| | '''The Brain Center''' is the Optimus Prime part of Optimus Prime. It has nothing to do with anyone named Brian. |
| :''Brain Center is a component of [[Autobot]] leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

| When Optimus Prime transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode, he splits into three components:
| |
|
| |
|
| *A sentient humanoid robot module, called the '''Brain Center''' or '''the Commander'''.<ref name="g2uk1">Profile in [[War Without End (issue)|issue #1]] of the [[Generation 2 (Fleetway comic)|UK ''Generation 2'' comic]].</ref>
| |
| *A wheeled drone module known as [[Roller]], also once called "Scout Car".<ref name="g2uk1" />
| |
| *A [[Combat Deck]], also once called "Autobot Headquarters".<ref name="g2uk1" />
| |
|
| |
|
| It is the humanoid robot module, or Brain Center, that houses Optimus Prime's higher functions, personality, and [[spark]]. It is the Brain Center that controls the other two modules by remote.
| |
|
| |
|
| Prime's original character description as seen in the [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|''Transformers Universe'']] comic and the [[production bible]], named the Brain Center "Optimus" and the drone module "Prime", noting that the Prime module is also known as Roller.

|
| When Optimus Prime was rebuilt for the first time into a [[Powermaster]], his three component aspect was retained in his new body.<ref>[http://www.ntfa.net/universe/english/index.php?act=view&char=Optimus_Prime_PM Powermaster Optimus Prime's ''Universe'' bio]</ref> (Despite this, Roller was never seen while Optimus Prime was a Powermaster. Once he reverted to his original body during G2, Roller returned.)

| |
| In actual practice, however, the humanoid robot was always known as "Optimus Prime", with "Prime" being the most common nickname. The Brain Center is treated like it ''is'' Optimus Prime, with the other two modules usually disappearing from the scene as Optimus Prime transforms from vehicle mode and the humanoid robot going about the business of being Autobot Commander.
