Team Prime
Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime | Orion Pax
Alt Mode: Freightliner Semi-Truck
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"
Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots. He is wise, intelligent, and willing to give his life to save those in need of help. After finally being unthawed from being frozen for centuries, he resumes his fight against the Decepticons and Megatron's tyranny. Optimus has also become a mentor to the students, especially Izuku.
- Actor Allusion: Unsurprisingly his holomatter avatar is based on a younger Peter Cullen.
- All-Loving Hero: It wouldn't be Optimus Prime if he wasn't this. He tries to talk and reason with his enemies before attacking them and only decides to kill Shatter and Dropkick as leaving them alive would result in Earth being attacked by a Decepticon invasion.
- Arch-Enemy: To Megatron.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Optimus is very observant.
- He was able to notice the similarities between Izuku and All Might's Quirks and correctly deduced that they were the same.
- During Kaida's match against Bakugo, he was also able to tell that the girl was jolted out of her stupor after re-experiencing a past memory.
- Baritone of Strength: Optimus possesses a deep voice that shows his leadership of the Autobots; even through his holoform, the students of 1-A were left in awe of his voice.
- Big Badass Rig: As always, his alt mode is a trailer truck, in this case, a flat-nosed Freightliner.
- Big Damn Heroes:

- Blade Below the Shoulder: Optimus's signature weapon is his energon axe which comes out of his hand.
- Composite Character: This version of Optimus Prime has his design from G1, and is a former friend of Megatron like he was in the Aligned continuity due to their differing views of overcoming the Functionism caste system in the Transformers IDW comics. He also has a more casual sense of humor from the early seasons of the Sunbow cartoon.
- Easily Forgiven:
- He immediately forgives the agents of Sector Seven when they reveal they were manipulated by the Decepticons into helping them.
- He easily forgives Mina when she confesses to being reckless.
- A Father to His Men: Optimus is shown to treat all his comrades fairly and has become a father figure to them as well as the students.
- Foil: To All Might. Both Optimus and All Might are The Paragon in their worlds (Cybertron and Earth, respectively) and share the same red and blue color scheme. They are also a mentor to Izuku and have a power that can be passed down (One For All for All Might and the Matrix of Leadership for Optimus). However, while All Might is a boisterous hero; Optimus is more of The Stoic. Also, All Might is close to retiring due to an injury while Optimus is still in his Prime, pun intended.
- Good Counterpart: To Megatron. Both are the leaders of opposing Cybertronian factions (Autobots and Decepticons, respectively) who wish to remove Cybertron's caste system. However, while Optimus wants to create a peaceful future where Cybertronians can live with their freedom; Megatron's idea of a peaceful future is through his tyranny.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With his Mini-Con partner, Roller.
- Humble Hero: For all his great deeds and accomplishments, Optimus is a very humble bot who doesn't care about fame and only wishes to protect the innocent.

- Legacy Hero: He wields the Matrix of Leadership, an ancient Cybertronian relic passed down from the previous leaders of the Autobots.
- The Mentor: To Izuku.
- Not So Above It All: He was seen cheering wildly for Izuku during the early portion of the Sports Festival.
- "Not So Different" Remark: He notes how One For All's mechanisms are similar to the Matrix of Leadership.
- Papa Wolf: Optimus cares deeply about his Autobots and comrades which made him angry when the Decepticons kidnapped Bumblebee and Midnight.
- Primary-Color Champion: His signature red, blue, and white paint job, which is even described as looking patriotic.
- Real Name as an Alias: When using his holomatter projection he goes by his original name of "Orion Pax".
- Secret-Keeper:
- He finds out about the truth of One For All and reluctantly keeps it a secret on behalf of Izuku's insistence.
- He learns about Shoto's abusive and tragic upbringing when he overhears him talking about it to Izuku and keeps it a secret for Shoto's sake and to avoid any further troubles with Endeavor.
- Spotting the Thread: He is able to pick up on the similarities between Izuku and All Might's Quirk after witnessing it in action just once. He also had insight from the Matrix of Leadership.
