Optimus Prime

Once a simple librarian named Orion Pax, He and Megatron were good friends, however, when he was Chosen by the Council to be the next Prime, Things quickly changed. During the very start of the War, He was chosen by the Matrix of Leadership itself to be its holder. Becoming Optimus Prime, Leader of the Autobots.

## Personality

Optimus is truly a force of nature, Being able to take on Hundreds, even Thousands of Enemies all at once and come out on top barely hurt, which along with being trained by none other than Sentinel Prime himself, makes him a nightmare for any Con to fight. But despite this immense power, He is incredibly Gentle to his Fellow Autobots, even to the point of being a Father Figure to many of them.

## Plot

### Prologue

Optimus is seen throwing cons out of the way, one being Acid Storm who is thrown like trash. As he fought he saw the other bots struggle to fight Soundwave and Barricade, firing his weapon at Soundwave. He tanks fire from Soundwave, ramming the slender decepticon to the floor. Eventually, as Shockwave arrives Optimus calls for the Autobots to fall back. As he attempts to make his escape he is confronted by Megatron who attacks Optimus. After a scuffle, it ends with Optimus throwing Megatron down a chasm, presumably killing the Decepticon Leader. Prime escapes onto the Ark, with the other bots.

### Season 1

When Blackout attacks Bumblebee and Smokescreen, Optimus arrives and dispatches the con, taking him in for interrogation. The bots learn from Blackout that the Nemesis will fly over and unleash a horde of cons to attack within five minutes. On cue, a shape appeared on the radar, and the main fighting bots went out. Optimus came back to find Blackout gone, and Soundwave activates the comms, repeating Smokescreen's earlier speech, but edited.

Optimus trains the Autobots, to assure that nothing like the previous day would happen again. Jazz suggests that they find the Dinobots to beat the Decepticon's firepower, and Prime agrees. They get Wheeljack to find the location of the beasts and head out also accompanied by Warpath. Optimus walks into a cave, coming into contact with Grimlock, who lowers himself to show he isn't a threat. Smokescreen contacts the bots to come back to the Ark, which Ironhide has got working.

Prime comes back to see Slug with the Autobots now and the Ark is about to move to a new location. Ten contacts are seen on the radar. Shockwave and the Combaticons are seen and the Dinobots head to attack. Optimus goes with the rest of the bots outside of the ark. They've been fooled however and Soundwave appears, shooting Prime. Prime fires his blaster at Soundwave before being shot from behind by Shockwave. His blades are grabbed by Shockwave but he punches the Cyclops in the eye. Shockwave calls for backup and Vehicon Soldiers March out. Optimus is frozen however when a newly revived Megatron emerges from a bridge.

Megatron fires a blast, ripping a hole straight through the Ark and Optimus fires. Megatron walks through the blasts unphased and suddenly slashes the leader in the chest. Optimus falls to his knees and stabs Megatrons leg, to which the Decepticon leader simply snaps the sword in half. Optimus gets thrown into the Ark and Megatron is about to finish the job but Jazz comes in and shoots Megs to distract him. Optimus uses this to his advantage and punches Megatron in the face whilst Ratchet comes from behind and saws the leader's back. Prime catches Ratchet who's been thrown by Megatron. Prime stabs Megatron in the leg just as Grimlock bursts out and hits the leader with a mace. Megatron manages to hit Grimlock away and him and Prime charge. Sideswipe appears and distracts Megs long enough for Optimus to stab him in the chest. Megatron just laughs it off to Prime's dismay and Megatron calls himself a god, shooting Prime far away. Sideswipe once again attempts to stop Megatron, but gets obliterated in one blast. Megatron leaves and the Autobots mourn their fallen comrade.

## Trivia

- Optimus Prime in War for Earth is similar to both Transformers Prime Optimus and Bayverse, having the compassion of Transformers Prime but being quick to destroy any cons in his way, albeit showing mercy wherever he can.

- Optimus is one of if not the strongest characters in the series, ranking only below Unicron (who only he can beat), scaling even above his nemesis Megatron.

- In joke roleplays, Optimus's "Let them come" speech is commonly made into a sexual joke by other bots and cons.

- Optimus is the only character not in the prologue to be revived in the series.
