Character description from "tech spec:
During Cybertron's Golden age of peace, an elite few served as the guardians of Cybertron's accumulated knowledge.
Among these data clerks was Optronix. A low-level operator who sought to replace those above him, Optronix turned
his research skills to finding methods of manipulation. Eventually, he rose to prominence; however, when his
activities were uncovered, he was removed from service and left purposeless. Deep in his ember though, Optronix
believed he was best fit to lead Cybertron. He hungered for power and through his studies, he determined that
military might was the only way to achieve his goals. Preaching a philosophy of destruction and conquest, he
eventually began re-engineering his body as well as taking on a new name: Optimus Prime. He then began
refashioning the bodies of his followers into weapons as well. Armed with weapons and a uniting philosophy, he
declared his warriors autonomous from the rest of Cybertron and thus named them the Autobots.
