Description

As a young archivist, Optimus Prime saw the corruption of his government as a tragic pitfall that impeded the language of hope. Though his trade versed him well in the sordid history of Cybertron  and the imperfect rules who guided it, he nonetheless believed in the power of the system.

Eventually, thanks to his rousing and inspirational speeches about hope, unity, and justice, Optimus Prime became part of that system, and with Megatron 's help, he was able to purge the corrupt officials who had damaged it. Now, Prime leads the Cybertronian High Senate, while Commander Megatron  has forged a parallel path in the military. Prime sometimes doubts Megatron's intentions and is worried that he might be abusing his power, but so far, Prime's idealism overrules his skepticism. Prime's ultimate goal is to make Axiom Nexus  a shining beacon to the countless war-torn universes he's studied, and starting trouble within his own administration would undercut his message of unity.

Though he is a government official, Optimus Prime is not without weaponry. Each shoulder houses a generator that allows him to summon directed currents of radiation that will cause his targets to short circuit and deactivate. His massive forearms are likewise filled with various armaments, and his entire body is heavily armored. He is his Cybertron's current Matrix -bearer.[1]

Tyger Pax 's vast historical records started Optimus on his thirst for knowledge. As an archivist, he read everything he could, from its constant struggles to maintain peace, toextra-dimensional threats , to the seemingly unbreakable cycle of political corruption. Despite all this, he believed that one day his Cybertron could be an example to the less-fortunate Cybertrons of other dimensions, and so Optimus began to speak out. He was a gifted orator, and so followers began to gather around him from all political sides. Even the more military-minded Decepticons  began to listen, especially a young mech named Megatron . Together, they forged an alliance that carried them upwards through their respective hierarchies of power.

It was after a short term in the Binary House  and a quick ascension to the High Senate  that Optimus and Megatron uncovered a vast conspiracy that linked Sentinel Prime  to the Liege Maximo . So severe was this revelation that it nearly destroyed the entire government and the peace it had maintained for so long. However, in its wake, as numerous officials were crowded into prison, Optimus was promoted to Prime. He strives to govern with the fairness and civility that he preached about all those years ago, and to bring a new Golden Age of hope to Cybertron, and so far, he's largely succeeded.[1]

Change Transformation we can believe in.

Optimus Prime and the rest of the High Senate granted an audience to two "outworlders " who had requested a conversation with Optimus. Though the two outworlders, Path Finder  and Bug Bite , were victims of a multiversal cataclysm on an exploratory mission and had arrived wrongly in Axiom Nexus , Megatron viewed them with cold contempt and suspicion. While Prime had compassion for the stranded mechanoids, his legal hands were tied, and, as Megatron would remind him, rightfully so. Their plight was nothing compared to the potential dangers they offered. Optimus wished the outworlders well in their new home. Withered Hope

Meanwhile, other mechanoids of interest had landed in Axiom Nexus. Through Senator Ratbat , Megatron sought permission to attempt more invasive procedures, for killing Breakaway  could lead to significant breakthroughs in learning. Optimus Prime would have nothing to do with it. He considered their desired actions to be murderous.Transcendent: Part 4

Optimus Prime was next seen responding to a situation at the Transwarp Complex  in Axiom Nexus. A group of rogues led by Alpha Trion  had broken into the complex and assaulted Shockwave and Megatron and several others, and Optimus Prime arrived with CheetorStarscream , and Silverbolt . Ultimately, Alpha Trion's group was able to escape through a gateway into another dimension. Transcendent: Part 6

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

An unspecified time later, Optimus Prime broke Axiom Nexus protocol by assembling a team of various other Optimus Primes and their kin , collectively known as the Convoy . A multiversal cataclysm in a universe  seeded with Rarified Energon  and an invasion by natives from the negative polarity universe  had the potential to threaten everything, calling for extreme measures. Invasion Prologue
