Optimus Prime
| ID: |
optimus
|
| Class: |
Special
|
| Bio: |
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
|
| Bio (long): |
Committed, inspirational, selfless...
Optimus Prime is all these things and more, a born leader and idealistic to boot.
But what makes him a truly great leader is his own lack of hubris; his seeming inability to place his life, his worth, above any of his fellow Autobots, or in fact any other lifeform.
He believes, passionately, that freedom is the right of all sentient beings, and would gladly sacrifice himself to make that belief a reality.
|
| Desc (unused): |
As a Warrior Leader, targets defenses first. Optimus Prime is the stalwart leader of the Autobots. 'Til all are one!

When first unlocked:
[Soundbarrier] (pointing) Hey, Bashbreaker, the others sent me to meet you off the Space Bridge.
[Bashbreaker] Okay, not sure I need an escort, I’m a big – if little in stature – C.O.M.B.A.T. ‘bot an’ all. / But, hey, if you’re the welcome wagon, Soundbarrier, that’s all good with me.
[Soundbarrier] Nightstick said to get you settled in, show you the ropes. / Kind of Earth Wars-orientation.
[Bashbreaker] (clapping) Lead on. / But I should warn you, I like to make my presence felt. / Y’know those shy, retiring types… well, that’s not me.
[Soundbarrier] Okay, duly warned. / But I’m starting to suspect there may have been a degree of tactical thinking in deploying me.
[Bashbreaker] Izzat so? Y’know, suddenly I’m pining for a crowd.
[Nightstick] Heh. It’s safe to come out now. / Soundbarrier’s audio buffers should automatically kick in when Bashbreaker kicks off!
[Sawtooth] (victorious) Phew! / My receptors were ringing for a week the last time we teamed up.
[Tricerashot] You said it, Sawtooth... / Once he starts with those hammer blows, it’s duck and cover time.
[Stripes] Hey, where’d they get to? / Kinda lost sight of them there. You don’t suppose…
[Soundbarrier] Hey, thought we’d double back – make it a group gathering.
[Bashbreaker] (victorious) NIGHTSTICK, YO! / I AM READY TO ROCK THIS JOINT!
[Sawtooth] (victorious) Oh no! We’re the opposite of ready!
[Bashbreaker] (pumping fist) LOOK OUT, WORLD – AS OF NOW, BASHBREAKER IS PUMPIN’ UP THE VOLUME!

[Location: dam]
[Nosecone] And then there were four.
[Melody] Right you are, Nosecone, now Afterbreaker's here, you're only one shy of a full Technobot tally.
[Strafe] And who know what else, eh Afterbreaker?
[Afterbreaker] Listen, Strafe, not that I'm displeased to see you guys again, but gettin' dragged by the molecules halfway across the known galaxy / and glued back together again has not put me in the best of dispositions.
[Lightspeed] In other words, you got out the wrong side of the Space Bridge.
[Afterbreaker] Exactly, Lightspeed. / All it'll take is one officious jobsworth sub-commander barking orders at me... an' I'll blow like a badly tapped oil well!
[Melody] Ahem. / Speaking of whom...
[Prowl] Right, what you lot doing mooching around Autobase like a bunch of sullen protoforms? / I want you out on patrol. / Chop, chop!
[Afterbreaker] Grrr...
[Strafe] Um, Prowl, dial it back a notch, huh? / For your own sake.
[Prowl] Dial... it... back? / We didn't waste precious Space Bridge bandwidth bringing Afterbreaker here from Cybertron to sit on his thumbs. / Patrol. / Now.
[Afterbreaker] (pointing) That's it! / I've had it UP TO HERE! / If there's one thing guaranteed to get my gander up... it's protocol-pushers like you, Prowl! / Trans-FORM!
[Lightspeed] Afterbreaker, NO! / Not your flaming circle of doom attack!
[Melody] Oh dear... ahem, Security Detail to ops-tactical. / We have ah... a flare up, I suppose you could call it.
[Nosecone] And then there were three... again...

[Location: bridge]
[Offroad] By the Ben of Yee! / Flamewar? / Here?
[Flamewar] Why so surprised, Offroad? / I stand ever ready to serve the Decepticon cause, at any time... or place... of asking.
[Offroad] It's just, you're usually an undercover, black ops kinda 'con. / The Earth Wars are more... storm the barricades, I guess.
[Flamewar] Pah! / There's always room for clandestine combat. / Something, somewhere, needs sabotaging or spying on. / And there are always scores that need settling.
[Drag Strip] Right! / There's that thing, isn't there? / Between you and Arcee! / That you never talk about.
[Flamewar] She's on the list.
[Drag Strip] There's a list?
[Flamewar] Grudges... A-Z, Drag Strip.
[Barricade] Um, any Decepticons on that list?
[Flamewar] Several. / When it comes to payback... / I can very very patient. / Every slight, every casual slur, every sling or arrow tossed my way... it's all up here. / On the list.
[Barricade] Ulp.
[Flamewar] And speaking of arrows... each of the searing shafts I nock into my Sun-bow... has a name on it. / It was something of a frustration that some of my... targets... were here, on Earth. / But no more.
[Barricade] Right, well, must be going. / Lots t'do, y'know. / Laters.
[Flamewar] Word of advice, Barricade... watch your back.
