Optimus Prime
"In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith, days that our allies turn against us. But the day will never come, that we forsake this planet and its people."

- Optimus Prime Optimus Prime was once simply Optimus, leader of the Cybertronian Science Division until it was discovered that he was the last of the Dynasty of the Primes, hidden away when The Fallen betrayed them. After The Fallen corrupted his brother and friend, Megatron, and lead the military leader to seek the All-Spark to conquer other worlds, Optimus took the rank of Prime and vowed to stop him, forming the Autobots to deny the tyranny of Megatron's Decepticons.

After eons of conflict, the All-Spark was jettisoned into deep space, eventually discovered by Megatron on Earth. The rediscovery of the All-Spark ignited the Cybertronian Civil War once again, with Earth as the new battlefield, and Optimus Prime leading a team composed of Jazz, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Ratchet, vowed to defend the humans and their world, leading to the Battle of Mission City, where he personally killed Bonecrusher and watched Megatron die and the destruction of the All-Spark. Initially believing the conflict over, Optimus decided to make the Earth their new home and sent out a signal to any Autobots still wandering the galaxy to make their way here. He helped found N.E.S.T., a joint Autobot-Human paramilitary organization that hunted and destroyed Decepticons in hiding around the planet.

During one such mission in Shanghai, Optimus and Ironhide learned that the Decepticons believed The Fallen was returning, a revelation followed shortly afterward by the resurrection of Megatron by a shard of the destroyed All-Spark. The new, stronger Megatron, Starscream and Grindor assaulted Prime and overwhelmed him, killing him. He was revived through the Matrix of Leadership in Egypt just in time to fuse with Jetfire and kill The Fallen, stopping his plans to drain Earth's sun and leaving Megatron cripplingly wounded. When he later discovered that his predecessor, Sentinel Prime, still lived, Optimus was overjoyed, but when he discovered Sentinel had made an alliance with the Decepticons and planned to enslave the human race to rebuild Cybertron, Optimus was forced to fight and kill him, alongside Megatron, in a battle that resulted in the complete destruction of their dead homeworld.

Optimus Prime's (Movieverse) weapons showcase= This will showcase all of Optimus' weapons. |-| Fists with spiked knuckle duster= Optimus is no slouch when it comes to combat. He is willing to get into a fistfight if it comes down to it. He also is willing to fight dirty with the built-in spiked knuckle duster. That can definitely knock somebody's head in. |-| Barrage cannons= These big cannons can be dual wielded and the laser-sighted barrage cannon fires warheads. Optimus has been seen using these weapons with excellent accuracy, usually landing pretty damaging blows while rolling. (Some info provided by Transformers wiki) |-| Energon blades= Optimus is not only a great gunman, he can use his energon blades efficiently, usually overwhelming his opponents with pure skill. He was able to fend off multiple opponents with these and practically had them all on the ropes for a bit. These two blades extend from his forearms. |-| Energon hooks= Along with the Energon blades, he has the energon hooks if Prime is feeling extra brutal and wants to make sure his opponent is dead, he has a pair of Energon hooks on both of his forearms that he uses to rip his foes' heads in half or he could possibly use it for other purposes as it is a hook. |-| Energon axe= Along with the energon hooks and blades, he has an Energon axe that was only seen used during the fight scene between Sentinel and Prime. Prime had lost the both his arm and axe in the fight, but he did use it to decapitate his longtime rival, Megatron.

Powers and Abilities

 * Transformation: As with every transformer, he has the ability to transform into a vehicle to get around faster and easier. When the situation calls for it, he can transform at will. What he transforms into is a trailerless Mack truck with a blue and red hot rod color scheme.
 * Superhuman Strength: Being a giant transforming robot, his strength obviously exceeds a human's. He is able to throw enemy transformers and hold an opponent down to finish them off.
 * Superhuman Durability: Optimus has been able to take a beating and keep on coming, he can take rounds from high powered anti-vehicle weapons and again, keep coming.
 * Iron Will: Along with being durable, he has a will to keep coming (as said multiple times above), during his fight in the forest against his rival, Megatron, Starscream and Blackout lookalike, Grindor, he was beaten down, but he still kept coming until he was finally killed. In later films, it seems like he was done for, but somehow he kept coming back for more.
 * Expert Fighting Skill and Mastery: Looking at all his weapons, he has a great deal of knowledge of how to use all those weapons with great expertise as seen in the Transformer franchise and use them with skillful efficiency.

Nautilus (League of Legends)


"When consumed by utter darkness, there is nothing left but forward."

- Nautilus (LoL)

Once, Nautilus was a sailor commissioned to explore the uncharted reaches of the Guardian's Sea. This expedition took him deep into unknown waters where he and his crew found a vast section of black oozing liquid that none of the crew could identify. Though their job was to investigate anything new that they found, no man aboard was willing to brave the murk except Nautilus. Only moments after he donned the hulking diver's suit and climbed over the ship's rail, something lurking in the muck grabbed hold of him. He clung to the side of the ship, but the thing below pulled him fiercely, rocking the entire ship. The other sailors grew afraid and made a terrible decision. As he stared and pleaded for help, they wrenched his grip free of the rail. He tumbled into the ink, grabbing the anchor in futile desperation. Dark tendrils enveloped him and he could do nothing but watch as the dimming outline of his ship faded away. Then everything went black. When Nautilus awoke, he was something... different. The great iron suit had become a seamless shell around him, concealing whatever awful truth lay inside. All the details of his memory seemed fuzzy and indistinct but one fact remained clear: he was left here, alone in the sunless depths, to die. In his hands, he still clutched the anchor that belonged to the men who had condemned him. Having no other purpose, he took this clue and trudged - too heavy to swim or run - in search of answers. He wandered without direction or sense of passing time in what felt like an eternal dream. By the time he stumbled upon the shores of Bilgewater, he could find no traces of the man he was. No house, no family, no life to which he could return (Provided by the official League of Legends page)

