"I have been foolish not to see what history has proven over and over again, that Autobots and Decepticons will never mend their ways. If there can be no diplomatic solution to this perpetual conflict, then I must not allow darkness to fall upon this or any planet. Megatron must be destroyed!"
Name: Optimus Prime
Age: Unknown, probably thousands of years
Species: Cybertronian
Gender: Male
Personality:
Optimus Prime is first and foremost a leader. His stoic nature allows him to calmly react to any situation that he is forced to deal with. To some he comes off as stern, as his seriousness frequently prevents him from having much interest in humor. This solemn demeanor originates from years of civil war, one he blames himself for starting. While difficult to anger the prime, endangering the innocent is one way to quickly irritate him.
At the same time, Optimus is an extremely caring being. He will do anything to protect his allies, and is more than willing to sacrifice himself to ensure their safety. He even has been shown to risk his own spark to extend the hand of friendship to his enemies, he strongly believes in the concept of redemption. While he has a strict code of honor, he is very capable of utilizing more 'Decepticon-like' methods to ensure the safety of his allies.
Not entirely knowledgeable on non-Cybertronian civilizations, he finds himself constantly learning. One such concept that struck a chord with the prime, was the idea of Family.
Bio: Tfwiki profile
For some time, things were going well on Earth ... Too well. Something had happened, and the Decepticons were missing. Without any clues to the mystery, there was nothing the Autobots could do but keep vigilance.
After being approached by a group claiming to be from the multiverse, Optimus was doubtful of their claims. According to the representatives from a certain Resistance, the Decepticons had allied themselves with an entity known as the Reign of Chaos. While it took some convincing, Optimus reluctantly agreed to go with them to allow them to validate their claim. A skirmish in an alternate universe quickly proved the resistance members to be telling the truth.
Claiming that the Decepticons could not be allowed to spread their war throughout the multiverse, Optimus allied the Autobots with the Resistance. Although their wars were different, the Reign of Chaos was as great a threat to Cybertron and Earth, as the Decepticons.
Abilities:
As a Cybertronian, Optimus can switch between one of two forms. His true form is that of a humanoid robot, while his alternate/disguised form is that of a Earth based Semi-truck. Standing about 29 feet tall in robot form, he often towers over both his allies and enemies alike.
Unquestionably the strongest Autobot, Optimus holds the sacred Matrix of Leadership, giving him with the strength and wisdom of all the past Primes. Add on his combat experience, it makes him a truly formidable opponent. He has been known to be more than capable of taking on entire armies. Leading the Autobots through civil war, he has extensive knowledge and experience in battlefield tactics and strategies. His weaponry is comprised of twin wrist mounted ion cannons, and dual wrist blades.
