Trivia
For additional and more detailed information about the character of Optimus Prime from the Transformers film franchise, please refer to the Transformers Wiki Article.
 * Peter Cullen, who voices Optimus Prime in the film series and reprises the role for the ride, also voiced the character in the 1984 animated series based on the toy line.
 * Optimus Prime and the other meetable characters of the Transformers franchise are different from most meet-and-greet characters due to their ability to occasionally speak, and being much taller than the average human. This is most likely achieved with stilts within the costume.
 * At Universal Studios Florida, the Transformers characters speak with prerecorded lines that can be played by the actor within the costume at certain points. For instance, Optimus Prime will sometimes say "Now is the time to smile." when posing for a picture with guests.
 * However, at Universal Studios Hollywood, the Transformers characters speak in real time via a hidden actor, similarly to Donkey of the Shrek franchise at Donkey's Photo Finish.
