Forms
Cybertron Form
A Jet-Plane. This gives explanation to why Optimus has built in flight rockets. He had this form before chasing Megatron and landing on Prehistoric earth.
Gorilla Form
This form was chosen by Optimus as a way to prevent energon build-up on the world he and the other Maximals landed on. Aquring this form gave him some of the animals mannerisms, like a strong sense of smell and swinging through trees. Even though the gorilla is a land based animal, it didn’t rid Optimus of his flight rockets from his orginal form.
Transmetal Form
After flying a modified statis-pod to destory an alien device, Optimus’s orginal body was destroyed and his spark was lost. But luckily, Rhinox came across a sparkless protoform and after sending his own spark in space, he found Primal’s and had it placed in the protoform. Not only did the Boss Monkey get a new body, but it was a transmetal body. It had three forms: Beast-Mode, Robot-Mode, and Vehicle-Mode. Optimus’s Vehicle mode was basically his beast-mode, riding on a jet surf-board.
Beast Machines
Optimus gains the ability to reformat robots. And shoots energy discs from his chest. His arms can be used to absorb energy blasts, and shoots them back.
