Optimus Prime (Kre-O)
| The name or term "Optimus Prime" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Optimus Prime (disambiguation). |
Optimus Prime doesn't take any guff and doesn't cotton to any of the foolishness some of the other Kreons delight in. By keeping some of the biggest troublemakers occupied with missions, he can devote himself fully to his job—protecting brick-based lifeforms from tyranny. One day he hopes to follow his predecessor into retirement, where he plans to waste the days away in vehicle mode, possibly fondly remembering his younger days.
He defends Kreopolis.
Fiction
Optimus and Bumblebee fought in a tag battle against Megatron. He shot Megatron and disintegrated him into a pile of tiny bricks. However Megatron quickly rebuilt himself and tagged in his partner, Starscream. Last Bot Standing Optimus later took part in some sort of robot dance competition. Bot Stars
Games

The Autobots' peaceful day in Kreopolis was shattered when the city was bombarded by the Decepticons, and Optimus Prime and his men were shattered into their component blocks.

Toys
Kre-O
- Optimus Prime w/ Optimus Prime, Skywarp, Bluestreak, and two stunt driver Kreons (2011, 542 pieces)
- The larger Optimus Prime Kre-O kit is based loosely on the Optimus Prime of the live-action films. He transforms into a semi-trailer truck pulling a trailer reminiscent of another Optimus Prime's that can open to reveal a pair of motorcycles. The included Kreons can ride the motorcycles or sit in the cab. Orange traffic cones are included to direct traffic and guarantee that minimal hijinks take place.
- Optimus Prime (2011, 90 pieces)
- The smaller optimus Prime Kre-O kit is loosely based on the original Optimus Prime, transforming into a cabover truck. He comes with no Kreons.
- Matrix Optimus Prime (2011, 10 pieces)
- Exclusive to BotCon 2011 (but also handed out at SDCC and offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on Hasbro Toy Shop), this is a redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon, with an open chest showing the Matrix of Leadership within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand. An awesome factory error caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see above). This problem has (presumably) been fixed.
