War for Cybertron


Optimus Prime is a powerful, decorated and renowned military leader of the Autobots, and a close personal friend of the current leader, Zeta Prime. At a certain point, he saves Bumblebee from his Decepticon assailants. Unfortunately, he learns that Zeta Prime has been murdered by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. In light of this new information, Optimus takes it upon himself to lead the Autobots in all but name against their foes and avenge his friend's death until the Autobot council can announce a successor.



In the first battle that the mighty warrior undertakes, he successfully leads a defense of the Autobot city, Iacon, from the Decepticon onslaught- sending their leader, Starscream running in fear, and his men in full retreat. Afterwards, Optimus and his warriors find a startling piece of information, it turns out that Bumblebee's report was false; Zeta Prime lives and is being held prisoner by the Decepticons bearing information that will allow the Autobots to triumph in the war against Megatron and his ilk. Faced with this knowledge, Optimus Prime takes it upon himself to free his friend and leader, despite warnings of the possibility of a trap, and his men fearing for his life. Allowing himself to be captured in Megatron's Kaon Prison, he and his Autobots fight their way to the heart of the complex, where they find Zeta Prime's body wired into a machine by Soundwave. They free him of his bindings, and Optimus takes up the solemn duty of carrying a fallen hero to the Autobot High Council.

He carries Zeta Prime's ruined husk to the Autobot High Council, mourning the loss of his friend and leader, Optimus beseeches the Council for their wisdom. They reiterate that it is their charge simply to christen the Prime, and it is the charge of the Prime to defend his people. Optimus scornfully reminds them that the line of Primes has failed. The council is undeterred, asking the mighty Optimus why he denies his destiny. They then speak of how long they have watched the Prime fall to their own greed and pride, and comment on how Optimus is superior to all that have come before, for his courage and wisdom has transformed the lives of those around him, and transformed calamity into victory. Reluctant to take up this position, but now no longer, Optimus, now Optimus Prime, accepts his new title, and duty, they then bestow upon him the quest to cleanse the Core of Cybertron of the Dark Energon Megatron has infected it with. His first exploit as Prime, is to rescue and repair the tortured Omega Supreme, after which, he descends into the core.



Though he succeeds in stopping the Decepticon machinery feeding the core with corruption, Optimus is horrified to learn from the Core itself that the damage has been too severe. They were too late. However, it also tells them that the damage can be reversed, however, such a process will take millions of years, and Cybertron must shut down all it's systems. As a final gesture of hope, the Core grants Optimus Prime, the last Prime, the Matrix of Leadership. A piece of the spark of Cybertron, telling him that he now carries Cybertron with him, and through him, it shall endure.

Optimus Prime must now order a complete planetary evacuation, however, Megatron is angered by Optimus's victories against him and continued defiance, screaming to the Autobots that he is never defied, Megatron bombards the surface of Cybertron with a powerful laser beam. The Autobot flyers, Jetfire, Silverbolt and Air Raid assault the cannon and manage to neutralize it. However, the gun is far more than it seems, as it transforms into a fearsome behemoth, Megatron's mightiest weapon: Trypticon.

Optimus and his men fight the abominable machine, destroying it, in an epic battle that provides a suitable climax to the War for Cybertron. With the wreckage of the beast at his feet, Optimus Prime oversees the evacuation of his people, it now seems that the Transformers will be a race without a homeland for millions of years. Nevertheless, the new Prime remains steadfast, vowing to forever fight his arch-nemesis, and oversees the construction of the Ark, which will bear them to the stars with their brethren. And with that, the War for Cybertron ends, with Autobots victorious. But as Prime himself remembers, it was at a great cost.
