Brain Center


 * Brain Center is a component of Autobot leader Optimus Prime in Generation 1 continuity family.



In robot mode, Optimus Prime splits into three components:
 * A sentient robot module, the Brain Center.
 * A wheeled drone module known as Roller.
 * A Combat Deck.

Although Optimus Prime can function as three independent modules, injury to any one module is felt by the other two.

Prime's original character description, as seen in the Transformers Universe comic and the series bible, named the robot module "Optimus" and the drone module "Prime", noting that the Prime module is also known as Roller. However, in practice, these names were never used. The robot module was always treated as if named "Optimus Prime", with "Prime" even being his most common nickname.

Fiction
In practice, what Optimus Prime's original Tech Spec called the Brain Center was treated as Optimus Prime himself, with the other two modules making cameo appearances from time to time.