Nautilus (LoL) weapon showcase= Here I showcase Nautilus' (LoL) only weapon. |-| Anchor with chain= This anchor weighs about 350lbs (158.8 kgs) I'm guessing as it is the smallest amount of chain links I could find. The anchor also has a chain that can be used in a unique: it can be thrown and it can pull Nautilus somewhere or pull Nautilus' to him.

Powers and Abilities

 * Cursed Diving Suit: When Nautilus was abandoned, he was in a diving suit and the black murky ooze consumed him. He woke up and became different; he enlarged in size and it encased him in the armor. The suit is extremely heavy to walk in and he is very plodding in his approach. There is a good reason for it, as he can take a many a blows without even flinching. He took an explosive gunshot from Graves (in-game that's his ult or ultimate ability) point-blank and it didn't even leave a dent. What it finally took to stop him was a rock that extremely large, practically the size of a very large hill. While it was implied that he was killed, he most likely was forced to be immobile.
 * Superhuman Strength: Nautilus has got to be stronger than a normal man. He has to walk in that giant suit and that has to be heavy. Plus he carries around that anchor and he uses it as a weapon. He doesn't swing that slowly either, if we were to go off The New Dawn cinematic, he swung that thing fairly fast. He swung it fast enough for Graves to not react after trying deal with his cigar. He also has to throw that anchor to either pull himself somewhere or pull his opponents to him and he has to do it accurately for it to land. Going back to The New Dawn cinematic, I did some calculations and this is what I came up with, he threw the anchor about a 110 feet, breaking through the middle of two trees at a height of about 22 feet (6.7 m), which was flying at a speed of 8.7 mph and he threw it at a force of 1676 Joules. Also, he threw it accurately enough to kill Jax and that basically left Jax obliterated as he got hit with a force of 876.7 pounds per foot.
 * Staggering Blow:  Nautilus uses his anchor and hits them with it, it then immobilizes his targets for a couple of seconds. This effect cannot happen more than once every few seconds on the same target. (Provided by the League of Legends website)
 * Dredge Line: Nautilus hurls his anchor forward. If it hits an opponent, he drags both himself and the opponent close together. If it hits terrain, Nautilus instead pulls himself to the anchor. (Provided by the League of Legends website)
 * Titan's Wrath:  Nautilus surrounds himself with dark energies, gaining a shield that blocks incoming damage. While the shield persists, his attacks apply a damage over time effect to enemies around his target. (Provided by the League of Legends website) This makes his armor even more durable than it already was before.
 * Riptide:  Nautilus slams the ground, causing the earth to explode around him in a set of three explosions. Each explosion damages and slows enemies. (Provided by the League of Legends website)
 * Depth Charge:  Nautilus fires a shockwave into the earth that chases an opponent. This shockwave rips up the earth above it, knocking enemies into the air. When it reaches the opponent, the shockwave erupts, knocking his target into the air and stunning them. (Provided by the League of Legends website)

X-Factors
 X-Factor Explanations


 * Experience: Optimus had to earn his rank and fight in multiple wars. He has fought a multitude of enemies, big and small and he has taken them down, this was before he even set foot on earth. However, according to Nautilus' biography, before he entered the League, he took out ships and sailors as a way enact his revenge. I think Optimus is a little more skilled.
 * Durability: Now this could be up for debate, as Optimus had to deal with both gunfire from both earth and Cybertron weapons, but he his armor kinda struggled with human weapons but could take weapons from Cybertron. Nautilus, on the other hand, shook off almost everything thrown at him until he was crushed by a very large rock.
 * Fighting Skills: This is something I believe Optimus has a huge advantage over his opponent. Optimus is really skilled when it comes to the weapons he has in his arsenal, while it's unknown how far Nautilus' skill with the anchor goes, he can still use it well if he uses it close range and he throws it well. He also can pull people to him. I do believe that Optimus is better when it comes to fighting.
 * Brutality: If you look at a lot of the kills Optimus did, they're pretty brutal if you put a human in the Decepticons' place, he's ripped faces in half and decapitated heads, he's brutal. Like the last one, Nautilus' brutality is unknown, but he has an anchor and the way he was heading toward Graves, he was going to do something not to light on the eyes.

Author's Opinion
(Note: This is not a vote, this is only my opinion. You can allow it to influence your opinion or ignore it, your choice. This is also not a vote because I feel that is wrong and impractical, but if it comes down to a tie-breaker, it will be used then and ONLY then) This is a toughie, there isn't really a clear winner as it could seriously go either way. If you look at from purely the X-Factors perspective, which plays a huge part in deciding the battle, in my opinion, Optimus has this won from the experience and fighting skills, yet when you go up to their weapons and abilities, Nautilus has stuff I don't believe Prime has ever encountered before with what he can do. I feel like he'll be overwhelmed by the abilities that Naut has and he'll suffer for it. That doesn't mean he'll go down weakly, he'll surely do a number on Nautilus, but Naut will take it here.
