One interesting story could be about a human who gets chosen by Optimus Prime to be his liaison on Earth. The human helps Optimus understand the complex social and political situations among humans better. They form a deep bond of friendship and together face off against the Decepticons who are trying to manipulate human leaders.
In some fanfictions, a young human mechanic is the one who discovers a way to upgrade Optimus Prime's systems. This gives Optimus an edge in battles against the Decepticons. The human and Optimus then embark on a journey across the world to find ancient Cybertronian artifacts that could potentially end the war between the Autobots and Decepticons once and for all.
There might be a fanfiction where a group of humans discover an injured Optimus Prime. They nurse him back to health in secret. In return, Optimus teaches them about Cybertronian technology and culture. This knowledge helps the humans in their own technological advancements, and they join forces with Optimus to protect the planet from other threats.
In such fanfiction, the story could take many forms. It might start with the human getting involved in the world of the Autobots. As the relationship develops, there could be moments of self - discovery for both the human and Optimus Prime. For example, the human could learn about courage and self - sacrifice from Optimus, while Optimus might come to understand the fragility and yet the strong will of humans.
One idea could be that Optimus Prime turns into a human mechanic. He uses his knowledge of machinery from his days as a Cybertronian to revolutionize car repair in a small town. People are amazed by his skills and he secretly uses his new form to keep an eye out for any Decepticon threats.
One plot idea could be that the human reader is a mechanic who accidentally discovers a hidden ability in Optimus Prime. While working on him, they find a new energy source that only reacts to the human's touch. This leads to a special bond between them as they explore what this new discovery means for the Autobots and their fight against the Decepticons.
Writers often develop Optimus Prime as a wise and noble leader. They show his strategic thinking in battles and his moral compass when dealing with humans. For example, he might make decisions that protect both his Autobot comrades and the humans at the same time. Bumblebee, on the other hand, is usually portrayed as more youthful and energetic. His beeping and use of radio snippets to communicate add a unique charm. Writers might have him be more impulsive at times, especially when it comes to protecting his friends, whether they are Autobots or humans.
One common theme is the idea of the forbidden or unexpected relationship. Given that Optimus Prime is an alien robot and the human is, well, a human, their relationship defies the norms. Another theme could be mutual protection. The human might be in a situation where they need Optimus' protection, and in the process, a deeper bond forms.
Perhaps a fanfiction where Grimlock is initially distrustful of Optimus Prime's more diplomatic approach. But as the story progresses, they learn from each other. For example, Grimlock could teach Optimus about the value of brute force in certain situations, while Optimus could show Grimlock the importance of negotiation. This would lead to a stronger bond between them and a more united Autobot force.
One idea could be an Optimus Prime crossover with the Transformers: Beast Wars. Imagine Optimus Prime interacting with the Maximals and Predacons, and how his leadership style might contrast or blend with that of Primal. Another could be a crossover with a superhero universe like the Avengers. Optimus Prime could team up with Iron Man, and they could exchange technology and strategies.
Well, a cool crossover would be a race - related one. Optimus Prime is known for his speed in vehicle mode. He could participate in a race in the RWBY world, perhaps against some of the high - speed vehicles or characters there. This would not only be an exciting event but also a chance for the two different universes' cultures to clash and interact. Also, there could be a story where Optimus helps RWBY characters understand the concept of teamwork in a new way, based on his own experiences with the Autobots.
Perhaps a fanfiction where Bumblebee gets severely damaged in a battle. Optimus Prime then has to take on the role of not just a leader but also a mentor to help Bumblebee recover both physically and mentally, and in the process, they form an even deeper bond.
One interesting Optimus Prime fanfiction could be about his origin story in a different universe. Maybe in this story, he was created by a group of ancient beings with a unique purpose.
