Hi guys check this out,
* While a different version of Optimus Prime appears in Transformers: Cybertron, a figure resembling the original Optimus Prime is seen in a number of historical flashback sequences. He is depicted as one of the ancient Autobots who masterminded sending the Cyber Planet Keys to different parts of the galaxy.

* Homer Simpson appeared as Optimus Prime in one opening sequence to The Simpsons alongside the rest of the Simpson Family(Marge Simpson: Jetfire;Lisa Simpson:Bumblebee;Bart Simpson:Jazz)rendered as Autobots.[11]
* The Alaskan band Mr. McFeely released a ballad titled "The Death of Optimus Prime," telling the story of the character's first demise. Folk singer The Great Luke Ski also produced a song titled "The Ballad Of Optimus Prime."
* In the animated TV series program Family Guy, the episode When You Wish Upon a Weinstein "reveals" that Optimus Prime is in fact Jewish. In reference to this, Toyfare magazine's humorous "Twisted Toyfare Theatre" segment once featured a brief scene in which Jewish superhero, the The Thing, meets Optimus Prime, who has transformed into a synagogue.
* The TV show Robot Chicken parodied Optimus Prime (voiced by Abraham Benrubi) and other Transformers characters. Optimus Prime develops prostate cancer in the associated show segment and then dies followed by a transformation into a casket. It is then revealed that the segment was "acted" by the Transformers, and a real and healthy Optimus Prime explains that Transformers don't have organic internal organs, and cannot get cancer, but "You do, and you can." The toy used in the show for Optimus Prime was from the Robot Masters line, and the last scene uses the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy. This was probably due to their exceptional posability and show accuracy. He appears later that episode after the Human Torch reveals to the doctor that it burns when he urinates, shouting "What did I JUST tell you?!" He briefly appears in "Dragon Nuts" kicking a sick Devastator.
* The music video for the Nizlopi song JCB features a brief appearance by Optimus Prime.
* Optimus Prime often appears in the online cartoon College University, where he acts as the campus chief of security.
* Optimus Prime features in the Internet meme, the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, losing his head to Godzilla in the third verse. Past experience says he will probably be brought back from the dead for a sequel. Further, true to character, Optimus Prime is seemingly the only participant who does not directly attack another participant, instead spending his time saving Batman, then attempting to shore up a building that Godzilla has tried to knock down.
* A forty foot (12.2 meter) statue of Optimus Prime has been found in Yunnan Province, China. It is located near several automobile dealerships. The Transformers cartoon was broadcast in China (PRC) from 1990 onwards and had a large following among youths of that generation.[12]
* Optimus Prime (in his original form) is a regular character in the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2 fighting game DreamMix TV World Fighters, along with other Takara, Hudson Soft and Konami characters, including Megatron.
* Megatron and Optimus Prime made a cameo on the television series Scrubs. In episode 19 of the 5th season J.D. and Turk paint a mural on the baby's room wall of PowerMaster Optimus Prime and the original Megatron fighting each other. Carla refers to Optimus as "The Big Ugly One", to which Turk responds, "That's Optimus Prime, and I don't think he'd appreciate you calling him 'The Big Ugly One'". J.D agrees, "No, he wouldn't" to which Turk replies, "No, he wouldn't" and J.D. finally replying, "No, not Optimus".
* Optimus Prime and Grimlock make cameo appearances in the movie The Professional (also known as Léon), as clips of them are seen whenever Matilda watches TV in Leon's apartment.
* The 20th Anniversary figure was featured in a print ad for Nokia 6820 phones, stooped over and scratching his head with a slightly puzzled look on his face.[13]
* Prime has also been advertising for the Newspaper Association of America.[14]
* The comic book Wolverine vol. 2 #140 features a robotic look-alike of Optimus Prime. It attacks Wolverine and his teammate Nightcrawler under the orders of a similar mechanical look-alike of the X-Men's archenemy, Magneto.
