Explanation of the conversion: Although this write-up is meant for Go-Bot Optimus Prime, it also works for Transformer
Universe Spychanger Optimus Prime.
History: Optimus Prime was reformatted into one of the Autobot Go-Bots.
Trivia: On the Transformers television show, the voice of Optimus
Prime is played by actor Peter Cullen. The toy for Optimus Prime is similar
to that of Firecracker, Go-Bot Sideswipe and R.E.V. The Japanese version of Go-Bot Optimus
Prime has a Transformers logo on his chest.
Powers: Optimus Prime is incredibly strong, tough, smart and couragous. He is a storehouse of his vast
knowledge. His vision is exceptional, able to target a Decepticon from 30 miles away. Optimus is an accomplished practicioner of
the Cybertonian martial art form known as diffusion. He is an excellent marksmech, an accomplished leader and skilled
mechanic as well.
Optimus' new form as a Go-Bot is smaller and faster than his previous forms. He carries an even more powerful laser rifle,
and can still burn a hole in the nosecone of a Decepticon jet fighter at a distance of 30 miles, aided by his outstanding
visual acuity. Optimus's right hand can convert into a powerful energon axe. Optimus can project simple holographic maps
from his eyes or headlights. Thanks to modifications done on him by Wheeljack he can also assume a hydrofoil mode to
travel over water. Optimus sometimes utilizes a standard Autobot jet pack.
Weaknesses: Optimus Prime's only weakness is that he could be accused of being too compassionate
and concerned about the safety of others. He would be a more effective military commander if he were more ruthless, but
then he wouldn't be Optimus Prime.
