'''Optimus Prime''' is a stern and serious commander, devoted to protecting freedom and innocent life. He has seen the galactic path of conquest and destruction already burned by [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and swears it will not include [[Earth]]. Optimus Prime often finds himself in the role of "straight man" to the more comic stylings of the other Autobots and [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] and tends to treat their humorous exaggerations or personality quirks as statements of straightforward fact. His subordinates view him as a great leader, if stubborn, and much too prone to long speeches. Optimus Prime's greatest weakness is his sense of nobility. If an adversary claims to have had a change of heart and discovered inner goodness, Prime will fall for it every single time.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Neil Kaplan]] (English), [[Satoshi Hashimoto]] (Japanese), [[Guilherme Briggs]] (Portuguese)

−

Optimus Prime was created, along with [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]], by [[Alpha Trion (RID)|Alpha Trion]]. The two of them were raised together, and thus, saw each other as brothers. However, this relationship was torn apart after the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars]], after which the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] chose Optimus Prime to command the Autobots in stopping the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]] leader [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] from ravaging the universe in his quest for energy. Ultra Magnus left Cybertron that same day, bitter and spiteful of his brother.

−

Prime soon struck up command on [[Earth]], where he took the form of a fire truck. Operating out of a secret base in [[Metro City]], he and his fellow Autobots were more than ready to face Megatron and his Predacons. The conflict began when Megatron appeared in New York, attempting to kidnap the famous scientist [[Doctor Onishi]]. Optimus struck up a friendship with Onishi's son, [[Koji Onishi|Koji]], and despite not being able to save the boy's father, vowed that he would help rescue him. {{storylink|Battle Protocol (episode)|Battle Protocol}}

−

In the events that followed, Prime was forced to deal with the Predacons' many energy-grabbing schemes, either personally, or indirectly by way of helping [[T-AI]] coordinate the movement of his troops by way of the [[space bridge|Global Space Bridge]].

−

However, Prime soon found another threat, in the form of the [[Decepticons]] - namely, one named [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]]. Scourge was a corrupted Autobot [[protoform]], who, in addition to being infused with Megatron's evil, scanned Optimus Prime and a tanker truck at the same time, resulting in his looking like a twisted clone of the Autobot leader. {{storylink|The Decepticons}} Prime hoped that Scourge and his fellow Decepticons would one day be restored to their true Autobot selves. Still, after the Decepticons themselves tried to use this to trick him, he decided he should not allow this to cloud his judgement. {{storylink|The Test (RID episode)|The Test}}

−

Matters escalated when Ultra Magnus appeared on Earth, making his desire to take the Matrix from Optimus Prime known to his "brother." Optimus refused to fight Magnus, and was thus mercilessly fired upon, until [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], and [[X-Brawn]] arrived to carry him away. Prime took refuge on a deserted island, but the Decepticons, Megatron, and Magnus all tracked him there. Amid the battle, Magnus forcibly activated their ability to combine into [[Omega Prime]], intending to use it to drain Prime of his energy so he could take the Matrix. Still, Optimus managed to take control and use their combination to stop the Decepticons. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion}} This fusion resulted in both Autobots sharing the Matrix's power, which led to Magnus's attitude softening towards his brother.

−

Eventually, it was revealed that Megatron's true purpose on Earth was to take control of the massive Autobot, [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. These events led to Megatron becoming the more powerful Galvatron, who eventually devastated the Autobot forces. In his final battle with the evil leader, Prime and Magnus combined into Omega Prime to face Galvatron at the Earth's core. They were seemingly no match for him, until Fortress Maximus sent them his power, which energized the Matrix, forming the giant weapon, the [[Matrix Blade]]. Galvatron was defeated, and with that, the Autobots' mission on Earth was finished, and Prime resolved to return to Cybertron. But not before "one last look around" with Koji and the rest of his team.

−

With the other Autobots all engaged in other fights around the world, Optimus Prime alone was available to answer TAI's battle protocol at an experimental nuclear generator in Arizona. His opening plan was to lure the Predacons and Decepticons away from the humans to battle them at a safe distance, but his wayward brother Ultra Magnus intervened, confronting the villains head on in the middle of the generator plant. As Prime chastised Magnus for his rash action, Scourge overheard and seized on the idea to threaten the humans if the Autobots didn't stand down. Despite his anger at Optimus, Ultra Magnus remembered his Autobot training and reluctantly laid down his weapon. At the proper moment, though, the brothers managed to attack a distracted Scourge and save the humans. The Predacons and Decepticons escaped with the generator, but the humans were safe.

