The Birth Of Optimus Prime. Starting out his life as Orion Pax. Witness what happens when he meets the flying robot known as Megatron and how Megatrons betrayal changes Orions life dramatically & starts off one of the greatest rivalries of all time!
Megatron: Who are you?! Optimus Prime: Your worst nightmare. LOL
Well, honestly? Given how many times Prime must have stopped Megatron over the VERY long war... he probably became Megatron's worst nightmare. :)
Yes. Because your worst nightmare shoots at your feet. Killshots are just too easy.

turbokid991 Yeah
"You: who ARE you?!" "YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!!!"
Nick Hentschel LOLOLOLOLOLOL XD I LUV THAT PART IT MAKES ME DIE OF LAUFHTER HAHAJAHAHAH LOL XD
Optimus: you’ve caused enough destruction for one day, Megatron! Megatron: I don’t even know who you are. Optimus: you will.
Yeah we gonna fight for the next five million years then we gonna crash land on earth and wake up four million years later and pick up where we left off
"ONE SHALL STAND! ONE SHALL FALL!". We know who fell and then stood up to Megeatron
To me if we got a transformers Movie done right for Orion pax I could see Jason ritter but when he becomes Optimus prime Have Nick offermen to voice him as he be right for the role
Michael Bay you failed to tell this origin of Prime.
9/30 Studios ikr
The pumpkin King let's hope the 5th one does it.
9/30 Studios They said there going to tell the story of Optimus and Megatron in Transformers: The Last Knight but hopefully they don't ruin it....
InoshiKenshi I'm sure he will
Yep, that's what we're all expecting...
Elita One and Optimus Prime are literally made for each other.
Literally
They share the same power core frequency.
Never question true love. Even between robots. Especially alien LIVING robots.
They were both rebuilt entirely by Alpha Trion.
Need to find my Elita🤖 again.
We can rebuild him. We have the technology . . .
We do?
@@cupcakeprime559 Absolutely 💯 👌
They did rebuild him... Now we have mecha Harambe in the new Transformers movie. :P
More like we can rebuild him. We ARE the technology

1:44 Orion: You, you monster! HhuWaaaaaaa!!!! Meg: Nope...
First Orion Pax is all excited over the new flying robots. Yet, after Megatron shoots him, what does he do? He is high off the ground. How does that work?
he jumped
Khari Roberts There is no way that was a simple jump. There would have been no reason to make thruster noises or move the way he did. Superman moved in similar fashion, sans thruster noises.
George Pierson maybe those thrusters were giving him a boost allowing him to jump so high, and maybe the thruster runs out after a short time so he can't necessarily use them to fly.
Khari Roberts Perhaps they were some sort of thrusters.
Guys, this may well be accidental continuity... but does anyone else remember another time Prime can use thruster boosters to rocket jump? He's always known how to do this :P
It's so weird to hear the Cybertronians call each other robots and not Cybertronians or Autobots or Decepticons.
Lol ikr the script writers didnt have a name for the race at the time.
I mean we also call people "humans" sometimes
@@comicnerd1186 well the term "robots" comes from english. they were from another planet.

he looks kinda gay
"ONE SHALL STAND! ONE SHALL FALL!". We know who feel and then stood up to Megeatron

In the book, Orion Pax/ Optimus Prime was originally a record keeper/ data entry worker in the hall of records in Iacon. He was a librarian basically and worked with Alpha Trion who was the archivist/ overseer there, basically his supervisor..
M McCain thats the transfomer prime storyline
Steveamus Crafter I find the Transformers Prime storyline similar to Star Wars and I find Transformers Prime's storyline very climatic and dramatic
Come again
That's the Aligned continuity.
M McCain I was wondering if anyone else had read this book/books
Optimus Prime = BADASS
william petersen not really that’s more so bee
xxroyal savagexxx: i think optimus is better
Man i rember when this first aired......with the season 2 intro......what a childhood to have back in the 80s you.guys have no idea....
Yeah, but it wasn't all sunshine and treats! Most of the time, the 80s sucked!
That was his original voice!?! That's not what I imagined his voice would sound like.
briansivley2001 well this show was made in the 80's
briansivley2001 well its a young optimus so I guess it's okay
It's a young version of optimus. Peter Cullen, who voices him in the live action movies voices adult Optimus.
isnt it the same guy every time?
It sounds like Smokescreen's voice of TFP
"Just because someone has a unique ability doesn't make them someone you want to know." "Cough" Magneto.
This was actually a time travel episode. The areobots went back to save Orion from Megatron. He remembers that when they travel back forward, saying the line "You five were the ones that saved me."
Then that means in the original timeline (where the 5 Areobots come from), Orion Pax is possibly dead and did not become Optimus Prime in that present? They went back in time, saved Orion and that's how Orion Pax was able to become Optimus Prime?
The time travel plot accidentally created a Grandfather time paradox plot hole for G1. In case you don't know what a Granfather time paradox is, it essentially means that the person who went back in time to change history, is actually the one responsible for creating the current history that said person wanted to change/avoid. This effectively destroys history in it itself by creating a severe time paradox where the future exists because an event from the future will come back to the past to ensure that the present becomes what it is.
@@WatcherMovie008 basically a time loop
@@WatcherMovie008 The way I heard it is, one goes back in time and kills one of his/her grandfathers, preventing his/her own conception, preventing him/her going back in time, thus preventing the grandfather being killed... and this being an infinite loop. There have been proposed solutions to this, which open their own cans of worms.
Orion Pax: me when i was 12. Optimus Prime: me now.