* In the MMORPG City Of Villains, there is a truck found around the Rogue Isles that serves as a black market, The design of the truck is a homage to Optimus Prime.[15]
* On the episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy entitled Wishbones, a truck hauling the world's largest pillow feature Optimus Prime's markings. It even includes a white decal that resembles the Autobot insignia on the driver side, where Optimus Prime's insignia is located. The truck reappears later in the video game based on the show.
* Optimus Prime's incarnation from the new 2007 film appeared in a multiple movie spoof on the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, in a scene with host Sarah Silverman in cropped clips alongside star Shia LaBeouf. After Optimus Prime transforms, Sarah says to him: "Listen, I need a celebrity to present an award, do you know any?" To this, Optimus Prime, voiced by Peter Cullen, responds: "Why must it be a celebrity? Why not somebody who is, oh, I don't know...more than meets the eye?"
* A silhouette of Optimus appears in the opening of the Hayate the Combat Butler anime.

Transformers: The Headmasters
While the Transformers animated series came to an end in America with The Rebirth in 1987, across the Pacific, in Japan, it was decided to continue production of three new, exclusive animated series to continue the story. The first of these series, Transformers: The Headmasters, supplanted the events of The Rebirth, picking up one year after the events that saw Optimus Prime's return to life.
In the interim year, with the Decepticons not having been heard from, the Autobots had entered into an even closer relationship with Earth, and had begun the colonization of other worlds, the first of which was the planet Athenia, where Optimus Prime was stationed. It soon became apparent, however, that when Prime had released the energy of the Matrix to cure the Hate Plague, the consequences were more far-reaching than he had anticipated - without the energy of the Matrix to act as a balancing factor, Vector Sigma had become destabilized, and the Decepticons suddenly returned to exploit this, assaulting Cybertron in order to seize control of the mega-computer. Prime took a squad of troops to aid in the battle on the planet, and when the arrival of the Autobot Headmasters tipped the battle in their favor, Prime broke off from the main attack and headed down into the depths of the planet, planning on stabilizing Vector Sigma at any cost.
Guided through the dangers of the planet's catacombs by the spirit of Alpha Trion while the other Autobots searched for the Matrix on Earth, Prime eventually arrived at the computer, only to find his way barred by Cyclonus and Scourge. Hot Rod then arrived with the Matrix, with which Alpha Trion merged, re-energizing it and transforming Hot Rod back into Rodimus Prime; for the first time, the two Primes fought side-by-side and defeated Galvatron.
Before Rodimus could implement the Matrix to stabilize Vector Sigma, however, Optimus Prime sacrificed himself to perform the task, merging with the computer and restoring its balance to save the planet - dying again only a few short episodes after his rebirth.

Animated series
Transformers: Armada
In this series he shares the role of main protagonist with Rad. The Optimus of this universe shares many similarities with his parallel universe version: nobility of spirit and a strong desire to protect all humans on Earth. In this continuity the two sides are not looking for energon, but the small race of power-enhancing Transformers known as Mini-Cons. Optimus led his small band of Autobots to stop Megatron from acquiring their power for himself.
In his first appearance, Optimus looks very similar to his appearance in the original series until he copies himself with a semi-truck and his design in robot mode changes to the image shown above. Soon after he retrieves his Mini-Con partner, Sparkplug. The cab of his truck mode detaches and forms Optimus himself, while the trailer can transform into a battle station mode operable by Optimus and several Mini-Cons. Optimus can also combine with his base to form a "Super Mode" robot, and when he combines with Sparkplug, he can fire a series of powerful lasers. Additionally, Optimus can combine with Jetfire and/or Overload in his Super Mode for additional power.
After many battles on Earth, Optimus died by standing purposefully in the path of the Hydra-Cannon built by Megatron from the three Mini-Con weapons - the Requiem Blaster, the Skyboom Shield and the Star Saber. It was the Mini-Cons themselves, however, who resurrected him, entering the Matrix and reconstructing a new body for him. Subsequently, Optimus was forced to face the dark part of his soul by Unicron, who forced him to face the fact that on some level, he enjoyed the thrill of combat. Following Unicron's defeat, Optimus's denial was sorely tested as Galvatron (an upgraded Megatron) forced him into one final furious battle, that ended when Galvatron sacrificed himself to end the circle of hate that powered Unicron. Floating through space, Optimus finds the Matrix and said he doesn't deserve it.

