"I am Optimus Prime. The future has chosen me as the champion of the past. Such is the knowledge that I have finally been granted by the Matrix. In what was my darkest hour, when my spirit was crushed, when the Great War had all but erased my spirit, Primus came to me and told me of His great design. This beautiful story touched the embers of my darkened heart, and in a single moment, I was transformed. Now, I record these words for all generations to know ... to know that all suffering has its place. All misery has purpose. In the end, or perhaps even before, the Great Champion of Light will be there for you. Now I will tell you a story, and the story begins with a young boy lying in bed, crying out for destiny to bless him with its glorious embrace. Here is his coversation with Primus." 1
