Optimus Primal

Optimus Primal had the burden of leadership unexpectedly thrust upon him when Unicron attacked his homeworld. He and a handful of Maximals successfully evacuated their doomed planet and used the Transwarp Key to flee across time and space, a journey that led them to ancient Earth. Since arriving in the jungles of Peru, Optimus and the last remaining Maximals have spent millennia awaiting the day when they would one day battle Unicron and his many minions once more. While the recently arrived Autobots disguise themselves from prying human eyes, Primal has walked among the tribes of South America for many thousands of years, and in that time has come to regard humans as trustworthy friends and capable allies. Primal has sacrificed much, and seen enough tragedy to compel a gentle, resolute wisdom—sometimes, the better part of wisdom is knowing when to make heroic speeches, and when to use your twin swords and powerful beast mode to protect the innocent.