Animated series
Optimus Prime began his life as a robot named Orion Pax, a mostly defenseless dock worker during the Golden Age of Cybertron nine million years ago, with a girlfriend named Ariel, and a best friend named Dion. At the time, a new breed of robot had recently appeared on the planet with new flight capabilities in robot mode that made Orion idolize them. Unfortunately for Orion, when Megatron, the leader of the new group robots, approached him with inquiries about using one of the dock warehouses, Orion was swayed by Megatron, and he and Ariel were severely wounded when Megatron and his forces then attacked in order to claim the energy stored there. Searching for someone to help them, the time-displaced Aerialbots took Orion and Ariel to the ancient Autobot, Alpha Trion, who used them as the first subjects for the new reconstruction process he had developed - rebuilding the frail Autobot frames into battle-hardy configurations. With this reconstruction, Orion Pax became Optimus Prime, the first of the Autobot warriors, who took the mantle of leadership as the civil war against the Decepticons erupted, and would remain in that position for the next four million years. Ariel was rebuilt into Elita One, the commander of the Autobot resistance on Cybertron.
As leader of the Autobots, Prime headed up the Autobots' mission to search out new worlds with new sources of energy to revitalize the depleted Cybertron. Optimus vowed to Elita that he would return from his mission for her, but just before the launch of the Ark Optimus was mistakenly led to believe Elita was killed. Shortly after its launch, the Autobots' craft was attacked by the Decepticons' space cruiser, the Nemesis, and boarded by Megatron and the Decepticons. In the ensuing struggle, the G-forces of a nearby planet pulled both craft down, and the Autobots' ship crashed into a volcano, thrusting all the occupants into emergency stasis. Four million years later, in the Earth year A.D. 1984, a volcanic eruption jarred the ship's computer, Teletraan I back to life, and it reactivated the Decepticons, programming them with new Earth-based disguise modes. As a parting gesture, Starscream fired upon the Autobot ship, creating a landslide. The vibrations from that landslide knocked Prime into the path of the computer's restoration beam, restoring him to life, and beginning the war anew on Earth.

Prime was perpetually at the forefront of the action throughout the early years of the war on Earth, usually confronting Megatron, and, in some rare instances, being forced to team up with him for the greater good (or the lesser evil) - such as against the Insecticon controlled Decepticons or the Combaticons. He has suffered his fair share of battlefield scrapes, almost meeting his end when his vital cosmotron component was critically damaged by the Decepticon jets and Laserbeak, having his body be disassembled and turned into Decepticon trophies (such as turning much of his body into a pet "alligaticon" and one of his arms into a defense laser), and suffering a severe - though unfair - defeat when Megatron challenged him to one-on-one combat while imbued with the different abilities of all the Decepticons. The loser would leave Earth. However, Teletraan I discovered the deception in time and the Autobots were able to drive the Decepticons off.
Generally, Prime acted in a commanding role as part of larger battles and events, but played prominent and solo roles in a few, also. In 1985, Megatron created a virtually perfect duplicate of him, leaving the Autobots unable to differentiate between the two until the clone disregarded the safety of their human companion, Spike Witwicky, exposing the deception.
One of Prime's most prominent appearances came in the episode "Prime Target", where the big game hunter Lord Cholmondeley captured a secret Soviet jet, leading to panic of a possible war. Cholmondeley then set his sights on the ultimate trophy, the head of Optimus Prime. In order to lure Optimus Cholmondeley captured the Autobots Tracks, Bumblebee, Jazz, Beachcomber, Blaster and Inferno. Windcharger and Huffer were able to avoid being trapped. When Cosmos learned of the location where Cholmondeley was keeping the captured Autobots, Optimus Prime accepted Cholmondeley's challenge to meet him alone. Although interrupted by the Decepticons Astrotrain and Blitzwing's attempt to ally the Decepticons with Cholmondeley, Optimus defeated the big game hunter and freed the Autobots. Cholmondeley and the stolen jet were given over to the Soviets by the Autobots as punishment for his actions.
