The Origins of Optimus Prime 🔧
Before becoming the legendary leader of the Autobots, he was Orion Pax , a peaceful archivist on Cybertron . Curious and idealistic, Orion dreamed of a harmonious world where Transformers would live in peace. But the war waged by Megatron and the Decepticons changed his destiny.
Recognizing his potential, the Prime Guardians entrusted him with the Matrix of Command , a sacred artifact symbolizing supreme leadership. Thus, Orion Pax became Optimus Prime —the defender of freedom and bearer of the wisdom of the ancients.
