Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime (オプティマス・プライム, Oputimasu Puraimu) is the leader of the Autobots. A really long time ago, he was originally named Orion Pax (オライオン・パックス, Oraion Pakkusu), a simple data and records clerk who worked in the Iacon Hall of Records. When Megatron was corrupted by the Fallen, Optimus discovered that he was the last of the Dynasty of Primes hidden away when the Fallen destroyed their lineage. In response to Megatron's attempts to seize the AllSpark and conquer other worlds, Optimus assumed his proper title and rallied the Autobots to stand against the Decepticons. After the disappearance of Sentinel and the death of Zeta, in the later future, Optimus is handed the leadership of the Autobots.

As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him even at the cost of his life, his world and - if necessary - his own people. It was he that the AllSpark was jettisoned into space, when he was Zeta's second-in-command, dooming Cybertron to a slow death and his people to a nomadic life. The sacrifices he has made weigh heavily on his spark, but they must be done for there is no other choice. He knows the ambitions that lurk in his brother's spark and they must never see the light of day. Lives must be kept free from the threat of Megatron's tyranny, no matter the cost. This obsession with the defeat of Megatron has robbed Optimus of some of his early idealism. This has created a certain ruthlessness beneath his otherwise honest and caring personality. Prime is not one for second chances and is willing to consider any action that might lead to victory, short of directly sacrificing those he cares about.

"A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes."
