Optimus would sacrifice his life to protect his fellow Autobots or those under his care, and has on a few occasions. He is easily the strongest of any Autobot his size, and what he lacks in raw firepower he easily augments with selflessness and bravery. His ion blaster and his energon-axe are deadly weapons, though sometimes lacking when compared to others. On the battlefield, there are few who can rival Optimus Prime's prowess. His ability to lead is a pivotal weapon in itself, so much so that it helped to turn the tide in the early years of the Great War in favor of the Autobots. In an attempt to bring peace to the galaxy, the Autobots require a strong, charismatic leader who can lead from the front, and by example, which are some of the most prominent characteristics of Optimus Prime. He believes that "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", and has fought for thousands of years against the bellicose Decepticons. He does not openly display these emotions to his fellow Autobots however, and sometimes nearly succumbs to despair. He is the complete moral opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron every casualty, human or Cybertronian, soldier or civilian, weighs heavily on his spark. Originally a working-class civilian, he was chosen by the Matrix to command the Autobots, which was merely the first of a number of burdens he would be forced to bear - another being his unintentional relocation of the Transformers' age-old conflict to Earth. 76 Optimus Prime is the awe inspiring, powerful and compassionate leader of the Autobot forces.
