“	Until that day… till all are one.	„
	~ Optimus Prime's dying words

Summary

Optimus Prime is the strong and courageous Autobot leader who feels his role is the protection of all life, including Earth-life. He fights unceasingly to defeat the Decepticons, though not without honor. Optimus values peace over chaos, and life over destruction, often using words before weapons. Many have remarked that if he was more ruthless, he would be a better military leader. But if he was more ruthless, he wouldn't be Optimus Prime.

• Matrix of Leadership

The Autobot Matrix of Leadership is an artifact of great power, traditionally carried by the leader of the Autobots. It appears as a glowing crystal sphere encased within a hollow metal shell, with a handle on either side.

It serves as a means of access to the Transformer afterlife, through which it can either bestow new Transformer life, or provide its wielder with a means of communicating with the deceased leaders who have come before them. These divine powers put it at the centre of much Autobot religion, spirituality, and prophecy; while many Decepticons are less inclined to believe in its divinity, they certainly covet the increased physical power it is known to convey upon its holders, and several have made obtaining the Matrix one of their primary goals. As one of the embodiments of the power of Primus, the Matrix is antithesis to Unicron, and one of the very few things the chaos-bringer fears.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Wisdom of the Matrix Optimus once transported his consciousness into the Matrix of Leadership, seeking a way to destroy the universe-spanning Hate Plague. He learns that, in a period of pre-Cybertronian history, the Plague has visited the planet before, but was contained and sealed inside a star, through sheer wisdom. Optimus then realizes that a source of raw wisdom may be available to destroy the infection once and for all: the accumulated wisdom within the Matrix of Leadership. Asking it to "light our darkest hour", Optimus Prime releases the energy of the Matrix of Leadership, which spreads across the world and across universe, and totally eradicates the Plague. More likely than not, this technique is not combat-applicable, due to the fact that Optimus must enter stasis each time he searches through the Matrix, rendering him completely open to any and all attacks in the case it was used during a fight. Furthermore, it is unknown what effect this may have on a being that is not affected by the Hate Plague, though it is reasonable to believe it would affect his opponent in some way.
