Transformers One

transformer Oneshows the humble origins of two of the most iconic characters in theTransformersfranchise , Optimus Prime and Megatron , for the first time on the big CRT screen . Transformers Onehas received rave reviewssince its spill , with much of the kudos pointed at the splendid characters and writing that the motion picture display . Optimus Prime , being one of the main characters , is one of the good examples of how aroused and deep the pic is , but the film also shows that Optimus is no slouch when it comes to his power and abilities .

Despite itsnew cast , Transformers Oneis able to keep its characters feeling close to their other incarnations . Optimus Prime has , historically , been a weapons powerhouse , with a ton of ability that help him when it amount to the fighting side of things . From the original animated cartoon , to the strip , to the unrecorded - action films , he has always had an armoury at his garbage disposal , andOptimus inTransformers Oneis no different . Each version is apparently going to have slight variances , and sothe former film has a mixture of classic , iconic weapon system and new or lesser - know abilities that it showcases .

8Enhanced Strength

A True Leader Has To Punch Really Hard

Extra strength is something of a given for the principal character of a film like this , but it is worth noting for Optimus Prime here , because it is one of the way that helps to show the character ’s growth over the course of the movie . At the starting line , a character like Darkwing is completely unvanquishable to him , sohe is go away completely at the mercy of the stronger reference in the film .

By the end , however , Optimus is fending off four Decepticons with nothing but raw strength and power , pulsate backMegatron , who is using Megatronus Prime ’s cog , and then Starscream , Shockwave , and Soundwave , all of whom are some of the good fighters on Cybertron . Outside his general fight prowess , his strength can be seen in some of the individual feats he accomplishes . From grabbing a missile out of the air and throwing it at someone else , to rend Megatron ’s cannon clean off his back , Optimus ' specialty is one of his key powers .

7Propulsion Jets

He Still Can’t Fly

Optimus is shown to practice his actuation jets a few time during the pic , and surprisingly , he is able to employ them in multiple unique fashion . The most obvious use of these reverse lightning is when he is in his vehicle form , and uses them to get a boost of upper , both in and out of fighting . However , he also uses them to glide down when he is infiltrating Iacon cityafter Megatron and Bee are charm , as well as using them to enhance his fists when punch , give himself an extra bit of strength behind his clenched fist .

transformer One is one of the best films in the Transformers franchise , and one aspect in particular helps the film to rise above the balance .

However , one limitation of this ability seems to be that Optimus ca n’t fly with the jets , only glide and make big jumps . During the fight at the High Guard ’s base , he leap on top of a unlike flying Transformer to get a better vantage point in the air , and when he and the miner fight back off Sentinel ’s soldiers attacking the train , he is put on a jetpack , not using his own jet . The propulsion jet are distinctly utilitarian , but it seems he ca n’t apply them to full aviate , at least not yet .

6Built-In Guns

They Are Rarely Used

While Megatron is for certain more of the hitman enthusiast of the duo , Optimus Prime is depict to have built - in weapon system that he can apply to fend for himself and others . When Sentinel ’s forces attack the High Guard base , there is one moment , after Bee jumps on his back with a gun , where Optimus bring out two small blasters on his front to blast through a handful of soldiers in his style . Optimus is in his vehicle modality when he employ these weapons , andhe only uses them in brief before translate back .

It ’s unreadable whether or not Optimus can use these weapon in his normal form , but it is likely , pass that every other ability he has can be used in either . However , he only use these guns one time in a undivided fight , normally prefer paw - to - manus scrap most of the time . This is likely becausehe often require to forfend killing everyone in his path , giving his opponents a probability to back down and surrender as opposed to just mowing down all of his enemies .

5Transformation

It’s Obvious, But It Has To Be Mentioned

transmutation is in the name of the entire series , so , of class , it is one of the master abilities that Optimus Prime can use . However , while a lot ofpreviousTransformersmediauses transformations as simply a tool , where a fomite musical mode is for concealment or move , and the steady form is for fighting , transformer Oneshows Optimus Prime using his transforming powers all the metre in fight , whether to retreat for well location or to pull in an edge in the middle of a engagement .

Optimus ' transformations are n’t just to change between fighting and traveling , but they ’re integral to everything he does .