Funny how Optimus just forgot about how Alpha Trion created him in the Search of Alpha Trion episode.
He was so amazed about the booby trap that actually caught boobies
Transformers are not "Robots" in the traditional sense. They don't have ididic memories or onboard memory banks. They're "Brains", "Personalities" and "Memories are based on that of an organic being where memories fade over time. It might also be the case that after 9 millions years of existence that those memories faded away like they do with most humans or there was something Alpha Trion did to Prime later on to make him forget he was his creator for some reason. Like when Rachet in Transformers: Animated erased Arcee's memories to prevent the activation codes to Omega Supreme from falling into Deception hands.
@@chrissmart21 they're inorganic lifeforms
@@demonking86420 but they clearly can't remember everything. It's like when Optimus Prime returned and the Matrix was separated from him. He no longer had the wisdom of their ancient leaders. Just proves like an organic they can forget things happening and like a computer remove data from it. I think if you and I lived 9 millions years we'd forget a few things along the way.
@@chrissmart21 I didn't say "robots" though, what I said is they are inorganic lifeforms, lifeforms nonetheless but having strange nuclides of metalic elements instead of having carbon-based molecules as a chemical composition

true
2:11 blooper Ariel is running with them when she is supposed to be in there with Orion.
'Your worst nightmare!' - such a badass line and clip.
And Megatron is the reason why optimus prime is born, to revenge, no wonder in every transformer movies when three is Optimus prime, there is Megatron, the arch rval,.. Optimus prime vs Megatron is most watched fight scenes among others....
dying constantly is truly optimus's greatest strengths even before he became optimus
1:44 the fuck was that attack lol
*decides to fucking he-man into the air and to lung at megatron's face*
Reminds me of that Charlie's Angels scene in Scary Movie 2, when she does the slow motion, flying kick, and by the time she gets to him, he's just waiting for her with a bat.
transformers the last knight.Its not out but it could be the best because hot rod,nemesis prime and unicron is back baby
you mean revenge of the fallen
Ricajoch its called the shoot me while im vulnerable attack, used only by those who lost somebody in battle so they can join the fight in the afterworld, its all about technique...
OPTIMUS GOT A GIRLFRIEND😂😂😂
Hero DexD his girlfriend turned into a motorcycle in tf2.
Locust Ki113r01 so its arcee?!
Hero DexD no arcee is her sister, there's three of them, Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1.
Hero DexD Orion Pax = Optimus prime Ariel = elita one.
And I thought Arcee had Prime's spark (Optimus' daughter)
soooo Optimus is basicly Captain America?
Legit Real Skeletor yep
Exactly, both are strong but their biggest strength is their ability to lead and rally troops.
Richard Page so why does optimus only have a few hooligans to follow his blue metal ass?
Pass me the salt Please Because the Autobots were and are civil service robots. They were not made for war. The Quinteszons built Gladiator robots like "Sentinel Prime" for entertainment purposes. The most powerful gladiators had statues made after them as seen at "Starscream's coronation" in Transformers the Animated movie. I believe Sentinel Prime taught Optimus how to fight the war and lead the Autobots better.
Pass me the salt Please Because the autobots were losing the war.Plus most cant fly like decepticons so they can't find his metal ass.
Orions voice made me laugh for some reason
Experience is a cruel teacher it gives you the test before the lesson
well said brother ..
Awesome quote.
Mark Pesce that's deep who said that?
2:42 Man, did Alpha Trion sounded young even when he grew facial wire-hair.
I kinda find it ironic that often Good is born from evil and evil is born from good. Does anyone else believe so to?
Well I think it’s more of realization breeds good but I agree good is born from evil and evil is born from good. To me seeing that Orion Pax was naive much like the aerial bots where of the decepticons it was through that realization that Orion and the other aerial bots realized who the decepticons truly are.
I think its more of evil is born from good.
OMG that's amazing!!! Megatron: Who are you?!?! Optimus Prime: Your worst nightmare
who are you? I'm your worse nightmare, Rambo PRIME!

