## Biography

### Early life

Optimus was born on Cybertron at some point before the Attack on Starscream's Base. He was born as a Prime and at some point bacame an Autobot general.

### Confronting Megatron

During the time of the Attack on Starscream's Base he confronted the Decepticon leader Megatron on several pillars, but the Decepticon escaped before the fight even began.

### Taking the command

At some point after the battle, Zeta Prime was killed by the Decepticons and succeded by Sentinel Prime as their leader. At an unknown point Optimus succeded him as the Autobot leader. At some point after the Cube, an object that created the Cybertronian race, was lost, he allowed another Autobot J4U to leave the planet. Later on he ordered all the Autobots to leave Cybertron.

### Getting the message

In 2014 he got a message that the Cube is located on Minecraftia and ordered J4U to get it. He sent him to a Quatar base where the Autobot was located for 50 days. On the fiftieth day the base was attacked by the Decepticon third-in-command Blackout and J4U contacted Optimus shortly before he was knocked unconcious.

### Finding Sam

Later on after he was captured by Sector 7, J4U sent a distress signal to the other Autobots. Optimus sent Bumblebee to go find J4U and ordered him to go find Sam Witwicky, as the boy possesed a pair of glasses which had the cube's coordinates enwritten on them. Bumblebee would encounter J4U in an Unknown city where he would pass him Prime's orders.

### Finding the glasses

When J4U and Bumblebee found Sam, Optimus contacted and ordered them to retrive the glasses that he posesed because they showed the coordinates of the Cube.

### Landing on Minecraftia

Not long after, Optimus himself arrived on Minecraftia along with Jazz, Ratchet and Ironhide, landing in the same city. Upon their landing, he messaged the two Autobots, who just wounded Barricade and killed Frenzy, to come to him.

### Meeting Sam and fighting Sector 7

Bumblebee and J4U later arrived to the group along with Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes. J4U gave all four of them some energon much to their delight. Optimus then explained to Sam and Mikaela that they are a species coming from Cybertron and that they came to Minecraftia in order to find the Cube before Megatron. He continued to explain that their race went into a civil war due to the Decepticons and that when the Cube was lost Megatron went after it and crash-landed on Minecraftia. He also revealed that Archibald Witwicky, Sam's grandfather, found the Decepticon and accidentaly activated his navigation system causing the Cube's coordinates

to become enwritten on his glasses. The group then went to Sam's house but they were attacked by Sector 7 which was lead by Seymour Simmons. J4U managed to grab the glasses and the Autobots retreated but Sam and Mikaela were captured by the agents, causing Optimus, Bumblebee and J4U to go back. Optimus and Bumblebee were held back however and J4U was captured as well. Optimus was however able to retrive the glasses.

### At the Hoover Dam

At some point after the battle, Optimus and the rest of his team came to the Hoover Dam where he revealed to them that he got the glasses. Jazz also asked him what were they going to do about J4U to which he replied that they will save him after they find the Cube.

### Going into Mission City

Optimus and the others later regrouped with Sam, Mikaela, Simmons and J4U. J4U also told him that he had the Cube but that they need to get away from the dam. Due to that they went into Mission City where Optimus stayed at the edge and sent J4U in to make sure the city is secure. J4U encountered Bonecrusher, but killed him and reported that millitary can come.

### Starscream's ambush

When the millitary arrived, Optimus and the Autobots grouped up with them. They were later bombed by Starscream, albeit there were no casualties. Optimus stayed with the humans the whole time in order to protect them if there were any Decepticons around.

### Attacked by Megatron

Later in battle, Optimus stood with the rest of the group while Jazz, J4U and the soldiers went on a patrol. They however encountered Brawl and although he was killed, Jazz and all the soldiers perished as well. J4U then reported what happened to Optimus and said that it can't get any worse. Just then Megatron swinged in and crashed into Prime, sending them crashing through a nearby building.

### Ending the battle

After Megatron crashed into him, the two crashed through a building and fell down it. They then hit the floor of an apartment and bounced up, crashing into the underground upon falling. They battled through a tunel and Megatron flew into Prime again, sending them crashing on the surface. They then continued their battle on a parkside and Optimus was soon joined by his Autobots. They took on Megatron but when they nearly

killed him, he flew away and regenerated his health. Bumblebee was later injured and Megatron flew away and regenerated again as well. He then injured Ironhide and Ratchet while Optimus and J4U went on to battle him to death. Optimus was severly wounded by him but was healed by Ratchet and returned back into battle. When he arrived, he and J4U began taking down Megatron and after a while J4U began slamming the Decepticon with the Cube. Optimus then ran in and killed Megatron ending the Battle of Mission City. The Cube was however somehow destroyed, which was explained to Prime by J4U who was holding on to it.

### Working with the humans

Optimus recorded the events of 2014 into a message that he sent into space in order to tell any surviving Autobots that Minecraftia was their new home. After the battle, the Autobots and humans made an alliance called NEST. which hounted down the remaining Decepticons on Minecraftia. Optimus became one of NEST.'s head commanders. He, Ratchet, Ironhide and J4U were soon joined on Minecraftia by Jolt, Skids, Sideswipe and Mudflap. J4U was also remade into Subwoofer and Optimus named him his new second-in-command. Before the Battle of Shanghai, the team confronted five Decepticons, each on a different continent.

