Biography[]

Bumblebee[]

Leader of the Autobot resistance during the war for Cybertron, Optimus took part in the final battle for Cybertron against the Decepticons but correctly realized the Autobots would soon be overrun by the Decepticon advance. As the Autobot rearguard battled Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockwave, Optimus explained to his troops that they would need to abandon Cybertron and regroup elsewhere in the galaxy as they headed to a nearby launchpad. Prime explained to his scout, B-127, that he had selected the Earth as the site of a new Autobot base, instructing him to reconnoiter the planet while he and the other refugees gathered Autobots throughout the galaxy to rendezvous at Earth.

As the Decepticons closed on the launchpad and attempted to destroy it, Prime attempted to buy time for the Autobots by leaping into battle, taking on the Decepticon soldiers but when Soundwave confronted him, he was unable to overpower Soundwave's pet Ravage who force Optimus into a struggle. Though Optimus fought Ravage off, the distraction cost him his gun and allowed the Decepticons combined forces to surround him as Cybertron fell.

Despite this, Prime was somehow able to escape the Decepticons and leave Cybertron; at some point afterward, the Decepticons Shatter and Dropkick fruitlessly attempted to interrogate Cliffjumper about Prime's whereabouts. What the Decepticons didn't know was that Prime had landed on Earth shortly before the other Autobots made planetfall, and adopted a cab-over truck mode as a terrestrial disguise. It was in this form that he met up with B-127—now calling himself "Bumblebee"—on the Golden Gate Bridge after Bumblebee and Charlie Watson parted ways.

That night, Prime and Bumblebee took refuge in a nearby forest, with Optimus thanking the scout for his efforts and commending his bravery as they watched more Autobot escape crafts descend to Earth.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts[]

Seven years after his arrival on Earth, Optimus, stranded on Earth after his arrival and being reunited with Bumblebee, updated his alternate mode to have a bulbar and sun visors. He became mentally worn down from being unable to leave and laid low in New York for the time being, up until the Transwarp Key activated, sending a transmission into the sky. Optimus immediately signaled for Bumblebee, Arcee, and Mirage to rendezvous at a warehouse to make plans to retrieve the key and finally return home to Cybertron.

Arriving last at the location, he noticed that Mirage had brought a human, revealed by Arcee to be Noah Diaz, to their location. Optimus initially dismissed Noah, continuing to talk with the other Autobots to come up with a plan in order to retrieve the Transwarp Key. Mirage offered the idea of Noah to retrieve the key for them, as he was the ideal size in order for them to be able to sneak around into the location. Initially against the idea, Optimus eventually agreed to the plan.

Optimus waited on standby alongside Bumblebee and Arcee, the Autobot Leader still untrusting of Noah's capability to assist them. Bumblebee tried to say that the human race was not that bad, and while Optimus acknowledged that Bumblebee was treated kindly by another human, he stood firm with his belief, and grew annoyed while waiting.

The wait was shortened, however, as the Terrorcons arrived on the scene, and Optimus headed into the battlefield with the other Autobots by his side. Optimus was be overpowered by the Terrorcon leader, Scourge, and pinned to the floor via Battletrap. Before Scourge could deal the finishing blow to Optimus, Scourge redirected his attack towards Bumblebee, and Optimus had to watch his old friend be blasted by the Terrorcon leader, and was forced to retreat with Noah and another human named Elena Wallace, after being rescued by the Maximal Warrior Airazor.

Wounded emotionally by the loss of his surrogate son, Optimus tried to pin the blame of the situation onto Noah, with the human placing the blame back on Optimus. Initially believing for all hope to be lost with Scourge holding the Transwarp Key and being able to summon the Chaos Bringer, Airazor clarified that Scourge had only half of the Transwarp Key, with Elena stating that the remaining half is in Peru. Optimus then changed their objective to getting both halves of the Transwarp Key and to kill Scourge. Realizing that the entire Autobot Team and the humans would need a means to travel to Peru, Optimus enlisted the help of Stratosphere to fly the team, remaining mostly silent in the flight to Peru, while hoping that Bumblebee could be revived with an Energon transfusion.

