History[]
Optimus Primal was the latest guardian of the Requiem Blaster, as appointed by the Thirteen Primes, who were seen as gods. For as long as he could remember, he was sealed with it inside a dome in Primal Swamp to watch over it.
When Megatron came for the Blaster, Optimus Primal faced him and fought him to stop him claiming the blaster. When Megatron revealed to him that Cybertron was facing extinction, and he would die to protect it, Primal relinquished the Blaster to Megatron, who left the vault with it. As the former Decepticon and his team discussed their next move, Primal followed him outside and properly introduced himself, suggesting they head for the Athenaeum Sanctorum.
At the Cataclysm Tundra, Primal talked with Windblade, telling her that Megatron was honest in his motivations, and unearthed the Sanctorum's hidden entrance. Finding a data terminal inside, they learned of Primal's origins as an agent of the gods but were interrupted when Overlord and Rodimus Cron attacked.
Optimus Primal joined the fight then fled after a while with the Requiem Blaster. However, as Megatron is cornered until Primal returned with the Requiem Blaster, allowing Megatron to finish Overlord off.
With him finally rejoined Megatron's small team, he followed them to stop Megatronus and his plans. He joined the final battle, and as he hold onto the Matrix of Leadership, he turned into Optimal Optimus, and removed the Matrix of Chaos from Hot Rod. As Megatron was corrupted by Unicron, Optimal Optimus finally finished them off to save the universe, even if it is a risk where Megatron fully redeemed himself.
As Optimus Prime was later revealed to be alive and well, everyone recovered, with Optimal having a talk with Optimus, unknowing that Starscream is still alive.
