Starscream has created an entry entitled "Optimus Prime".
The body of the text contains the following: There is a version of Optimus Prime discovered here now. He bears a striking similarity to the one I know, though he is much smaller in stature.
If you know of this version, or you have fought him, I want to know about him. All details are to go here.

From: Hellbender Subject: Battle Report on local Optimus Prime.
I briefly fought the individual identified locally as 'Optimus Prime' while retrieving Misfire for repair. His armor is not as sturdy as the Optimus Prime from my reality is reputed to be; I observed Eye-Fire blow a significant chunk of it away. He is quite strong; not as strong as myself, but I estimate his strength to be higher than that of the average Seeker. It is comparable to that of the Wrecker Springer.
He has a grappling claw and line, which he can fire with some accuracy. He also wields an axe; I did not observe if it was energized. He seems to be quite agile in combat, and struck me as fairly bright.
He is also green as grass.

Misfire’s report. Voice recording, no video.
I encountered Optimus Prime while assisting Needlenose in the desert. The Prime chose to concentrate on myself rather than the larger threat of Needlenose, which was slightly surprising at the time. Given that it was, you know, an Optimus Prime.
While he does share basic body style with the one most of us know as Optimus Prime- as well as an overdeveloped sense of heroism and stubbornness- he is much shorter. Shorter than myself, if recall correctly. He also does not seem to posses any firearms or true ranged weapons. If he does, I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have used them on me.
Like Hellbender mentioned, the Prime has a grappling hook with automatic recoil, and is not only accurate with it, he is pretty good at swinging upon it and manipulating it about. I put him through a lot of aerial acrobatics, and not only did he not fall, he managed to keep himself from debilitating damage. The Prime also has an extendable axe, equipped with rocket boosters, and can shoot FIRE RETARDENT FOAM from the same hand that wields the grappler. Heads up, that mess will shut down your engines in a nanoclick. It is also sticky, ruins your paint, and tastes badly. He’s pretty good with the axe, but while it could cut my armour, it couldn’t cut through all the way, so it isn’t anything overly special in that regard.
Speaking of overly special- I held my own against him. (Just a touch of pride slips into his voice.) If it weren’t for that damn foam and the crash damage, he likely wouldn’t have taken me out. Not only that, but I shot and damaged him, when I was aiming at him. Whoever this Prime is, wherever he’s from, he is not the almost unstoppable force that I’ve dealt with in the past. He and I are evenly matched in strength, which became evident during a grapple over his axe.
Fighting him…wasn’t any harder than fighting any other Autobot grunt, except that he’s more tenacious than average. That, and one does have to get over the fact that your fighting Optimus fraggin’ Prime all alone first. He’s either really green, like Hellbender suggested, very young, or the “Prime” designation does not mean the same in his reality.

Voice entry. Early Earth timeframe.
"Mmmmmm. We've let this one fall idle, haven't we? Quite a few Autobots have encountered this Optimus since the last report, and we've even gained a few Decepticons from his reality, including some who are quite familiar with him."
"Here's the deal. In the reality that this Optimus is from, 'Prime' is the title of a rank. A fairly high rank, but not the highest rank available. What's more, the Autobots of this reality are typically not on the same power level as their Decepticons, and are used to having to resort to teamwork between multiple Autobots in order to take them on. Don't let that get you too confident, though. You might want to think of it as their Autobots tending towards the lower half of the 'average' power range that both factions in most realities usually occupy, while their Decepticons tend towards the upper end. Most of us are more used to both sides having a bit more of a spread.
"In other words, don't let yourself get so freaked out that you're fighting an Optimus Prime that you screw up, but don't let yourself get so cocky because you're fighting a weaker Optimus Prime that you screw up, either. He is apparently the one responsible for taking Hook captive, so there is that. Of course, it would have helped if we had known about that really absurd fire retardant foam weakness Decepticons from his reality had. The rest of you from his reality? Get that dealt with. It's really stupid. But anyway, back to Optimus.
"Oh. Make fun of the fact that he was a maintenance tech of some sort before he arrived here. Because that is funny.
"Apparently, he's done a bit better for himself here, as the human news reports are describing him as some fort of Commander of the Elite Guard, whatever that's supposed to mean. Looking at things, they seem to be the Autobots 'Play nice with the humans' squad.
"We actually had a DOA of what looked like another of this particular Optimus, but we're still prodding at that. Well, the leftovers, anyway.
"That's all I've got for now. If anyone has any further news, add it. That's not a request."
