Optimus Primal was the leader of the Maximals.
He adopted his name from his famous ancestor Optimus Prime, who
led the Autobots. Strong, courageous and sensible, Optimus
earned the trust and respect from his Axalon crew that he deserved,
especially after proving time and time again that he was able to
lead them. Compassionate and always trying to think of what
was best for his troops, Optimus tried not to make any rash decisions.
During his leadership, he took in three Predacons (Dinobot, Silverbolt
and Blackarachnia), accepting a challenge from Dinobot, a request
from Silverbolt to join the Maximals and taking a risk on accepting
Blackarachnia, who had nowhere else to go. His good nature
and faith, although they could be seen as weaknesses in warfare,
proved worthwhile in the end.
Optimus had the beast mode of a Gorilla and changed
style and structure three times. The second time he was ressurected
as a transmetal, after he died saving Earth from an alien weapon
that was about to destroy it. His final mode was that of Optimal
Optimus, when in an attempt to save his ancestor (and in turn his
and the futures of all the Maximals) he took in the spark of Optimus
Prime. He managed to hold two sparks in his body, although
this altered his form, giving him the size and strength of his ancestor.
This added power helped him win control over the Ark and from there
the battle continued until he was onboard the Nemesis, fighting
Megatron in a battle that seemed hopeless. Optimus fought
right until the end, his sheer determination inspiring Transmetal
2 Dinobot to download emergency data to the defenseless Maximals
below, allowing them to have a fair fight.
Fortunately for the Maximals, the emergency data
gave them knowledge of a small shuttle, which ruined Megatron's
plan for conquest and worked as their vessel home. Never losing
hope, sacrificing himself (and coming back!) and fighting for what
he believed was true, Optimus Primal proved an excellent leader
for the Maximals in the Beast Wars.
