Optimus Prime is the Autobot leader from the Generation 1 continuity family. He is the awe-inspiring leader of the Autobot forces. Selfless and endlessly courageous, he is the opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron. Originally a mere civilian, he was chosen by the Matrix to command, the first in several heavy burdens he has been forced to bear. Another is his bringing of the Transformers' conflict to Earth. Every casualty, human or Cybertronian, weighs heavily on his spark. He does not show this side to his soldiers, and he never succumbs to despair. The Autobots need a decisive, charismatic leader, and that is what he gives them. It was that leadership which turned the tide of the Great War.

On the battlefield, there are few who rival Optimus Prime's prowess. He is easily the strongest of any Autobot his size, and his ion blaster and his energon-axe 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 the Decepticons have taken advantage of time and again... though it is also the source of his strength!
