Optimus Prime has been the Autobot supreme leader ever since the Battle of Iacon when the Autobot High Council voted to place the war effort under direct military command. There was only one choice for this role, the finest Autobot that has ever been made, Optimus Prime. Optimus was originally created not long before the rise of the Decepticon movement in an effort to design the perfect Transformer. The ancient global civilization of Cybertron was breaking up into innumerable rival city states as the Transformer population continued to explode and energy shortages reached crisis point. The ageing High Council was unable to restrain the growing hostility and armaments build-ups taking place. Emirate Xaaron put forward a scheme to encourage the building of a small number of very high quality Transformers instead of the masses of small, cheap models that were being turned out to serve as a workforce for the burgeoning new states. He hoped to create a new level of Transformer able to understand and master the crisis that Cybertron was falling into while also slowing the rate of population growth.
Optimus Prime was not actually intended to be a warrior, Emirate Xaaron wanted him to serve as a proponent of peace and a new understanding and cooperation between Transformers. His original function was as a doctor, repairing down and out Transformers discarded when they became obsolete or were damaged in industrial accidents or brawls. This is why Optimus has such a strong instinct to protect the weak and preserve the lives and dignity of all intelligent beings. His trailer was his mobile medical facility and he uses it to protect and repair Autobots during combat. The hopeful scheme that saw his creation was subverted and betrayed however, all it did was encourage a new generation of Transformers that were intended to be the ultimate warriors and war leaders, including the horrendous misuse of Transformer technology that is Megatron. This is why Optimus has occasionally referred to Megatron as his fallen brother.
Prime's leadership of the Autobots is absolute, he has no form of supervisory authority over him and there is no political mechanism for him to be removed from command. Transformers have no concept of democracy or voting, leaders are determined by their having been built for that function and then asserting their natural talent for command. This is why their leaders are nearly always so far superior to the mass of ordinary Transformers, they were consciously designed for the role and fitted with the very best of everything regardless of cost. Making a Transformer like Optimus costs as much as a battalion of regular Autobot warriors. It is not just the powerful chassis, growing a brain like the remarkable one he has takes an enormous amount of time and care. Every leader represents a huge investment and has to be carefully weighed against fielding a large number of other Transformers.
On Earth Optimus is as determined to win the war for the sake of the humans as much as for his Autobots. While many Autobots dream of returning to Cybertron Prime as leader has to accept that Cybertron is probably so far away across the galaxy after four million years that there is almost no chance of them ever locating it, let alone being able to travel back there. Cybertron is a rogue planet, wandering across the gulfs between stars without any regular orbit. The gravitational fields of immense galactic phenomena constantly pull its path to and fro, making calculating its trajectory for any distance an impossible task even with the computational power and knowledge of physics of the Transformers. By now it is probably thousands of light years away and crossing such a gulf of space would require an amount of time and/or energy impossible to harness. Instead Optimus is focused on making Earth the new home of the Transformer race, it is a hospitable place for them with its moderate gravity and abundant natural resources. First though they have to defeat the Decepticons who are trying to do the same thing. Prime fully intends to share all the wonders of Transformer civilization with the intelligent native inhabitants and is ordering the building of Autobot cities and facilities integrated with those of the humans. The development of Master technology and the binary bonding process he is encouraging as a way to meld the two otherwise very different intelligent beings together (Transformers are by Earth biological standards not a species, or even alive).
