring bot, making sacrifices to ensure the safety of the team and their human allies; even he is willing to sacrifice himself to save them, Earth and Cybertron. Optimus also has a strong sense of honor and loyalty. However, Optimus was shown to be willing enough to abandon his code of honor and resort to Decepticon tactics to stop Megatron. The tasks of protecting people and stopping the Decepticons at the same time should have brought him to his knees, but he did not give up. Optimus would even risk his spark to lure the Decepticons to the Autobot side, including Dreadwing and Breakdown.
