Optimus Prime is a hero in every single sense of the word. Believing that freedom is a right belonging to any and all sentient beings, Optimus is the mythic leader of the Autobot forces, a figure so awe inspiring that all his subordinates (and even his enemies) regard him with respect. Thoughtful of others, and a skilled warrior in his own right, Optimus isn't one for humor or fun, but rather a serious and stoic commander who always carries a level head on his shoulders.
