Magnimus Prime (T:BP)

Magnimus Prime feels he was a soldier and nothing more. He very much prefered taking orders to giving them, and even avoided opportunities for higher responsibility. However, when he was forced into those opportunities, he displayed that he was not only a good soldier, but a competent leader as well. He was strong, resolute, dependable, selfless, and courageous. Sadly, Magnimus is the only Autobot who doesn't realize this.
Believing he was nothing but a soldier, Magnimus was perfectly willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good if need be. He knew he was more powerful than the average Autobot, and would throw himself at larger threats accordingly. He is respected by both the Autobots and Decepticons, due to his courage and self-sacrifice. There is a special enmity between him and Galvatron for this reason, for Galvatron may be the most deadly foe of all. (Also, Galvatron, given his mental state, probably doesn't approve of people he's had blown up getting back up afterward. This can be seen as a sore point for Magnimus, too.)
He is sometimes Optimus Prime's brother, depending on continuities.
==Appearances==
In Lies of War Part 1 Magnimus gets a call from Bee asking for reinforcements. When Wheeljack and Bulkhead walk in and he commands them to back Bee up. Bee once again calls him, asking if the reinforcements are on their way, and Magnimus says they are. Soon after, Wheeljack calls for a ground bridge to base and he opens it, and him and Bulkhead come in dragging Bee and Smokescreen, followed be Arcee and Knock Out. Magnimus makes a ground bridge to Earth calling for Ratchet. Once Ratchet is done with Bee and Smokescreen, Magnimus opens a ground bridge back to Earth, but the Decepticons and Predacons attack. When the Decepticons try to jump into the open ground bridge, Magnimus closes it and the Predacons retreat, followed by the Decepticons.
