Optimus Primal

What is the lore behind Optimus Primal in Fortnite?

Optimus Primal joined the world of Fortnite as part of the Transformer Set in Chapter 4 Season 3. He is an autonomous robotic being called the Transformers. He is the leader of the Maximals and named after the legendary Optimus Prime. However, there is a beast inside this robotic warrior that would leave the enemies' chests pounding.

This autonomous robotic being is a fierce warrior and an honorable leader. According to the Transformer: Rise of the Beasts, Optimus Primal has a high sense of moral judgment. So, he is willing to sacrifice anything for the greater good. As for the character's appearance, Fortnite used the humanoid model from the 2023-released movie. Those who wanted the transformed beast mode would be disappointed knowing it was not in the game.

Optimus Primal joined Fortnite to celebrate the release of "Transformer: Rise of the Beast". It is only a cosmetic skin that can be brought from the in-game Item Shop. Unlike many Fortnite characters, fans can't meet the leaders of the Primals as a non-playable character (NPC).
