Optimus Prime

The original Optimus Prime is the now-dead former leader of the Autobots, however due to a change in the past, he merged with his "doppelganger", Ginrai, thereby becoming Optimus Ginrai.

## Personality

Optimus Prime is the awe-inspiring leader of the Autobot group. Selfless and endlessly courageous, he is the complete opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron. Originally a simple civilian known as Orion Pax or Optronix, he was chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to command, the first in a series of difficult responsibilities he was forced to bear. Another one is bringing Transformers' conflict to Earth. Each victim, human or Cybertronian, weighs heavily on his spark. He doesn't show this side to his soldiers and never falls into despair. The Autobots need a decisive, charismatic leader, and that's what he gives them. It was this leadership that turned the tide of the Great War.

On the battlefield, few can rival Optimus Prime's skill. He is undoubtedly the strongest Autobot of his size. Combined with his Battle Deck and Roller Drone, his Ion Blaster and Energon Ax are deadly weapons. He would sacrifice his life to protect his fellow Autobots or those under their care, and does so on a regular basis. His compassion for other sentient beings is his only real weakness, and one that the Decepticons take advantage of time and time again... although it is also the source of his strength!

And it was thanks to him and his technologies that Humanity moved to a new stage in the development of technology, having studied energon, thereby giving the green light to the creation of its robots, which were capable of even surpassing the Cybertronians themselves. And even after his death, he still causes fear among his enemies when they hear this name.

## Story

Before the war, Optimus Prime was originally Orion Pax, a young dock worker with a girlfriend named Ariel. But when the war began, Megatron destroyed them both, and Alpha Trion turned them into more powerful warriors.

Four million years ago, Optimus Prime ended the Decepticon attack on the Ark by guiding it towards prehistoric Earth. When both factions reawakened inside one of the dormant volcanoes, Optimus Prime and the Autobots repeatedly fought the Decepticons for a long time. During the attack on Autobot City on Earth, Prime fell in battle against Megatron and handed over the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus. However, before he died, he was glad that humanity was able to become equal to them by creating the first Gundam.

Optimus Prime returned many years later, once as a zombie, and again when he was restored by the Quintessons to stop the spread of the Hate Plague. After which, for some time, the 2 factions made a truce for some time and it seemed that the time for peace had come. However, at that moment, Charles zi Britannia ascended the throne, beginning preparations for a full-scale campaign to conquer the entire world, which became the new reason for a new attempt to destroy Humanity, quoting Megatron’s phrase: “*You see, Optimus? It’s your fault that the Earthlings have become so strong and proud that now they will not even feel sorry for us, Cybertronians, and now they will be ready to destroy us all! Therefore, we must immediately stop them through complete annihilation! So choose! Either you are with us or against us!*" Optimus chose the path of protecting Humans, despite their proud nature, because people can be completely different. The same example, Spike, who has already lived to a ripe old age.

One of the battles leads to Cybertron, where a bomb is planted in the core of the planet, which was initiated by Shockwave. When the operation to defuse the bomb turned out to be a failure, most of the Autobots and Decepticons were destroyed, including Optimus, who died there, but Megatron, now Galvatron, was able to survive. Soon after the events, leadership temporarily passed to Fortress Maximus, and soon to his direct heir Optimus, Star Saber.

However, during the operation to change the past, Cybertron was saved, and Optimus himself merged with Ginrai, thereby becoming Optimus Ginrai, but outwardly he did not change at all.