The same year also saw Elita One captured by the Decepticons on Cybertron and used to lure Prime there alone; although knowing it was a trap, he ventured in solo and was defeated by the Decepticons and nearly destroyed, until Elita's stasis-field abilities froze time long enough for them to escape. Prime was forced to seek out Alpha Trion to save the wounded Elita's life, and in the process, rediscovered his forgotten connection to his creator. In the episode "Starscream's Brigade'" the Autobots were honored when a memorial statue of Optimus Prime was unveiled. Cliffjumper and Jazz attended the ceremony, but it was interrupted by Starscream and the Combaticons. Swindle shot up the statue.
In the episode "Masquerade", towards the end of the year, Prime was among the team of five Autobots who disguised themselves as the Stunticons, with Prime’s alternate mode making him the perfect choice to masquerade as Motormaster. Penetrating the Decepticons’ camp, the Autobots ran into trouble when the real Stunticons arrived, trying to prove their identities by forming Menasor. With a combination of Windcharger’s magnetic powers and Mirage’s illusion-creating ability, the Autobots were able to appear as Menasor too, but the deception was soon revealed, though they were still able to thwart the Decepticons’ plans.
Over the course of the next twenty years, the Decepticons succeeded in seizing control of all of Cybertron, forcing the Autobots to operate from their new city on Earth, and from two bases on Cybertron's moons. In the Earth year A.D. 2005, Prime was stationed on Moonbase One, and dispatched troops to Earth to acquire energy for an upcoming strike on Cybertron. The Decepticons, however, got wind of the plan and used the shuttle run to attack Autobot City; a distress call summoned Prime and support troops to Earth, and in the fearsome ensuing fight with Megatron, Optimus Prime sustained fatal injuries, but not before turning the tide of battle and forcing the Decepticons to flee. Despite the efforts of Perceptor, Optimus Prime died. The Matrix, and with it leadership of the Autobots, fell into the hands of Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, and subsequently to Rodimus Prime. His last words were "Until the day...'till all are one."
Prime's body was entombed in a massive deep-space mausoleum with the many other fallen Autobots, but his corpse was desecrated by the Quintessons in 2006, when they reanimated it as part of an attempt to destroy the Autobots by using Prime to lure their space fleet into a trap. However, the Matrix was able to purify Prime of the Quintesson influence, and he ordered the other Autobots to clear out while he piloted his flagship into the Quintessons' detonator, triggering the explosion of a nearby sun.
Prime was believed to have been destroyed in the explosion. According to The Return of Optimus Prime, Prime's body was recovered from the craft by two human scientists, Jessica Morgan and Gregory Swofford, just minutes before the explosion. However, as their ship departed, it was coated with solar spores released by the explosion of the sun. Jessica's father, Mark Morgan, loathed the Transformers (both Autobot and Decepticon), and his hatred only grew when an attempt by the Decepticons to steal a heat-resistant alloy he had developed resulted in Jessica being paralyzed. Swofford and Morgan reconstructed Optimus Prime's body in an attempt to use it as a delivery system for the spores, which induced enmity and madness in every sentient being they came into contact with, in order to destroy the Transformers. However, when they could not reanimate him, they used his body as a lure instead, bringing the Autobots to their lab, where they were infected. As this "Hate Plague" proceeded to spread across the galaxy, Sky Lynx retrieved a Quintesson, who fully restored Optimus Prime to life. Coating himself in Morgan's heat-resistant alloy, Prime reclaimed the Matrix from Rodimus and unleashed its concentrated wisdom to destroy the Hate Plague.
