"No sacrifice is too great in the service of freedom."
- Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime, also known as Convoy or Orion Pax, is the leader of the Autobots. The Autobots are Transformers, a robotic alien race from the planet Cybertron that can take on the appearance of vehicles such as cars and trucks.

Optimus has a strong sense of justice and cares not only about the Autobots but about his human companions as well. A frequent enemy is Prime's former friend, Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons.

Prime's most common disguise is that of a semi-truck. On Earth, this allows Prime to keep his alien identity secret from human onlookers, especially while traveling. Prime has been to Earth plenty of times during his long career. Since the release of the Transformers toy line in 1984, Optimus has appeared in more than 20 television series and at least seven feature films.
