Name: Optimus Prime
From: Transformers Animated
Appearance:
Age: Somewhere in his twenties....in Autobot years.
Gender: Male
Personality:
Optimus likes to believe that the situation can get better if enough time and effort is put into it. In fact, his optimism is why he received the name Optimus to begin with. He takes any job very seriously, no matter how lowly that job may appear to others like Sentinel Prime. He knows that he has messed up in the past, and tries very hard to avoid making any such mistakes over again. Leading a space-bridge repair crew was a far cry from what he was expecting as a young bot, but someone has to do it, and Optimus doesn’t resenttoo much that he’s that someone. He possess a very kind nature and he enjoys helping out others in need when he can. He likes being one of Detroit’s “semi-official” hero not so much for the glory (though that does have a part in it) but because helping people is part of his programming.
Optimus is a natural born leader and most other bots recognize this, even Ultra Magnus when Optimus was still going to the Academy. He’s well aware that he’s no match for most Decepticons that they come across, and attempts to use his team’s skills the best he can. When fighting Decepticons, he prefers not to strike head on, instead he tries to perform a sneak attack from behind with his axe. Although he is a very patient person, he is certainly not without his limits. Sometimes his team frustrates him with their tendency to disobey orders and sneak off like a bunch of teen-bots.
Being rather young, for an Autobot, Optimus is still rather naive and idealistic when it comes to... well a lot of things. The entirety of his field experience comes almost completely from his time on Earth defending Detroit from Decepticons and human criminals.. In theory he knows what to do in most situations, but sometimes theories don’t work when put into practice. Despite his attitude, Optimus does not have the highest self-confidence one can have. He often second-guesses his decisions and sometimes even questions his own leadership abilities. Being told by Utlra Magnus himself that Optimus doesn’t have being a hero in his programming doesn’t help with anything.
Backstory: Once upon a time Optimus was a star student in the Autobot Academy, and was almost guaranteed a place in the Elite Guard due to his skill and leadership abilities. One day Sentinel convinced Optimus and their friend Elita-1 to travel to an organic planet in search for a downed Decepticon ship with energon in its cargo. Organic worlds are forbidden to Autobots, so them going there was highly illegal, something Optimus knew but he went along with it anyway. Someone had to keep an eye on them after all.
Things went well... until the three of them fell into a deep cavern filled with giant spiders. They quickly realized while fighting them that they were way over their heads and tried to retreat, Optimus becoming separated from the others in the progress. Being the lucky bot he was, Optimus found the energon that they had originally come to the planet for and was found by Elita-1 not long after. The two of them were attacked by giant spiders, so Optimus decided to cause a few energon cubes to blow up so that they could escape. Optimus was able to get out safetly, but Elita-1 fell back into the pit of spiders. Knowing that he could not save her, Optimus grabbed Sentinel and dragged him away from the ship as it exploded, leaving them both being unable to locate her signal and they assumed that she was dead.
When they returned to Cybertron, they were brought before Ultra Magnus, and Optimus took all the blame for both what happened to Elita-1 and for being on the planet to begin with. Rather than booting Optimus off the force all together, Ultra Magnus gave Optimus the Prime title and allowed him to command a ship and crew of his own. He just didn’t mention right away that it would be a inexperienced repair crew.
Somewhat resigned to his fate to never become a true hero, Optimus spent the next few stellar cycles repairing space bridges and knocking away rocks from them. It was a complete surprise to him and his crew when they stumbled across the AllSpark, a powerful item that was one of the three main things that had helped the Autobots win the war for Cybertron. Not long after this particular discovery, they ran into Megatron, the feared Decepticon leader himself. Their fight over the AllSpark took them into Earths atmosphere, and caused all of them to crash land. Megatron's head ended up practically in the backyard of Isaac Sumdac, while the Autobots ended up at the bottom of Lake Eerie for fifty years.
Moral Standing: Good
Dreams: Of becoming someone Cybertron can depend on. Keeping his team and Earth safe from danger.
Fears:Spiders Failing his team and Cybertron.