### Battle of Shanghai

In 2016, Shanghai was attacked by Decepticons. Optimus did not fight in the battle, as he, Ratchet and Jolt were chasing Starscream, although the rest of the Autobots were able to help. While they were on pursuit many humans perished in the city. Optimus asked if any Autobot was able to asist the humans who were stuck in the ally with Subwoofer responding to him. Optimus commented that he liked his new name bfore telling him to get on a point where he could attack. The three Autobots came into Shanghai, just when Subwoofer

prepared to execute Sideways, the Decepticons' second-in-command. Optimus explained that Starscream was able to escape from them and when Subwoofer killed the Decepticon they received a warning from him, saying that The Fallen shall rise again. Optimus was the only one that was able to recognize the name and told everyone that this was an ancient Cybertronian myth and that the Fallen was one of the original 12 Primes. The group then returned back to Waschington D.C. into their base. There, Optimus told Subwoofer that director Simmons will come to the base in a short period of time and that he will need his assistance welcomg him. Subwoofer asked him how Simmons became a director, to which he replied that after Sector 7 was disbandaned, humans knew that he had knowledge about Cybertronians, their psychology and atonomy, limitations and strenghts, making him a powerful addition to the team. Subwoofer agreed, although he first went to check what everyone was doing. When Simmons and Glenn Morshower arrived, Optimus greeted them and reveled to them that their alliance encountered six Decepticon groups in this year, each time on a different continent. Do to that Simmons figured out that they were looking for something while Subwoofer explained that their current believe

is that Starscream sended them to gather sources of energon spread around when the Cube was destroyed. Optimus then said that this was what they pressumed until Sideways gave them a warning. Simmons began questioning him why the Decepticons didn't leave Earth after the Cube was destroyed, to which Optimus replied that this was what they intended do find out. Simmons further more continued furiously that the Autobots were willing to share their information with the humans but not their advanced equipement and weaponry. Optimus replied that they have wittnesed human compacity for war and that it would bring more harm than good, much to Simmons' questioning of him as he believed that the Autobots didn't have the rights to judge about that. He then continued that the newest members of the group (Sideswipe, Subwoofer, Skids, Mudflap and Jolt) arrived on Minecraftia when they received a message, without the aknowledgement of the goverment. When he asked Optimus, if the goverment decided for the Autobots to leave the planet would they leave peacefuly, he said that if they would make that request they will honour it. Howevhere he added that before the president decided, Simmons should ask him what if they leave and Simmons is wrong. Simmons then went on to say that the Decepticons didn't have anything else on Earth, as Megatron was rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss and that the last shard of the Cube is being kept in one of the most secured places on the world. Unknowingly to both of them, a Decepticon spy Soundwave, was spying on them and retrieved the information about Megatron and the shard's locations.

### Talking to Sam

After Soundwave retrieved the information, he sended Ravage to Minecraftia in order to steal the shard which he did. When hearing that the shard was stolen, Optimus ordered Subwoofer to go get Sam and bring him to a cemetery. When they arrived Subwoofer backed away to let the two talk. Sam was furious at Optimus, saying that he couldn't give him a week in college. Optimus told him that the last fragment of the Cube was stolen to which Sam replied if it was Decepticon stolen. He then told the boy that the Autobots placed it under human

    protection do to their govement's request but that they now blame them for the Decepticon attacks. He added that they might be right but that's why they had to be reminded by another human about the trust they shared. Sam said that this wasn't his war to which Optimus said that it was not yet but he fears that soon it will be and that their dimension cannot live the same fate as Cybertron. Sam then said to him that he wants to help but that he is not an alien ambasador but a kid with normal problems. Optimus then told him that fate rarely calls upon them at the moment of their choosing.

### "Saving" Subwoofer

After the talk, Optimus went back to NEST while Sam was driven to his college by Subwoofer. There Subwoofer got attacked and captured by Breakdown and sevral Protoforms. When the Autobot fell unconcious

a distress signal was sent to NEST and Optimus along with the rest of the Autobots, including Bumblebee who joined NEST, went to the Stadium where the Decepticons brought Sub. By the time that they arrived, Subwoofer had killed all the Decepticons and upon his question what they were doing at the place, Prime replied that they came to rescue him. The Autobots then began to suspect that the Decepticons were planning something and that Starscream might be involved into the event. Secretly the Decepticon leader went to succesfuly resurrect Megatron at the Laurentian Abyss.

