Many people have many different theories of a hero. Some believe a hero is someone close to you that you can trust; while others believe a hero lies within the traits of a fictional character. I in this case, would have to be a person who looks up to the hero factors in a fictional character. This is because I personally know no matter how many wonderful things you do or have done you will never be flawless. No, being someones hero is not about being perfect, it is about the greater qualities you have to be good. My hero’s name is Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime is known as the lead commander of the autobots. Autobots are the “good” side of the transformers that take their stand against the “evil” transformers, also known as decepticons. Optimus comes from a planet called Cybertron. The planet Cybertron had been existent before human life and ancient times. Millions of years ago the autobots and decepticons had picked sides. The decepticons greatly outnumbered the autobots. Little did they know they could never overpower them.

When terms came to war the decepticons wanted to build a new world, a new life for themselves. Unfortunately this caused a problem because the destination the decepticons desired had already been known to life. Life as we know it. Optimus and the rest of the autobots brought it upon themselves to protect us humans and what we call home. The decepticons viewed all of the autobots as traders of their own kind. Decepticons verbally said we deserve to die and do not deserve the world we live in, when Optimus said “They deserve the right to choose for themselves.” This was said in the movie Transformers Two, The Revenge of the Fallen.

Optimus has saved our world in over three accounts. Transformers has been not only an animated cartoon series but a movie three times called: Transformers, Transformers The Revenge of the Fallen, and Transformers Dark of the Moon. Optimus along with his autobots learned the ways of the humans through satellites and historic studies which makes them common and relative to us humans.

Optimus Prime is important to me because he stands up for what is right. He is kind hearted, strong, and generous. Optimus put his life on the line over and over to save the human race. To me Optimus isn’t just an intelligent robot he is a brave soul who cares more about others than himself and that is not a characteristic you can find in just anyone. It is something worthy of recognition.