HELLO THERE!
@@jesseyang9320 g e n e r a l k e n o b i
I remember this episode specifially as a kid
War Dawn is probably my favorite episode of the G1 cartoon, not just for Optimus Prime/Elita-1 origin story, but its plot of cocky Aerialbots learning the hard way the bitter lessons of war and stepping up against what you believe is wrong. It's a real standout episode of the original show that really emphasizes character and themes, and is one of those that helps Transformers standout as much more than meets the eye. I also subscribe to the fan theory of Dion being rebuilt into Ultra Magnus.
Alpha Trion is such a Fwd thinker he gave prime an earth robot mode 😅
Too bad they never showed what Optimus originally transformed into.
Obviously a truck
So? There were Decepticons in this clip that transformed from Trucks, why wouldn't Optimus have a Truck for an alt form as well?
In the comics, he was some kind of boxy vehicle.
Geddo Yep, it wasn't till the auto machine in the ship scanned lifeform and machines to change the Autobots just like the vehicles on earth.
Geddo ya
Major nostalgia, I need more.
Optimus Prime's Laser Rifle is basically The Equivalent to a Winchester or a 12 Guage Pump.
Prime took them all out like a Champ. Classic. Best Character ever created...Animated, Visual & Toy.
Good stuff! I remember how excited I was to rediscover this episode watching it again as an adult with my then-young son.
Megaton : you who are u? Optimus prime: I'm Orion pax but better
This clip alone makes me forgive KZhead for all of their obnoxious pre-video adverts. Amazing!.
Damn, puberty hit Orion like a big red truck
Hahaha it's funny because when eventually becomes optimus a big red truck is his alt mode
5:00 till end of video: when you're the best player in the game
Nostalgia 2 ikr
Who’s here after watching the transformers one trailer!!!
I am!
1:46 Megatron looks at him, like, "seriously?" Before blasting him. Lol..
Old is gold
Takes me back to my childhood, =), happy times!
Alpha Trion u da best without u we wouldn't have Optimus prime
Man, i never knew, now i know, optimus prime is the upgrade of orion, man even his voice change of what is now known popular today, much better voice...
Orion Pax was rebuilt into Optimus before becoming a Prime. When he earned the Matrix of Leadership, he became Optimus Prime.
Probably "installed" when being re built.
The matrix of leadership is stupid. Prime is good enough on his own merit.
One shall Stand (Optimus Prime)! One shall Fall 🍂 (Orion Pax)
@@CIorox_BIeachhe did have it before the matrix, the matrix only gives a Transformer a taste of Primus's power, which is still a lot, But you have to be worthy
and that's how Adam and eve were built.
I love how they still managed to managed to convey Megatron's nonchalance in shooting Orion Pax.
+AbyssalZones Yeah, Orion Pax really doesn't know how to fight, and he went for a telegraphed, flashy attack that Megatron could counter effortlessly.
You said "managed" twice.
FTWahid Typos can happen.
AbyssalZones But it would be so easy to just edit that away, so you don't have to hear people like me pointing that out.
"You? Who are you?" "Your worse nightmare" awesome first encounter, 'nuff said
hello humans...
Optimus Prime whassup!
hoi
Hi!
So he put the matrix in him without anyone knowing?
The Matrix concept was probably not thought of until the movie which came out later. Just like Optimus didn't know who his creator was in a previous episode.
+Geddo: The movie should have had a scene where Elita One came with the other female AutoBots to entomb his body. You know you want to see what would happen if she came face to face with Hotrod after what happened.
Geddo the matrix of leadership is much older than the live action movie, and as far as I know of the numerous versions of primes origin this is the only one that dose not feature it. ( I may have missed another one but it would still be in the majority ) It even is featured during the promotion of Rodamus Prime.
Lost Knowledge I think he was referring to the animated movie from 1986.
4:58 Meg: I'll kill you!!! Prim: Nope.
Didn't know aerialbots came first before Optimus. 😊
"Where do you think you came from? Pfft,you think you were born? Hmmm no you were built and your creators wants you back.We all work for someone" -Lockdown
Orion Pax was really pretty before his makeover