### Talking with Subwoofer

After Megatron was resurrected, the Autobots went back to their base and discused the event with Simmons, Morshower and Lennox. Optimus agreed with Subwoofer's theory that Soundwave sent Ravage to steal the shard (which he did) and when Sub questioned why Starscream would want to resurrect Megatron, Optimus speculated that there's something bigger going on. When Ratchet and Jolt found out that the Decepticons had a base in space and Simmons wanted to blast the Autobots off of Minecraftia, Optimus told the director to let the two work and when they finished, they would track down Megatron and sent him back to the ocean floor. He than asked Subwoofer to speak in private with him in order to check if he was doing all right as he figured out that Starscream tried to psychologicali warfare against him. Upon Sub's confusion he said that Starscream

tried to weaken him by hurting him emotionaly as shown by the fact that he sent Breakdown and Sideways his way. Subwoofer said that this was working, so Optimus tried to comfort him but upon calling him J4U the lieutenant angrily replied that this was not him anymore and that J4U died with Arcee. Sub than offered to quit the position of the Autobot second-in-command much to Optimus' shock as he belived that he was their best fighter and best at heart. The Autobot howevhere refused to stay do to remembering the fact that Starscream, Breakdown and Sideways killed three good soldiers with one of them being the bot he loved, and drove away to pick up Mikaela and go surprise Sam.

### Battling Megatron

Later on Subwoofer picked up Sam and Mikaela at Sam's college but they were captured by Grindor who tookthem to a Factory where Megatron and Starscream were located, as the Decepticons were hunting Sam in order to get Optimus, the last active Prime, to them so they could kill both of them. Subwoofer went into a duel with Megatron, with Starscream and Grindor as spectators, but lost. By the time Optimus had howevhere found the group's location and blasted his way through one of the factory's walls, pounding the Decepticon away before he could do anything to the trio.

### Forest battle and death

When Optimus took on Megatron, the Decepticon was forced to retreat and drove away through the hole that Optimus created. He and Subwoofer hid behind one of the fallen pillars in order to avoid Grindor's and Starscream's shots. Optimus told Sub to not worry about the situation and the two went on to pursue Megatron after picking up Sam and Mikaela. When outside, they found Cybertronian tier marks. Subwoofer attempted to call the rest of the team to come and help them but as soon as he contacted Ironhide they were attacked by Protoforms, forcing Ironhide to end the call. When the two Autobots came onto a bridge, it got destroyed by Megatron causing the two to fall into the forest below. When Subwoofer awoke, Optimus and him went to

research what happened and soon found out that this was a trap as all three Decepticons attacked them. Optimus commented that he will take them all on and engaged them in combat. During the battle, Optimus killed Grindor, refearing to him as piece of scrap. The Autobots then engaged the remaining two foes, with them taking heavy fire. Optimus told Subwoofer to protect the humans and got killed by Megatron shortly after. This forced Subwoofer to retreat.

### Death and resurrection

Following Optimus' demise, the rest of NEST showed up to help Subwoofer, with them forcing Megatron and Starscream to retreat. Ratchet was howevhere unable to help Prime as he had been gone for to long. With his death the dinasty of Primes came to an end, allowing the Decepticons to launch a full-scale invasion on Earth, with the Fallen leading them as there was noone left to stop him. To fill his place, Ironhide took command over the Autobots.

Optimus was later mentioned by Ironhide when he told Subwoofer that Prime would want him to lead the Autobots and that he would be proud of him if he would see what Sub was doing in his absence. With the help of Simmons Sam, Mikaela, Subwoofer, Skids, Mudflap, Bumblebee and Jolt found and elderly Autobot named Jetfire who told them that only a Prime could defeat the Fallen and that they could resurrect Optimus with the matrix of leadership. The group was later teleported to Cairo by the Aerialbot and they soon found the matrix. Upon doing do, Subwoofer contacted Ironhide and told him to bring Optimus' body to Egypt in order to resurrect him. Once they arrived in Cairo, Optimus' body was placed into a pit in a small city, with the group that had the matrix arriving soon after. Jetfire told Sub that in order to resurrect Prime he had to open the matrix and place it into Prime's chest. The medic then jumped in and said that this won't be enough because Optimus was gone for too long and his parts were too weak to keep him alive, after which Jetfire said that he

should use his parts because they were forged by the original Primes themselves. Ratchet warned him that this would be fatal, though Jetfire accepted his demise. He then said that even if they did so, it would be a day long surgery which was far too long, upon which Jolt stepped in and said that he could electrify and speed up the process. Ratchet said that the energon required to do this would cost him his spark, only for Jolt to say that this didn' matter because Prime did the same for all of them and that his brothers' deaths in the desert would be for nothing if he wouldn't live again. Seeing that both Jetfire and Jolt made up their minds, Ratchet set up sevral pipes between the former and Prime upon which he told Jolt to electrify them. Subwoofer then placed the matrix of leadership into Prime's body, with the process speeding up, dissasembling and killing Jetfire with some of his parts going to Optimus while the left-overs were given to Subwoofer. Jolt died as a result of energy loss too, but Prime himself stoop up once again. Upon being resurrected he got asked by Sub if this was really him, which he confirmed before asking the Autobot if he was Subwoofer which he confirmed too before saying to call him J4U.

### Battle of Egypt

Shortly afterwards Optimus was complimented for his new look by Subwoofer. The group also figured out that the operation had a mix-up as Prime only got the parts required to bring him back to life while the rest of them went to Sub because he was standing so close.
