—Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime (born Orion Pax) is the main protagonist of the Transformers series. He appeared in the 98th episode of Death Battle, Optimus Prime VS Gundam, where he fought against Amuro Ray and the RX-78-2 Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam series.

He also appeared in the second episode of Death Race, Optimus Prime VS Thomas the Tank Engine?, where he raced against Harry Potter and Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series, Thomas the Tank Engine from the Thomas & Friends series, and Lightning McQueen from the Cars series.

History

Orion Pax was born on the technologically rich planet of Cybertron, where a civil war was brewing between the two factions of inhabitants: the Autobots and the Decepticons. During one of their many rampages, the Decepticons mercilessly gunned down the young Orion, who at the time was mere civilian dock-worker. But to his surprise, Orion was chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to be the Autobots' new commander. This would be the first in a number of heavy burdens he would be forced to bear, as he was reconstructed into the fearless Optimus Prime. Since then, Optimus has led the Autobots against the Decepticons, but their centuries-long conflict would soon spread to the planet Earth. Every casualty, human, or Cybertronian, weighs heavily on his spark, but he does not show this side to his soldiers, and he never succumbs to despair. The Autobots need a decisive, charismatic leader, and that is what he gives them. Optimus' compassion for other sentient beings is his only real weakness, and one the Decepticons have taken advantage of time and again... though it's also the source of his strength!
