''Optimus Minor is a [[Maximal]] in the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity''

'''Optimus Minor''' is an upbeat and lively warrior. He has a tendency to make jokes even when the situation is rather grim and to not always think things through in advance, but he's always up for a mission, even when the odds of success (or even survival) are low. Sounds like fun.

==Fiction==
===Beast Wars===
====Toy Bio====
A result of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s cloning experiments, Optimus Minor possesses many traits commonly attributed to monkeys: agility, speed, intelligence, and a superior ability to climb stuff. His animal instincts serve him well in battle, where he is a savage fighter. However, like many Transmetal 2's he has rage issues and trouble controlling the resulting violent urges.

''('''Note''': In the toy bios all Transmetal 2s are presented as being the results of Megatron's cloning experaments. However neither the Cartoon nor the IDW Comics have limited them to this origin. IDW Minor does not result from cloning experiments nor does he apparently experience TM2 rage.)''

====''[[Dreamwave Summer Special]]''====
On their way back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after the conclusion of the Beast Wars, [[Rattrap]] has a dream:

Optimus Minor, [[Bonecrusher (BW)|Bonecrusher]], and [[Wolfang]] rescue Rattrap from [[Dinobot 2]]. Minor says that they cannot return with Rattrap. Although they were "once" Maximals, they now have a purpose which does not include fighting.

''('''Note''': This story was part of the ''Dreamwave Summer Special''. Readers got to vote, using a ballot in this issue, whether the next comic series would be Beast Wars or [[Robots in Disguise]]. Beast Wars won, but Dreamwave went bankrupt before the series was published. Also, this is a seperate continuity from IDW's ''Beast Wars'' comic.)''

====''[[The Gathering]]''====
[[Razorbeast]] was ordered by [[Magmatron]] to wake the remaining Axalon stasis pods on prehistoric Earth as [[Predacons]]. Thankfully for Optimus Minor, Razorbeast was working undercover, and inserted a viral code into the protoform-awakening process. This virus caused many of the protoforms to retain their Maximal status. This included Optimus Minor, who was among the first to join up with Razorbeast. Razorbeast and Minor were responsible for fouling Magmatron's attempt to send [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] back to the [[Tripredacus Council]]. Instead, Magmatron himself was sent back. The Maximals had thwarted Magmatron's plans to conquer Cybertron, but they were now stranded on ancient Earth.

*'''Optimus Minor''' (Basic, 1998)
:Transforms into a [[Transmetal 2]] monkey by changing his legs into arms, and his arms become legs. In robot mode his tail becomes a whip, grabbed by a pin in his right arm. The only con is that the arms in the transformation from monkey to robot divides and looks like Minor is a four-armed monkey, with some ressemblances of Tarantulas or Blackaranha
