Dear Vector Prime. How is whether there? I have a question. I now learned that BW Megatron's real name was Galavar before he took name of his ancestor. But I couldn't find anything about Optimus Primal, is it really his very first name, or did he took that name to honour his ancestor? If so, what was real name of Optimus Primal?
Dear Monkey Without Truck,
In many cases, Primal's name emphasizes his reliance on his instincts as a guide to effective leadership. "Prime" and "Primal" are words that sound quite differently in Cybertronix, and it seems to have become a rather delightful pun in some Earth languages. Sometimes, "Optimus" is a Maximal rank inspired by the legendary Autobot leader, and in these cases, it is permissible to augment one's name with this title. Prior names for Primal in these scenarios include "Simius Major", "Kongorion", or "Guerrilla Convoy".
