Profile: If he had been on Earth, he would be a doctor, a mechanic, a
scientist and a warrior. But on Cybertron there is no difference between
these professions. So Optimus uses his skills to heal and repair - which are
the same things to Autobots - to improve the world around him and, if
necessary, to fight. Both in power and intelligence, he has no equal. He has
the personality of an Abraham Lincoln. He can be immensely kind and his
compassion extends to all that lives, including the creatures of Earth. Yet
he will battle unceasingly to protect the weak and defend what he believes
in. To accomplish this, Optimus knows that the Decepticons must be defeated
for all time.
Abilities: In robot mode, Optimus Prime actually splits into three
components. The Optimus module is the robotic sentient being that is the
storehouse of his vast knowledge and strength. He can lift 4000,000 lbs. and
a blow from his fist exerts a force of 12,000 lbs. per sq. inch. He carries
a laser rifle and can burn a hole in the nosecone of a Decepticon jet
fighter at a distance of 30 miles, aided by his outstanding visual acuity.
His Prime module, also known as Roller, is a small cart-shaped device that
he uses to unobtrusively slip behind enemy lines. He can maintain radio
control over it at distances up to 1200 miles. Having Roller present
somewhere is like being there himself. He can operate by remote-control his
Combat Deck module up to a distance of 1500 feet. The Auto-Launcher mounted
on the Deck can use a variety of artillery and radiation beam weapons,
including most of those used by his fellow Autobots. The Launcher also
includes a highly dexterous grapple-arm which allows it to load itself and
change its weaponry. The communications disk antenna mounted on the launcher
provides a link between Optimus and all his fellow Autobots within a radius
of 50 miles. It can be adapted to a satellite hook-up that increases its
effective range 10-fold.
Weaknesses: Although Optimus Prime can function as three independent
modules, injury to any one of the modules is felt by the other two. Roller
is particularly vulnerable, especially in the behind-the-lines situations in
which he specializes. However, the Optimus module is by far the most
important component of the trio. Although he could survive without the other
two, they could not survive without him. Otherwise, the only weakness he
could be accused of having is being too compassionate and concerned about
the safety of others. He would be a more effective military commander if he
were more ruthless, but then he wouldn't be Optimus Prime. |
