“*Stay strong, soldier, I'm coming.*”
―Optimus Prime to Bumblebee
**Optimus Prime** (real name **Orion Pax**) is one of the main characters of *Transformers* rebooted films.

## Summary

Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots and has a close friendship with B-127, AKA Bumblebee, serving as his mentor and father figure. In 1987, he charged Bee with finding a home for the Autobots to regroup; the Earth.

In 1994, Optimus kept the Autobots' existence a secret from humanity until Mirage brings a human to their base. They are all dragged in a two way war between the factions: the Terrorcons and the Maximals. He's a bit reluctant with humanity at first until time spent with Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace.

## Trivia

* Unlike the G1 version, Optimus was initially skeptical and cynical towards humans, despite Bumblebee and Mirage's protests, with a few notable differences. However, Optimus changed his mind about humans when he met Optimus Primal and his relationships with Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace when Optimus Prime successfully convinced Noah not to destroy the Transwarp key.

1. ↑ Though he was dismissive towards humans, Optimus acknowledged that Charlie Watson was the notable exception because she selflessly helped Bumblebee the first time he came to Earth.
2. ↑ He learns Primal trusted humans to look after the transwarp key and that there is more to humanity than meets the eye.