During the final battle with the [[Minion of Unicron|Minions of Unicron]] in the [[Pit]], Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus (as Omega Prime) were fighting alongside the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]] when the corrupt pocket universe began to collapse around them. Omega Prime and the others fled through a dimensional portal, but the powerlinxed brothers were diverted by the former [[Mini-Con]] [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] into another reality, just in time to stop [[Nemesis Prime (Universe 2003)|Nemesis Prime]] from unleashing the [[Dead Matrix]] inside the Spark Chamber of [[Primus]]. The evil clone was vanquished, and the brothers hooked up with [[Sentinel Maximus]] and his comrades as they attempted to fortify Cybertron against the [[Unicron Singularity]].

−

Working relatively behind the scenes while that reality's [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and his crew searched for the [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Planet Keys]], Optimus Prime and his brother found themselves moderating an internal dispute among the Mini-Con colonies in Cybertron's debris field, and were engaged with a Cybertronian-sized version of [[Unicron]] himself when Primus first transformed due to an infusion of Cyber Key Power. Some months later, after the final battle with the Cyber Key empowered [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], Optimus Prime first met his local counterpart, and they exchanged information on their endeavors over the last few months. With the newly reformed Unicron on the loose after their last encounter, Optimus chose to join Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Maximus in hunting him down. The final fate of their mission, and whether the brothers ever returned to their home reality, remains to be seen.

[[Image:RID_Optimus_Prime_toy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|BURNING JUSTICE]]

−

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Super, 2000, 2001)

−

**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-001'''

−

**''Accessories'': Pistol, 4 missiles

−

: ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime transforms into a Japanese Hino Brandlier fire truck. Harkening back to Generation One toys, he features chromed wheels with rubber tires. The forward section of his truck detaches to become his standard robot mode. His 'trailer' can be reconfigured into a sort of battle station. The station can then be disassembled and attached around the robot to form his '''Battle Mode'''. His standard robot can combine with [[Ultra_Magnus_(RID)|Ultra Magnus]] to form '''Omega Prime'''.

−

: The original [[Takara]] ''Car Robots'' release differs from the [[Hasbro]] version in that it has a darker, metallic-flake plastic, and has no Autobot symbols tampo-printed on the shoulder pads. Obviously, the voice clips used for the Japanese toy are also different, although the English clips are essentially translations of the Japanese ones (with the Hasbro toy proclaiming that Optimus Prime's transformation into super mode uses the code-phrase "maximize"). Additionally, the Hasbro version has the unfortunate tendency for its rubber tires to split down its molding connection. Furthermore, Fire Convoy's missiles are of a different mold on the Japanese toy. The toy’s ladder features a trigger that flips all four of his missile launchers forward into firing position when pressed. On Fire Convoy, pressing this trigger causes all four missiles to immediately launch (if by "launch" you mean "be-flung-up-into-the-air-and-fall-to-the-ground-instantly") when they flip forward, whereas the Hasbro toy removes the auto-fire feature, allowing them to be launched one-at-a-time via individual triggers. Unchanged from the Takara release, the tires feature the original name "FIRE CONVOY" as apposed to "OPTIMUS PRIME".

−

: By some bizarre twist of fate, the standard robot mode has four [[Mini-Con]] ports on his arms ''before'' they were used in [[Armada]].

−

*'''Clear Super Fire Convoy''' (Super, 2000)

−

**''Accessories'': Pistol, 4 missiles

−

: Released in a Toys "R" Us Japanese-[[exclusive]] "God Fire Convoy" gift set with Clear God Magnus, Clear Super Fire Convoy is obviously constructed primarily of translucent plastic. The gift set also contained an exclusive God Sword item to be used for God Fire Convoy.

−

*'''Black Super Fire Convoy''' (Super, 2000)

−

**''Accessories'': Pistol, 4 missiles

−

: Black Super Fire Convoy was a [[Lucky Draw]] prize version of Super Fire Convoy. Aside from being... well, ''black'', the chromed chest plate is now gold with red "windows", and the sirens on his back are now clear.

−

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Basic, 2002)

−

[[Image:Spychanger_RIDPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Tiny BURNING JUSTICE]]

−

: This is a smaller, simplified version of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime made for the Spy Changer/Basic class in the ''Robots In Disguise'' toyline. It has no standard robot mode and parts do not detach. Oddly, all promotional images of this figure depicted it colored in ''orange''.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Supreme, 2003)

−

**''Accessories'': Pistol, 4 missiles

−

: A Sam's Club [[exclusive]], the ''[[Universe (franchise)|Universe]]'' release of ''Robots In Disguise'' Optimus Prime basically swapped out all of his red plastic for a yellow-orange color. He came packed in robot mode in an upright display package, which featured a sticker on the front with a hilariously mistransformed Omega Prime, advertising the toy's combining ability with the simultaneously-released, slightly-redecoed Sam's Club exclusive ''Universe'' release of ''Robots In Disguise'' Ultra Magnus.

−

: For some reason, the Autobot symbol on his chest in Battle Mode is left unpainted.

