in the G1 cartoon you could say that, as he never has any substantial air time

In the G1 Marvel comics he was sort of a control freak who loved rules

his toys are cool though

he is driven by logic according to his Tech spec

as for your second question

there is an R.I.D version of Optimal optimus, i guess he would be from the RID future, but i cant remember if he is actually Bw optimus dimension hopping/official retcon
