The '''Prime Force''' is a group of drones under the control of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]. They are kept in Optimus's [[trailer]] until Optimus calls upon them to go out on their own or to [[powerlinx]] with him to form a [[Super Mode]].

The Prime Force consists of:

* The fire truck '''Fire-1'''
* The helicopter '''Copter-2'''
* The drill tank '''Digger-3'''
* The submarine '''Submarine-4'''

Optimus Prime deployed the Prime Force to defend [[Ocean City]] from [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]]s. They worked independently for a while before Optimus powerlinxed with them. They destroyed many enemies. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

Later, Optimus Prime powerlinxed with the Prime Force in a battle against [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]]. As Optimus ran low on [[energon (Energon)|energon]], he launched the Prime Force at Scorponok. Scorponok trashed them with [[Energon Sword|Megatron's sword]]. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

[[Rad White]] and [[Brian Jones (Energon)|Brian Jones]] repaired and upgraded the Prime Force in their lab. {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}}

[[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] lured Optimus Prime to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] for a battle. Super Mode Optimus launched Copter-2 at Starscream, but Starscream soon obliterated it. Optimus was left to fight with one arm for a while until launching the remaining three drones. Starscream easily dispatched them as well. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}}

The Prime Force returned (without explanation) and powerlinxed with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}}

Super Mode Optimus launched Copter-2 to keep an eye on Kicker. Copter-2 rescued Kicker from an energy wave. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}}

Optimus Prime used Copter-2 to make an aerial survey of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}}

Inside [[Unicron]], Optimus and his team of Autobots were pinned down on their way to confront Megatron. Optimus launched Copter-2 to scout ahead, but the drone quickly took a hit and was taken out of action. The Autobots, including the remaining drones, transformed into vehicle modes and headed deeper into Unicron. The Autobots were stopped by a huge crevasse until Megatron used the power of Unicron to create a staircase and challenge Optimus to face him. As he started up the stairs, super mode Optimus Prime was ambushed by [[Shockblast (Energon)|Shockblast]], who blasted Fire-1 and Submarine-4 to pieces. The Autobots had no choice but to leave the injured Optimus Prime behind until his [[energon star]] healed his wounds. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} When he was ready, Optimus Prime reverted to normal mode, leaving the remains of the Prime Force behind. He soon met up with [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]], who served as his new power-up. Later, after a confrontation with Megatron, the Autobots retreated from Unicron, presumably leaving the Prime Force inside. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

Much later, [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] and a team of Autobots were on Cybetron looking for his family when he got word that Optimus Prime was hurt and in trouble. He sent [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] to an industrial complex to pick up something to help Optimus.

Optimus Prime and Wing Saber were pinned down by [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] and some of his Decepticons when the Prime force appeared and attacked. Omega Supreme had brought them as reinforcements. Optimus Prime seemed surprised to see them. Optimus Prime Powerlinked with them to form his Super Mode. After fighting for a while, he disengaged from the Prime Force to Powerlinx with Wing Saber. Optimus Prime then used the Prime Force in "Meteor Attack Mode" which involved using the Prime Force to blast Galvatron with beams of energy. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}}

While a [[Unicron]]-enhanced Optimus Prime was fighting a Unicron-enhanced Galvatron, Omega Supreme and the Prime Force appeared out of nowhere to powerlink with Optimus Prime. He used the Prime Force to perform a "trans-final impact attack", which involved shooting the energized Prime Force at Galvatron. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

: The Prime Force was included with ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Optimus's first toy.

: Optimus' trailer is designed to carry his four drone-vehicles (the "Grand Force" in Japan): '''Fire-1''' (fire truck), '''Copter-2''' (helicopter), '''Digger-3''' (drill tank with gear-wheel-activated spinning drill), and '''Submarine-4''' (submarine). Each of these drones can attach to one of Optimus's limbs to form a variety of super modes (a combination the Japanese line dubbed "Grand Cross"). The base robot can also combine with ''Energon'' [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] to form '''"Optimus Prime Fight Mode"''' and '''"Optimus Prime Flight Mode"''', and [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] to form '''"Optimus Supreme"''' (or '''"Powerlinx Omega Supreme"''', according to the toy packaging). The Omega Supreme combination can also employ the drone-units.
