Explanation of the conversion: I know the toy of Optimus Minor can fire it's missiles in either mode, but I thought
it would be more consistant with the television series if his weapons only worked in robot mode.
History: Optimus Minor was one of the protoforms from the Maximal ship called the Axalon commanded by Optimus Primal, which chased the Predacon criminal Megatron II
through transwarp space after the theft of the Golden Disc. The
Maximals and Predacons crashed on prehistoric Earth, where high energon levels threatened to destroy the crew unless they
adopted organic alternate modes (Beast Wars Part 1).
Falling to Earth, Optimus Minor came online and was formatted in the form of a transmetal
monkey. He eventually joined up with Bonecrusher II and Wolfang.
When Rattrap was under attack by Dinobot II, he was saved by Bonecrusher II, Optimus Minor and
Wolfang. Although Rattrap was happy to discover new Maximals, the three refused to go with him back to Maximal base
(Transformers: Summer Special 2004).
Powers: Optimus Minor is highly energy efficient smart, brave and well skilled. He carries a laser whip. He
converts into transmetal monkey and is an excellent climber. Possessing superior balance and climbing abilities, this highly intelligent
cyber-primate must learn to control hostile instincts, a ferocious advantage in battle. The Predacons learned quickly that Optimus Minor's presence is no laughing matter.
He recovers from damage quicker in beast mode and is better
protected from high energon levels as well.
Weaknesses: Optimus Minor has only average speed and strength. His laser whip isn't very powerful. In beast mode he
lacks ranged weapons completely. High energon fields can adversely effect Optimus Minor if he stays in robot form for too
long. His animal form is protected from high energon levels. He cannot fly.