−

*'''Optimus Prime and Prowl''' (Basic, 2003)

−

[[Image:Universe_Spychanger_OptimusPrime_Prowl_toys.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Tiny LEMON-FLAVORED BURNING JUSTICE with donut chaser]]

−

: One of a half-dozen Wal-Mart exclusive ''Universe'' toys to hit in the span of a few short months in 2003, this version of Prime is a yellow [[redeco]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Spy Changer]] Prime (with an oddly-unpainted face), based on the Sam's Club version of the larger toy. He was only available in a Basic-pricepoint two-pack with [[Prowl (Spy Changer)|Prowl]].

−

:This toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] as an [[Optimus Prime (Universe Spy Changer)|alternate universe version of Optimus Prime]] by the [[OTFCC 2004 Live-Action Script Reading]].

−

* '''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)

−

**''Accessories'': Display stand, nameplate

−

[[Image:Titanium_RIDPrime.jpg|thumb|right|175px|METAL BURNING JUSTICE]]

−

: ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Optimus is a six-inch tall [[die-cast]] metal and plastic version of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime. In-vehicle mode, the ladder rotates at its base, and the nozzles flip out of the end of the ladder, but the ladder cannot extend. As he is much simplified compared to the larger toy, the (largely hollow) front of the vehicle cannot separate and form the standard robot mode, nor can the rear of the vehicle form the battle station. Instead, the entire fire truck transforms into a simplified version of the super robot Battle Mode.

[[Image:Optimusprime rid.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Optimus Prime]]

−

* For this incarnation of Optimus, voice actor [[Neil Kaplan]] specifically impersonated the voice of the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Peter Cullen]]. ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime is one of the few Optimuses (two as of 2009) whose English voice actor isn't Cullen or [[Gary Chalk]]. At conventions, Kaplan refers to himself as "the [[Wikipedia:George Lazenby|George Lazenby]] of Optimus Primes".<ref>This would presumably make [[David Kaye]] the [[Wikipedia:Daniel Craig|Daniel Craig]] of Optimus Primes.</ref>

−

* ''Cybertron'' "Multi-Pack" Optimus Prime's on-package [[bio]] seems to indicate he's ''Unicron Trilogy'' Optimus Prime. However, his (and Magnus') deco was later used in the [[Fun Publications]] ''Cybertron'' fan club magazine comic as ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime having traveled to the ''Unicron Trilogy'' universe.

−

* Persistent net rumors abound about early or supplemental Japanese material establishing Optimus and his Autobots being part of a "Dimensional Patrol" that follows the Predacons either back in time or from another universe. This is not supported in-show and no solid evidence supporting it has ever surfaced elsewhere.... except in the [[3H]] supplemental materials, which established the "Dimensional Patrol" as a ''post''-cartoon organization.

−

* Fans in Japan joke that Optimus Prime is an Autobot [[Emperor of Destruction]] rather than an Autobot [[Supreme Commander]], due to his actions in the ''Car Robot'' anime.

−

* Optimus Prime's Super Mode chest resembles the chest of EnRyu from ''[[Brave|King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]'', another Takara series. EnRyu also transforms into a fire truck.

−

* This is the first (and, as of 2009, the only) incarnation of Optimus to not [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|get killed off]] at any point during his series. Possibly due to the fact that he is not intended to be a counterpart of [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]]s in the original ''Car Robot'' series.

At conventions, Kaplan refers to himself as "the [[Wikipedia:George Lazenby|George Lazenby]] of Optimus Primes".<ref>This would presumably make [[David Kaye]] the [[Wikipedia:Daniel Craig|Daniel Craig]] of Optimus Primes.</ref>
-* ''Cybertron'' "Multi-Pack"  Optimus Prime's on-package [[bio]] seems to indicate he's ''Unicron Trilogy'' Optimus Prime.  However, his (and Magnus') deco was later used in the [[Fun Publications]] ''Cybertron'' fan club magazine comic as ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime having traveled to the ''Unicron Trilogy'' universe.
-* Persistent net rumors abound about early or supplemental Japanese material establishing Optimus and his Autobots being part of a "Dimensional Patrol" that follows the Predacons either back in time or from another universe.  This is not supported in-show and no solid evidence supporting it has ever surfaced elsewhere.... except in the [[3H]] supplemental materials, which established the "Dimensional Patrol" as a ''post''-cartoon organization.
-* Fans in Japan joke that Optimus Prime is an Autobot [[Emperor of Destruction]] rather than an Autobot [[Supreme Commander]], due to his actions in the ''Car Robot'' anime.
-* Optimus Prime's Super Mode chest resembles the chest of EnRyu from ''[[Brave|King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]'', another Takara series. EnRyu also transforms into a fire truck.
-* This is the first (and, as of 2009, the only) incarnation of Optimus to not [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|get killed off]] at any point during his series. Possibly due to the fact that he is not intended to be a counterpart of [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]]s in the original ''Car Robot'' series.