Upon arrival in Peru, Optimus and his team were guided by Wheeljack to the city of Cusco in order to reach the location of the remaining half of the Transwarp Key, though they would not be able to traverse due to there being a festival held in the city at the time. Optimus reluctantly accepted the assistance of Noah and Elena to reach the temple while he and the other Autobots would lay low in vehicle mode throughout the city for reinforcement. Upon the transmission received by Noah, Optimus and the other Autobots moved out towards their location to the jungle, with Scourge and the other Terrorcons following suit. Optimus transformed once out the city, telling Mirage he would get the half of the key from Scourge, as well as remove his head. Optimus shot at the Terrorcon leader, but Scourge tackled Optimus down the cliffside. Their fight was cut short by Airazor, Optimus then moved ahead towards the other Autobots and humans. Optimus then jumped into a standoff between the Autobots and humans against the other Maximals in the area. Airazor broke the tension between him and Optimus Primal, the latter revealing to Optimus he was his namesake.

Resting in a nearby village that was aware of the existence of the Maximals, Optimus looked over the lifeless body of Bumblebee once more, with Primal stating that there is raw Energon in the area, but it is inert and would not be able to restore Bumblebee in the state it was in. Optimus then discussed the matter of the humans with Optimus Primal, the Maximal leader stating that all life mattered to them, while also finding that the humans are able to be trusted.

The day after this conversation, however, Airazor, corrupted by an attack from Scourge, stole both the Transwarp Key and Elena, and while ready to shoot down the infected Maximal, Primal stopped him from doing so. Optimus arrived to the location of both Elena and Noah. He noticed the latter was ready to destroy the half of the Transwarp Key with his blaster, but Optimus plead with Noah to not destroy it, the Key being his only way to get himself and the Autobots home. The Transwarp Key however was stolen once more and placed into the hand of Scourge, Optimus coming in shortly after Primal was forced to kill Airazor.

Left with little options, but also weighing Primal's belief in the humans alongside the efforts of Elena and Noah willing to not destroy the Key, Optimus made a plan to directly go after Scourge with the Maximals and Autobots, deciding to fight for Earth, and if necessary, die fighting to protect the planet no matter the cost. He joined in the plan to get the attention of the Terrorcons and Scourge while Elena and Noah sneaked up to the control panel of the Transwarp Drive and Elena could use the shutdown code in order to prevent Unicron's arrival. Optimus then partook in the final battle, taking on the Terrorcon Freezers as well as Battletrap, both him and Primal working together to dismantle the Terrorcon, with Optimus expressing annoyance with Primal doing the finishing blow.

Optimus soon made his way to the bridge in order to take on Scourge and assisted in the effort to stop the arrival of Unicron and protect Noah, but Optimus was soon be overwhelmed by the Terrorcon leader once more as well as an army of Freezers. Optimus was saved however, by Bumblebee revived via the Energon pulse given off by the Energon being ignited through the Transwarp Tower's activation. Upon being freed, Optimus gained the upper hand against Scourge. Though Scourge ended up destroying the control panel to the Transwarp Drive, but Optimus emerged victorious in their final fight, removing Scourge's head from his body while also removing the Autobot insignia Scourge had taken from Bumblebee in their first encounter.

Left with no options to stop Unicron, Optimus was forced to take another action and planned to destroy the Transwarp Key. Optimus ordered the other Autobots to leave immediately, giving Bumblebee his insignia back, before readying himself. Unicron tried to bargain with the Autobot leader in order to preserve the Key, but Optimus refused to listen, destroying the Key and causing the platform to explode. Optimus tried to save himself from the transwarp vortex sucking him into the closing portal, only to be helped by Noah grabbing his axe. The human refused to let Optimus die, and then they were rescued by Optimus Primal, the Maximal Leader throwing him towards a road for him to drive both himself and Noah to safety, the latter giving him a boost while in vehicle mode.

Optimus then returned to America in Stratosphere with the other Autobots and the humans, having found the ability to trust and have faith in them should they face any future threats that comes to Earth (either the Decepticons or Unicron).