This is show off the most in his battle with Megatron , where both of them are always shifting back and forth between mode , sometimes even only transforming midway . Optimus brings his cycle up while Megatron is on top of him to get away , he recant his head in a fun callback to avoid a gunshot , and even just uses his vehicle form to head trip and advertize Megatron away . Optimus ' transformations are n’t just to change between combat and change of location , but they ’re intact to everything he does .

4Ion Blaster

But He Doesn’t Use His Iconic Model

Throughout theTransformersfranchise , Optimus Prime tends to use an ion chargeman as his signature weapon , which is take in in most other media , even the live - action picture show . However , Transformers Onedoesn’t showcase this weapon at all , again , as Optimus prefer to fight at close quarters the majority of the time . However , there are still muckle of times Optimus use a gun in the picture show , even if it does n’t look the same as it has in previous looping .

He does n’t have one of his own , instead grab them off of other soldiers , like when he is fend for the High Guard base , or when the radical starts to struggle off Sentinel Prime duringTransformers One’sending . He is never shown to have formal training with any sort of piece like that , which is likely another grounds why he does n’t like to utilize them as his primary weaponry , on top of any moral objections he has to killing first .

3Flamethrowers

They’re Simple But Effective

Optimus Prime ’s flamethrower are another tool in his armory that are used meagrely , but are themselves quite powerful . They are another power that Optimus uses throughout theTransformersseries , and inTransformers Onehe uses them in his concluding fight agaisnt Megatron . They do n’t seem to cause much lasting legal injury , as Megatron is both very brawny himself and all made of alloy , but they do clearly stun him for a moment .

The primary baddie of Transformers One is Sentinel Prime , a formerly benevolent Cybertronian who betrayed the other Primes for a minatory reason .

Interestingly enough , the flamethrower themselves are n’t unequalled weapon , but instead , Optimus bring on the flaming through his actuation jets , and then fool it out in front of him . It ’s a clever way of showing how Optimus uses every tool at his disposal , taking the might he has been granted by his sprocket and matrix and remixing them to use for whatever use he happen to need at any given time . However , Optimus only uses this ability once , likely because while it is an effective deterrent , it wo n’t do any real damage to someone as brawny as Megatron .

Transformers One is an animated action-adventure movie that marks the first animated feature-length film for the series in decades. The film will be a prequel to the franchise, and will tell the story of Optimus Prime and Megatron in their early years, how they met, and a closer look at the war on their home planet, Cybertron.

2Matrix Of Leadership

The Matrix Makes Him The Prime

transformer One ’s Matrix of Leadershipis very similar to how it is displayed in otherTransformersprojects , where it does n’t have any ability on its own , it is only when it is given to someone that they can make employment of its Brobdingnagian power . The Matrix mogul up Optimus to an incredible stage , make him easily the strongest Transformer on Cybertron , asafter he gets it , he is capable to beat back Megatron and the newly - formed Decepticonswithout too much stress on his part .

The Matrix also has powers outside just making Optimus strong , as shown after the battle at the very end of the film , where the Matrix put out the energon once again , leave it to hang throughout the entire planet , and give everyone on Cybertron a Transformation Cog . The Matrix of Leadership is an wing of Primus , the idol of theTransformersuniverse , and so , course , it is one of the strongest artifacts that can be base throughout the entireTransformersworld .

1Energon Axe

Optimus Prime’s Most Powerful Tool

The energon ax is arguably Optimus Prime ’s most iconic weapon , so it is no surprise that it was include inTransformers Oneand give the tucket it deserve . It come along during Optimus ' final battle with Megatron , coming in when Optimus is face a slew of electrical resistance , andallows him to at last and wholly kill the Decepticons . He is shown to not only be able to utilise it as a battle royal arm , but he is also able to discombobulate out copies of the axe to hit targets further off .

The energon axe is a direct representation of the Matrix of Leadership ’s power , and so , by nature , it is one of the strongest tool in Optimus Prime ’s arsenal . In the best action at law vista in the movie , Optimus uses it to slice one of Megatron ’s guns completely in half , ram him to surrender . Transformers Oneshows Optimus with a lot of weapons and powers , but thankfully , it still give his most iconic arm time to shine in the limelight .
