After learning that Clffjumper is not the evil Autobot he remembers, he shoots Cliffjumper and leaves him to fend for himself in the Rad Zone.

Optimus Prime appears in the text-based fiction ''Dungeons & Dinobots''. He commands the Autobots to attacked the Arch-Ayr fuel dump. The attack is thwarted when the main Decepticon forces are augmented by the Mayhem Suppression Squad. When Wheeljack attacks both the Autobots and Decepticons with a massive force of drone Dinobots, Optimus offers to allow the outcast Autobot scientist to rejoin the Autobot ranks if the Dinobots destroy the Decepticons. The Dinobots prove unstable and go on a rampage, attacking everyone - including each other. Optimus punishes Wheeljack by having Ratchet reformat him for Earth mode (painfully) and then assigning him to the ''Ark'' repair crew, on the advice of Side Burn. He punishes Blurr for allowing his heroic Decepticon cousin [[Crasher]] (part of the Mayhem Suppression Squad) to live. When Grimlock returns to the Autobots, Optimus lets him live because the Dinobot has gained a useful intelligence and helps in work on the ''Ark''. | Optimus Prime appears in the text-based fiction ''[[Dungeons & Dinobots]]''.

Megatron is captured by the Autobot Targetmasters in ''Do Over''. When Optimus learns Megatron has been captured, he rushes to be the one who kills his old enemy, despite the closing launch window of the ''Ark''. When confronted by Optimus Prime, Megatron attempts to use the Autobot Targetmaster Nightstick to shoot the Autobot leader, but [[Nightstick (Transformers)|Nightstick]] takes control of Megatron's arm. Megatron then tricks Optimus into using Megatron's own sword to cut Megatron's hand off, freeing him from Nightstick. Optimus fails to kill his foe and misses the launching of the ''Ark'', which has been taken over by Rodimus. He then takes out his anger on Blurr. | Megatron is captured by the Autobot Targetmasters in ''[[Do Over]]''.

In ''Reunification'', Optimus is seen building his new ultimate weapon, [[Omega Doom (Transformers)|Omega Doom]]. He learns that Megatron has supposedly been killed by watching a broadcast from the Autobot reporter [[Rook (Transformers)|Rook]]. When Kup leads the Autobots Camshaft, Hound and [[Warpath (Transformers)#Transformers: Timelines|Warpath]] in an attempt to assassinate Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader easily defeats the four rebels. [[Alpha Trion#Transformers: Timelines|Alpha Trion]] then attempts to kill Optimus, but Optimus uses Omega Doom against the ancient mech. Prime then sends Doom against the Decepticons. | In ''[[Reunification]]'', Optimus is seen building his new ultimate weapon, [[Omega Doom (Transformers)|Omega Doom]].
