A group of civilians, scientists, and soldiers founded by Optimus Prime to defend the All. Spark from Megatron. The war eventually deteriorated Cybertron, forcing the Autobots to launch the All. Spark to prevent it from falling into Decepticon hands. Millions of years later, the All. ![]() ![]() Spark was rediscovered on Earth, re- starting the Autobot. Later films show the Autobots forming an alliance with humanity to defend Earth from the Decepticons, as the loss of the All. Spark has eliminated any possibility of rebuilding Cybertron. In General: Alien Among Us: The benevolent kind. Arm Cannon: Most Autobots have them, until they began to get phased out in Dark of the Moon. Badass Crew: Whether it's Optimus's initial Five- Man Band or the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits plus the Dinobots, they're a force to be reckoned with. The Transformers: The Movie is an entertaining feature.
Band of Brothers: In the first three films. The fourth features a bunch of loners and misfits who don't get along, eventually becoming Fire- Forged Friends. Beauty Equals Goodness: The Autobots have human- like appearances so that audiences can identify as them as the good guys. Their faces resemble human faces and they have five- fingered hands. Even Jetfire and Drift, defectors from the Decepticons, can be identified as good guys by this trope. Sentinel Prime subverts it. Car Fu: These Autobots certainly have a lot more creativity with their vehicle forms, especially with Optimus being as big as he is. Dual Wielding: Be it blades or guns, every Autobot does this with every Shapeshifter Weapon they have. Innocent Blue Eyes: Most Autobots have blue eyes, like in Generation One, so that they can be identified as the heroes. ![]() Exceptions are Jetfire, Sentinel Prime, Drift, and the Dinobots. Mechanical Lifeforms: As is tradition. Mildly Military: They don't show any sort of military discipline whatsoever, even if they work alongside the human military. Hound comes off as a grizzled, over- the- hill veteran brought back out of retirement. La R. Taken even further in Age of Extinction, with the Autobot- human alliance being dissolved and the Autobots being forced to go on the run. Shapeshifter Weapon: Their arms transform into their weapons. Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction subvert it, with the Autobots' weapons being handheld instead. Transforming Mecha: Natch. True Companions: The cast of the first three films act as a well- oiled bunch of killing machines, fueled by their long comradeship and friendships. Averted initially in Age of Extinction: the only Autobots that survived The Purge are a bunch of loners, misfits, and assholes who clearly don't belong together, but they're stuck with each other because they're literally all that's left. By the end of the film, however, it's safe to say they've become this. Though idealistic, millions of years of war have hardened him considerably, and he is willing to take more brutal methods than usual to end the war. He transforms into a series of semi trucks, most prominently a Peterbilt 3. Action Hero: He's a soldier, after all. He sees more action than any other Autobot in the films. An Axe to Grind: Used in DOTM to devastating effect, and in the end to kill Megatron. Antiquated Linguistics: Rarely uses contractions. Arm Cannon: Gains one in Rot. F using Jetfire's parts. Asskicking Equals Authority: How Optimus gains the loyalty and support of the Dinobots. Authority Equals Asskicking: There is a reason why some of the best fight scenes have him in them. Back from the Dead: What? It's nothing new. Badass Baritone: Well, he is voiced by Peter Cullen. Badass Boast: . This goes over with Optimus as well as you'd expect. Badass in Distress: He is captured by Lockdown and brought to his prison ship in Age of Extinction. The other Autobots free him, along with the captured Dinobots. Being Good Sucks: Boy, does it ever! So many tragedies happen to Optimus in the film series, even when most of them aren't really his fault. He could leave Earth to its fate—he was even considering it in Age of Extinction—but he chooses to stay because of his belief in the freedom all sentient beings deserve. Benevolent Boss: An effective commander and a loyal friend to his subordinates. Bequeathed Power: Optimus achieves his upgraded form when Jetfire donates his parts to him. Berserk Button: Don't you dare harm any human in front of him, especially humans who are particularly close to him. He WILL scare the crap out of you, like what he did to Sector Seven, who kidnapped Sam and Mikaela. Or beat you senseless, like what he did to Megatron, Starscream and Grindor when they captured Sam and tried to get his brain. He destroys the Fallen, who was endangering the whole human race, and brutally cleaves Megatron's head in half and then uses the latter's gun to blow Sentinel Prime's head off for slaughtering thousands of people and several of his friends. Changed in Age of Extinction. With humanity indiscriminately killing Autobots, Ratchet being the most recent casualty, it takes all of his self control to stop him from killing every human in sight. To his credit, he doesn't go destroying city blocks like the Decepticons, and directs his rage at those who are responsible for or are accomplices to the betrayal. Furthermore, attempting to harm the Yeagers in his vicinity pretty much ends badly for anyone who tries it, particularly Attinger and Lockdown. Beware the Nice Ones: The greatest living Cybertronian warrior is according to Word of God a peace loving and kind- hearted scientist, so don't piss him off or he'll take your face. Big Badass Rig: He transforms into a long- nosed Peterbilt 3. Age of Extinction, he transforms into a rusty Marmon 9. Western Star 4. 