- Optimus Prime is an rocker from the Knights of Unicron continuity.
A true metalhead, Optimus Prime is the lead vocalist for the Knights of Unicron. Though he was once but a lowly record store clerk, he rose to fame and fortune after replacing Knights of Unicron founding member Bumblebee as the band's frontman. Truly the stuff of legend, when Optimus isn't performing face-melting musical hits, touring the cosmos and revolutionizing the music industry, he is often involved in petty in-fighting with his (former or current) band members. Optimus is in a relationship with Arcee.

After years of performing, The Knights of Unicron found themselves in need of new talent, especially since that spotlight-stealing hack Megatron often clashed with Optimus over creative differences. After a series of grueling auditions, Optimus and the rest of the band welcomed Smooth Jazz into their ranks. Years of glorious thrashing followed, cut short by infighting between Optimus and Megatron. The band split once more, going their separate ways for the time being. Knights of Unicron
