In “Endgame” Optimus Prime receives the ultimate upgrade – a rocket pack! These jet engines allow Optimus to fly at high speeds to compete with Decepticons on their own ground, although as he is not a natural flyer Optimus is not as experienced in aerial combat as the Decepticons are. Optimus also possesses a retractable mouthplate/battle mask like several of the other Autobots for battle mode purposes. In the same episode, he also demonstrated an ability to track signals back to their origin. Optimus also exhibited an ability to tap into phone and radio signals in Return of the Headmaster, using an antenna built into his "ear piece". The rocket engine assists with swings to lend more power to attacks. The axe can transform from a small hatchet into a full sized battle axe, and the handle can extend even further to allow Optimus to pole vault when needed. The launchers can also shoot out bolas to tie up the legs of his opponents, fire retardant foam, and low friction gel. His main one are his arm mounted grappling hook launchers, which Optimus can use to swing through the air, or to reach things a distance away from him. Optimus Prime possesses a wide variety of skills and abilities. He transforms into a Cybertronian Cab-Over Truck, when arriving to Detroit on Earth, he adapts the vehicle mode of a crossover between a Semi-trailer and a fire truck.Īs a special kand of Prime of the Elite Guard, accuipped with blasters and blades, and wields a strong, rocket-propelled, extendable battle axe, as well as multiple arm mounted modifications, including grapple cables, fire extinguishers and bola-whip throwers During battle, he deplys a retractable faceplate.

He became a true hero - a being who does what he does not for glory and fame, but because no-one else can do it. He spent most of his time in space dreaming of glory, but it wasn't until he was first faced with the terrible decisions that inevitably come with leadership that he finally understood.

When Optimus Prime crashed to Earth with the rest of the Autobots, he didn't really know what it meant to be a hero. He is usually the first to join the fight and the last to leave it putting himself before any member of his team. He’s not the kind of leader who needs to bark orders to command respect. Unassuming, humble, friendly, and cheerful, Prime comes across as “The Bot Next Door.” He takes his mission and his men with the utmost seriousness, but is still able to relate to them as a regular guy. He’s a born leader, a natural tactician, a dedicated never-say-die fighter and a master of improvisation in the face of adversity. Optimus Prime is the commander of a ragtag and largely inexperienced group of Autobots. The 2nd oldest of the group (after Ratchet).
