Why Optimus Had the Prime Name Before He Got the Matrix. In most of the iterations of the Transformers universe, the Matrix is a powerful artifact that channels the power of Primus and contains the combined wisdom of the Primes. It's a symbol of leadership that’s usually wielded by the Autobot leader, who is deemed worthy by Primus and given the title of Prime. But for some reason, in the Bayverse these rules don’t seem to apply. Optimus Prime referred to himself as a Prime from the start of that continuity. Even though he wouldn’t be chosen by the Matrix until Revenge of the Fallen. Leaving many fans to question why. And I have an answer. Before we knew Optimus as the strong Autobot commander. During the Great War Sentinel would try to convince Optimus he was a Prime. But Optimus was nothing more than an archeologist who lacked the conviction to fight. However, he would later discover that he was linked to the Primes by way of an artifact. Which matched a symbol that was found on his helmet. Motivating him to fight and embrace the name.
