==== Optimus Primal ==== 

A relatively young Autobot heavily inspired by the legend of Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal is a Maximal; a subfaction of Autobots who take on more techno-organic forms capable of passing for animals; and takes on the form of a great and powerful ape.  Bearing a great physical resemblance to Optimus, some even wonder if Primal is a reincarnation of the great Optimus Prime himself, though he denies such claims.  A formidable and compassionate warrior in combat, Optimus Primal frequently offers his enemies a chance to surrender before facing the full wrath of the Autobot army, though he certainly will not hesitate to lay his enemies low with lethal force if such is needed to protect those he sees as innocent.  While more adept at physical combat, Optimus Primal is certainly capable of tearing apart most enemies at any range, and his leadership credentials have made him among Rodimus Prime's favoured lieutenants.