Of course one of thee greatest moments that shows how Optimus is the most powerful and best leader the autobots ever had!
hey ultra magnus was great lol um noo no he wasn't kol
gundam fan Ultra Magnus was just about as strong as Prime. But he did not want to be the leader of the autobots. Besides when the 4th season of generation 1. Ultra Magnus was killed off very easily by six shot. Which was pathetic cuz he is much stronger than that.
+smacleod69 i know and in the movie gunned down by galvatron. there is only one true leader
gundam fan Actually in the movie he was gunned down by the Sweeps, Galvotrons henchmen. Not by Galvatron himself. Im die hard fan, and grew up on the original. Im like a grammar nazi.. lol
+smacleod69 and he got confused on when to light their darkest hour, lol. Open got dammit, Open !
Wait, wait wait wait wait, Orion had a girlfriend, what
"Alita 1" Nice reference there 😂
Optimus Prime and Megatron had the coolest sounding guns :D
lol Megatron saying "HELLO THERE!" Like he would be so nice :D
I would rather go with an autobot truck or autobot car over a decepticon jet anywhere and anytime.
Aaah. times when Transformers had some comical elements in the story. And now its just dramatic suspense #ThnxMBay
"ONE SHALL STAND! ONE SHALL FALL!". We know who fell and then stood up to Megeatron
Classic original!
The way Megatron says 'Hello there...My name is Megatron...' sounds like he's trying to lure Pax into a windowless van...
Lacking the van and "free candy" spray painted on the side. Nice try.
@@houseofno He just needs to transform
He had a fleet of them.
Is orion pax actually Optimus Prime ???
Yup, Pax is his real name
@@RogueThousand ok I see thats his younger time I guess
Dion became ultra magnus
Orion Pax- the initials are OP. Optimus Prime- the initials are OP. This pretty much presents "Prime" as being part of his name. Later, with the introduction of Rodimus Prime, "Prime" appears to be a title, not part of their names. The Transformers Generation One cartoon is full of contradictions.
To me Orion was always Optimus Prime. I mean just Optimus he adopted a name that he thought seemed more humbling to him. Orion Pax it wasn’t until he received the Matrix that he understood to that he needs to accept his destiny to be his true self Optimus Prime. I get there’s millions of interpretations but this one to me I like the best.
The fact that those Decepticons are dropkick is just woe
Are we going to talk about how Optimus just sent a whole battalion of Deception to the scrap yard!
❤❤❤ Optimus Prime. The Ultimate Warrior bot
The manly testosterone boost power within this one is over 9000
The voice of Optimus is legendary
5:04 best part
To be honest, I think that the Transformers Prime backstory of Prime is better. It just makes more sense.
ArcOrigin Me too. I love how in-detail it is, like how Megatron started out as a "drone", designation D-16, the he became a gladiator and named himself Megatronus after Megatronus one of the original Primes. He and Orion become friends, but then Megatronus demands the title of Prime to the council, but Orion stands against him and is given Prime hood. Megatronus becomes bitter and creates an army of those who stand against the council, and shortened his name to Megatron. Thus the begin of the war. I love how close they were, but... Megatron's ambitions drove him down a dark path... I can see why he started the war, because one of his best friends went against him.
Razorflame Predacon Exactly. This Origin story just seems rushed and all over the place. It just dosen't make as much sense as the TFP origin story does.
ArcOrigin I like Animated's backstory
Kyle Campbell I thought that was the worst. I hated it. I respect your opinion though.
ArcOrigin I agree
Why did Orion just spontaneously jump in the air to try to attack megatron?
Chris Young he jumped into the orbit
Prime is a fckn beast in this origin story. But as the series went on they made him weaker and easier to take down. This is a great episode. I remember it so well. Transformers is tops for me . I've passed the love to my son. He's also a huge fan.
"Optimus wasn't born. He was goverment issued"
I must ask , how did his beard become bigger in the future, he's a robot not an organic.
it's called "living metal"
Radu Dracula he is an organism
I really missed watching this.
Megatron: who are you Optimus: you're worst nightmare 😂 good joke
When Optimus hoses all of those Decepticon troopers, it eerily foreshadows the movie. Someone needs to rescore this scene with “The Touch. “
who's watching this in 2016?
Sheena Torres not me, I m watching in 2097
lmao i like how they die wen they get shot in the shoulder
Optimus swiss cheesing Decepticons like a boss.
Fav. Episode. This came out two years before I was born!!!!
Me after reading the description: who the fuck would think you owned transformers?
orion had such thick, sexy, luscious robot lips and he was rebuilt to have no lips :(
You don't know. Maybe underneath that face plate, he still has those beautiful lips.
Im pretty that under that mask His face remains the same.
Op lips is you got from this 😅
Damn, this was before being a Prime actually meant something in the Transformers universe.
be had to become a prime and chosen as the leader he was just a regular in this episode and megatrons equal from them on
Optimus prime is the leader of the Autobots he has wisdom and knowledge