90. Phantom Custom semi- trailer truck. Big Damn Heroes: His job in a nutshell. Big Good: Leader of the Autobots and all that. Age of Extinction shows that without him, the Autobots were getting ready to blow each other apart. Also, when Optimus gains the loyalty of the Dinobots, this exchange happens. Crosshairs: Ugh, you just want to die for the guy. While he's justified in being angry at the humans involved with the killing of his friends and using them for experiments, he seemingly extends that anger to all humans, excepting only those who help him (Cade and his family), as if they're all bad. Thankfully changed at the end, though. Blade Below the Shoulder: One in each arm. Broken Pedestal: He starts out advocating for humans and holds them in high regard, despite various Autobot and Decepticon characters explicitly telling him that humans are a warlike and unintelligent species which don't deserve his protection. The pedestal cracks significantly when Sentinel Prime, his mentor and the one who instilled these principles into Optimus, betrays him and the Autobots in the third film. Thanks to the humans turning on them soon after, this pedestal is thoroughly broken by the fourth movie, if his initial reaction upon being reawakened is any indication. Once he learns of Ratchet's fate, you might as well pull out a fusion cannon and vaporize any remnants of said pedestal. But Now I Must Go: At the end of Age of Extinction, Optimus takes the Seed and heads into deep space alone, leaving the remaining Autobots on Earth, as he still has to confront his apparent Creators. Character Development: By the end of the first trilogy, he has finally lost all hope for peace with Megatron, especially after the massacre of Chicago. The fourth film focuses on him regaining faith in humanity after a quite unforgivable betrayal. Composite Character: Has the same basic personality and voice actor as his Generation One incarnation, but his ability to combine with Jetfire in Revenge of the Fallen is taken from Transformers Armada. Cool Mask: He has a retractable faceplate for combat situations. Megatron breaks it in Revenge of the Fallen, but it gets repaired when Optimus merges with Jetfire's parts. Cool Sword: He wields a longsword in Age of Extinction. Combat Pragmatist: Very much so. Starting from his first fight scene, where he rams his blade into Bonecrusher's face. There is practically nothing he won't use as a weapon against a foe. Et Tu, Brute?: His very realization when he discovers that Sentinel Prime had betrayed him and the Autobots. Genius Bruiser: Aside from being a formidable soldier, he's also one of Cybertron's greatest scientists. Gentle Giant: Being the largest Autobot in the main group, he fits this trope the most. Good Is Not Soft: As several very dead Decepticons can attest, Optimus is merciless in a fight. Guns Akimbo: He wields two guns when attacking Megatron to save Sam in Revenge of the Fallen. The Hero: He's the main character, after all. Heroes Prefer Swords: Optimus gets to use swords quite a lot through the saga, such as his arm- blades in the first trilogy and the longsword in Age of Extinction. Heroic Sacrifice: He gets better, though. Heroic Spirit: He wouldn't be Optimus Prime if he didn't display it. Honor Before Reason: Except when he kills Megatron at the end of DOTM instead of accepting a . Though considering Megatron seemed less than sincere, taunted Optimus while asking for said truce, and still had his gun pointing at him, this is a Justified Trope. The novel has him use this trope all the way through, though in both the novel and comic adaptations, Megatron is clearly sincere about the truce, and even asks Optimus to kill him if he deems it fit. Then again, Optimus calls out Sentinel on making an alliance with Megatron, so if he did the same, he would look like a Hypocrite. Hooks and Crooks: A memorable scene in Revenge of the Fallen has him swapping his blades for hooks, then using said hooks to tear Grindor's head apart. Hot Blade: His swords are superheated, allowing Optimus to slice his enemies more easily. Hot Paint Job: Optimus has red flames painted on his blue chassis, letting him keep the iconic red- chest- windows look. Humans Are Special: Firmly believes this, and trusts his human friends with his life.
