Optimus Prime - Wikipedia

Autobot Leader, Supreme Commander/Ultimate Supreme Commander/Super Ultimate Supreme Commander/High-speed Mobile Supreme CommanderAn Orion Pax/Optronix-appearance Optimus is fighting a small Decepticon group, trying to get word to Zeta Prime. He meets Blurr, and gives him a pep-talk, taking the speedster out of his denial and resulting in his joining of the Autobot cause. Spotlight: Blurr Optimus does not have a faceplate - these faceplates probably seem to be a sign of Prime status, because Sentinel Prime and Nova Prime both have them. Through the years, there have been many action figures made in the likeness of the original incarnation of Optimus Prime, some of which have been featured in fiction, others of which have not. Additionally, some toy makers have made unlicensed toys in his image or accessories for the existing toys. The original 1984 Optimus Prime toy was part of Takara's 1983 Diaclone toy line named "Battle Convoy". It was designed by the creative design team of Hiroyuki Obara, Shoji Kawamori, famous for his work in Macross, and Kohjin Ohno. [27] The toy's characteristics, such as the head design and the use of the cab front as the upper torso, have become design elements in nearly every incarnation and variant of Optimus Prime. This particular toy has been reissued multiple times, mostly to commemorate the anniversary of the Transformers franchise. Optimus Prime was also released as an Action Master and Powermaster toy in the original Transformers toy line.

In the Transformers mythology, Optimus Prime is a Cybertronian, an extraterrestrial species of sentient self-configuring modular robotic lifeforms (e.g.: cars and other objects), a synergistic blend of biological evolution and technological engineering. In almost every version of the mythos, Optimus is the leader of the Autobots, a faction of Transformers who are rivals of the Decepticons, another faction. He is defined by his strong moral character and is almost always portrayed as the primary hero of the story, opposing the Decepticon leader Megatron. Spychanger Optimus Prime - was basically a miniature (Spychanger-sized) version of Super Optimus Prime. I seem to be in the vast minority here: I LOVE Transformers (I grew up with G1) and I obviously love Lego, but this just looks really off to me." If you view LEGO as just a bunch of plastic, you can do much better for your money elsewhere. You can even collect a bunch of plastic from the trash or recycling bins for nothing." Over the months that followed, Optimus and Marissa battled Legions, led Legions (due to the Galvatron-infused cells inside Optimus's new body, which sometimes overcame him with nightmares about his old enemy Megatron), fled from Hot Rod, who believed Optimus to be an impersonator of his dead commander, and both fought and fled from the E.D.C.Gobots Optimus Prime - was a dinky little red car. The name 'Gobots' sounds familar to many of us old-school collectors because it was a competing toy line that ultimately fell victim to the popularity of the Transformers. The fact that Hasbro used 'Gobots' as a subgroup name has long been rumored to be a form of corporate gloating. The Gobots molds were later used in the Spychangers subgroup of the Robots in Disguise (RiD) toy line. Optimus Prime was blasted into pieces by Transmetal 2 Megatron. Fortunately, his Spark remain perfectly intact — in the remains of his Matrix-shaped Spark Chamber. Megatron was going to destroy Optimus's Spark, but Cheetor (in his Transmetal body) saved it. Optimus Prime's Spark was eventually swallowed by Optimus Primal, who was upgraded into Optimal Optimus by doing so. Various interesting subjects have inspired LEGO models and yielded some decidedly unexpected partnerships. 10302 Optimus Prime presents an incredible example, since developing this heroic Transformer involved collaboration with Hasbro and Takara Tomy!
