Should probably replace this with a pic of his supermode for consistency... |
Confused why this note is here when it's about a toy this character doesn't even use? |

- Optimus Prime is an Autobot Spychanger from the Robots in Disguise continuity family (via the 2003 Universe line).
Optimus Prime is a legendary Autobot leader and hero. Though her splendid yellow armor sets her apart from others of her archetype across the multiverse, she is as dedicated and honorable as any of her red-clad counterparts, unafraid to make difficult choices like downsizing herself and her troops into Spychangers to conserve power. She does, however have one unusual quirk—she never calls out her attacks in a dramatic fashion before using them. Weird, right?

These stranded Autobots were targeted for 'recruitment' by Reptilion but rescued by the Children of Primus.

[edit]
- Optimus Prime and Prowl (Basic Class two-pack, 2003)
- One of a half-dozen Wal-Mart exclusive Universe toys to hit in the span of a few short months in 2003, this version of Prime is a yellow redeco of the Robots in Disguise Basic Class Optimus Prime (with an oddly-unpainted face), based on the Sam's Club version of the larger toy. Prime was only available in a Basic-pricepoint two-pack with Prowl.
Notes
[edit]- Michelle Carolus voiced Optimus at the OTFCC 2004 stage play, which was made into a joke as Prowl found himself 'distracted' by it even though Optimus was apparently male. Ask Vector Prime retconned this in 2015 and said this was an Optimus Prime who just happened to be female (this also established the Spychanger Scourge as female too, due to Scourge being partially based on a scan of Optimus Prime).
- In the OTFCC script, she was designated "Optimus Prime (Micro)". With no stated universe of origin, being released in a franchise that wasn't tied to a reality, and questioning one of Robots in Disguise's tropes, it's likely that she wasn't intended to be a Robots in Disguise Prime... but it never explicitly said she wasn't, and so Ask Vector Prime established her to be from a divergent version of the Robots in Disguise setting.
- This Optimus Prime would likely go on to inspire the creation of Yellow Splendid Convoy.
