Minor role

The older brother of Optimus Primal, gets killed by a unknown predacon as we know.

Apelinq was a participant in the close of the Autobot/Decepticon wars specializing in scientific research, particularly computer xenoscience, in Cybertron's new peacetime economy. But in due time, he was called by the Maximal government to lead the resurrection of Cybertron's legendary strike team, the Wreckers. Known for his genius battlefield tactics, Apelinq is a bot of ideas who would rather outwit his opponents than destroy them with brute force. His years in research have jaded him against more spiritual thinking. He doesn't trust mysticism. Apelinq tends to micromanage, to his detriment, and, thanks to his solid confidence in his own abilities, he can get in over his head.