In 2006, Prime began to suffer from visions following the release of the Matrix's energy, which foretold a great transformation for Cybertron. Events began with the Decepticons' theft of the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber, which forced Prime to consult Alpha Trion within Vector Sigma, and Prime learned that the mega-computer had orchestrated events in order to restore Cybertron's Golden Age. When the Plasma Energy Chamber was opened and threatened to drive Earth's Sun supernova, Spike Witwicky and the Nebulans who had become involved in the conflict as a result of these events were able to drain off the excess solar energy and revitalize Cybertron.
The seldom-seen fifth season of the show featured previous episodes' stories retold by a stop-motion Powermaster Optimus Prime to the live-action youngster Tommy Kennedy. No real back story was ever established for Prime becoming a Powermaster, but the new sequences were said to take place after the four previous seasons, indicating that in the original Sunbow continuity at least, Prime became a Powermaster at some point.
Although the animated series ended in the U.S. after The Rebirth, Optimus Prime continued to appear in animated sequences in the Transformers toy commercials, progressing from Powermaster to Action Master, and even appearing as a CGI Combat Hero Optimus Prime.
As leader of the Autobots, Prime headed up the Autobots' mission to search out new worlds with new sources of energy to revitalize the depleted Cybertron.

Hi Guys See this Movie, This is very cool movie. Very Short Movie But COOOLLLL
Transformers: Generation 1
Optimus Prime, known in Japan as Convoy (コンボイ, Konboi?), is a character in the Transformers universe. He is the commander of the Autobots, a faction of heroic robots from the planet Cybertron who wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons, for control of their homeworld, and by extension, peace in the universe. The immensely kind and compassionate Prime puts all his talent to use to improve the world around him, and has dedicated himself to the protection of all life, particularly the inhabitants of Earth; he will battle his foes with unyielding resolve to uphold this belief. In power and intelligence, Optimus Prime has no equal, known as one of the greatest heroes on both Cybertron and Earth.
The original Optimus Prime transforms into a cab over semi truck. The truck's cab transforms into the robot mode of Prime himself, with vast strength and armed with a laser rifle. Contained within his chest is the mystic talisman known as the Autobot Matrix of Leadership (or Creation Matrix), carried by all Autobot leaders and passed down through the ages. The truck's trailer disconnects and transforms into the Combat Deck, a mobile battle-station/command headquarters with an "Auto-Launcher" robot armed with assorted artillery and beam weapons. It can also serve as a radio antenna for battlefield communications between the Autobots. The Combat Deck can launch Prime's third component, Roller, a mobile scout buggy that can easily slip behind enemy lines; when Roller is present somewhere, it is as if Prime is there himself. Injury to one component is felt by each of the others, and while Prime could survive the destruction of either, despite the slight degree of autonomy they possess, the Combat Deck and Roller would not be able to survive without him.
Additional powers included (somewhat inconsistently) in the animated series and comics are short-range optic blasts, holographic map projections, and deployable hydro-foils designed by Wheeljack which allowed Prime and the other Autobots to traverse bodies of water with ease. One of Prime's more memorable abilities from the animated series was the ability to retract his right hand and replace it with a glowing energon axe; although used only once, the axe proved popular enough to be rendered in toy form several times in recent years, and made further appearances in both the Dreamwave Productions and the Devil's Due Publishing comic series.
Across the assorted continuities of the original Transformers universe, there have been various interpretations of Optimus Prime. One of Prime's most notable characteristics in any form was his adamant commitment to leadership by example, and avoidance of any hypocrisy in his command, but beyond this, the animated series leaned towards Optimus Prime as a straightforward, wise and essentially upbeat battlefield general. The Marvel Comics series, on the other hand, in addition to these more obvious characteristics, suggested a Prime secretly plagued by self-doubt and, more importantly, a conflicted sense of pacifism that often made him an extremely reluctant warrior, and it was occasionally implied that the conflict with the Decepticons lasted as long as it did primarily because of his unwillingness to take a more aggressive stance.
A tragic constant of the character is his predilection for self-sacrifice - across several continuities, Prime (and later, his modern namesakes) is almost sure to meet his end and later return to life (sometimes more than once). This trend was even the victim of a bit of gentle spoofing in the Beast Wars animated series, when the Megatron of that series noted that Optimuses "do love to sacrifice" themselves.

