Optimus is a kind and gentle leader, he fights with honor and respect. He may never hurt a worker or anyone innocent. As killing someone harmless is a tragedy. While outside of combat Optimus is well known for his leadership skills and kindness, in combat hes someone who should be feared greatly due to his fierceness in battle. He wishes for some Decepticons to change and believes in redemption. But often times, he has to kill them as there is no choice.
Optimus is worthy of being a Prime.
