Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime is the noble leader of the faction known as the Autobots. Once, a simple librarian named Orion Pax, he was granted the Matrix of Leadership by the council, and was named the new prime. He now leads the Autobots into battle against the ruthless Decepticons, led by his 'Brother', Megatron.
== Information ==
=== Role ===
Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots and their most competent fighter, capable of throwing down hordes of Decepticons and being the only one to rival Megatron directly.
=== Powers and Abilities ===
Optimus Prime is arguably the second strongest (normal cybertronian) character in the series, only behind Megatron in raw strength. He can throw hands with Shockwave, make Soundwave look like a child, and take Starscream out of the equation.
His two trusty weapons are his ion blaster, his main choice gun weapon, and his Energon Axe. Both of these are strong weapons of choice for him. He also possesses the ability to unleash some of the Matrix's life-force as an attack, mainly used if he is near death. This comes at a cost, however, as he loses a part of his spark every time. 
== History ==
=== Before the War ===
Before he was the Autobot Leader, he was a Simple Clerk known as Orion Pax. In the twilight years of Cybertron's Golden Age, he noticed a mass growth in corruption among the high-ranking citizens and especially the government against the lower ranks. And because of this, he took a liking to the former Gladiator Megatronus, becoming inspired by his ideas and beliefs. Where they clashed, however, was that Orion believed that change could be brought upon through peace while Megatronus believed only violence would bring them change. This clash of ideals resulted in the brutal Cybertronian Civil War later on. The council when offered both of their ideas, decided that Optimus would be the best choice, for his words moved them, Megatron though was not pleased and as Halogen would grant Prime the Matrix, Megatron and his forces attacked, killing the council. War was declared.
=== The War ===
After countless centuries of war on Cybertron, the final battle would be in Iacon itself, the Battle of Iacon. It was this battle that saw Brawn and countless Autobot soldiers killed or left behind, though it was also the battle leading to Megatron's presumed death. In the end, the Ark had to be taken off world, alongside the remaining autobots, sent to Earth to avoid the war. He crashed onto Earth and immediately scanned a truck for his alt mode. He was introduced to the three humans, Sam, Miko and Noah by Jazz after a battle with Decepticon Barricade. In the same day Blackout would be captured, and Optimus led the investigation, though he got no new information besides the fact Starscream led the cons. 
Eventually, Ravage manages to trick the group into believing the Nemesis is flying over and takes the initiative, freeing Blackout. Optimus comes back and attempts to shoot Ravage, but Blackout, who just freed himself, fires the Prime through the Ark using his sonic cannon. The bots are forced to relocate, and Prime makes contact with Agent Fowler, finding the base Omega One and reporting it is just what they needed. Eventually his patrol gets back, saying they discovered Shockwave searching for Swoop and he dispatches seperate groups.