Injury to one component is felt by each of the others, and while Prime could survive the destruction of either, despite the slight degree of autonomy they possess, the Combat Deck and Roller would not be able to survive without him.
Additional powers included (somewhat inconsistently) in the animated series and comics are short-range optic blasts, holographic map projections, and deployable hydro-foils designed by Wheeljack which allowed Prime and the other Autobots to traverse bodies of water with ease. One of Prime's more memorable abilities from the animated series was the ability to retract his right hand and replace it with a glowing energon axe; although used only once, the axe proved popular enough to be rendered in toy form several times in recent years, and made further appearances in both the Dreamwave Productions and the Devil's Due Publishing comic series.
Across the assorted continuities of the original Transformers universe, there have been various interpretations of Optimus Prime. One of Prime's most notable characteristics in any form was his adamant commitment to leadership by example, and avoidance of any hypocrisy in his command, but beyond this, the animated series leaned towards Optimus Prime as a straightforward, wise and essentially upbeat battlefield general. The Marvel Comics series, on the other hand, in addition to these more obvious characteristics, suggested a Prime secretly plagued by self-doubt and, more importantly, a conflicted sense of pacifism that often made him an extremely reluctant warrior, and it was occasionally implied that the conflict with the Decepticons lasted as long as it did primarily because of his unwillingness to take a more aggressive stance.
A tragic constant of the character is his predilection for self-sacrifice - across several continuities, Prime (and later, his modern namesakes) is almost sure to meet his end and later return to life (sometimes more than once). This trend was even the victim of a bit of gentle spoofing in the Beast Wars animated series, when the Megatron of that series noted that Optimuses "do love to sacrifice" themselves.
अबाउट ओप्तिमुसे Prime
ptimus Prime and his brother Ultra Magnus were created at the same time by Alpha Trion, but when Prime was chosen to carry the Matrix, Magnus felt passed over, and was left carrying a grudge against his brother.
Later, Optimus pursued Megatron to Earth to stop him from pillaging the planet's energy resources. Prime's loyal team of Autobots clashed with Megatron's Predacons on many occasions, stopping their schemes with the aid of Koji, a human whose father had been abducted by the Predacons. Prime and Koji went on to form a strong friendship, even though Prime saw it as his fault Koji's father had been abducted in the first place. Optimus proved his bravery on many occasions, battling and defeating Sky-Byte in an underwater duel, and personally rescuing Side Burn from a Predacon trap. Later, Prime would gain a clone of sorts in the evil Decepticon Scourge, who had been created when his protoform was given life by some of Megatron's Spark energy and scanned Prime's truck alternate mode. However, Prime's pleas to make Scourge remember his original Autobot loyalties fell on deaf ears.
Prime soon had other things to worry about, as Magnus arrived on Earth with the intention of taking what he believed was rightfully his - by force, if necessary. Severely injuring Prime, who refused to fight back, Magnus tracked him to a desert island, where he pretended to offer him the hand of friendship, only to attempt to absorb the Matrix for himself, forcing the brothers into the combined form of Omega Prime (God Fire Convoy). Through this link, Magnus was also able to channel the power of the Matrix, which he used to supercharge the Autobot Brothers into newly-coloured forms. Prime went on to battle the Decepticons on many other occasions. Although Magnus remained a free agent, refusing to take orders from his brother, his animosity dwindled and he frequently helped the Autobots by combining with Prime to battle the Predacons and Decepticons. During the final battle with Galvatron (Megatron's new form) the two brothers finally reconciled. Together they faced Galvatron together at the Earth's core and successfully defeated him once and for all.
In Car Robots, the original Japanese version of Robots in Disguise there is not one singular Matrix, but multiple ones, each held by a high-ranking Autobot. God Magnus already possesses a Matrix, and simply seeks to steal the power of Fire Convoy's to increase his own (the overspill resulting in the supercharging of the Autobot Brothers).
