Let’s break it down. Superheroes have a moral code. Optimus has The Code. It’s a whole book. It’s basically the Geneva Convention for giant robots.

He never gives up. He never takes a day off. He even gave up his face once to save a human kid. That’s dedication. That’s more than Batman does for his butler.
He dies. Multiple times. He sacrifices himself in the 1986 movie. Then he comes back. Then he dies again in the live-action films. He’s the Kenny McCormick of galactic defenders.
The Quirky Detail: He's a Dad
Here’s the twist. Superman is a father figure to humanity. Wolverine is a grumpy uncle. Optimus Prime is literally everyone’s dad. He calls his soldiers “my sons.” He gives lectures about freedom while shooting lasers.
He’s a dad who drives a semi-truck and has a laser sword. If your dad did that, he’d be the coolest dad on the block. Also, he’d probably crash into the garage door.
And he hates war. A superhero who hates fighting but is the best at it? That’s complex. That’s Shakespeare with robot parts.
