Trivia
- For this incarnation of Optimus, voice actor Neil Kaplan very specifically impersonated the voice of the original Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen.
- Cybertron "Multi-Pack" Optimus Prime's tech spec bio seems to indicate he's Unicron Trilogy Optimus Prime. However, his (and Magnus') deco was later used in the Fun Publications Cybertron fan club magazine comic as Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime having traveled to the Unicron Trilogy universe.
- Persistant net rumors abound about early or suplimental Japanese material establishing Optimus and his Auobots being part of a "Dimensional Patrol" that folows the Predacons either back in time or from another universe. This is not supported in-show and no solid evidence supporting it has ever surfaced elsewhere.
