Due to the greed of Ultra Magnus, Optimus Prime was forced into a combination with his brother. Ultra Magnus merely wanted the power of the Matrix for himself, thinking that a combination would let him access that power. The result of their combination is Omega Prime, a seemingly unique individual bringing out the best of each brothers' abilities but not hampered by their disagreements. A true combiner rather than a mere super mode, Omega Prime possesses neither Magnus's temper nor Optimus's reserve. He is a jocular superman with all the power to back up his quips, limited only by the capacity of the two brothers to cease bickering inside his head long enough to push in the same direction.
More powerful than the sum of his component parts, Omega Prime's importance in the fight against evil cannot be over-estimated, stretching beyond even his own universe.
He's also got a really big sword.
Convalescing on an island after a brutal fight with Ultra Magnus, Optimus was attacked by Megatron and the Decepticons. Ultra Magnus showed after having followed Sky-Byte via a hidden tracking device. Feigning compassion and understanding his brother's heavy burden in carrying the Matrix, Ultra Magnus pretended to offer Prime his helping hand, only to seize it and force the two of them to combine. What he didn't expect, though, was that Optimus had as much control over their new body as Magnus did. His plan to steal the power of the Matrix backfired and he had to cooperate with Prime to defeat the Decepticons. Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!
