Unfortunately, after it became apparent that the entity of "Pepsiman" was a raving lunatic, the Autobots felt compelled that Pepsi Prime must be sent to stasis until his 'kinks' could be worked out. Prime's reputation had been tarnished, as the civilian population assumed that Pepsi Prime was the same entity as the Legendary Optimus Prime himself!
The Decepticon Soundwave learned of this, and secretly radioed Pepsi Prime while he was out on a "Goodwill Ambassador Mission" in the desert, informing him of the Autobot’s plans to “Deactivate him”. Pepsi Prime lost it, went haywire, attacked the Autobots that were accompanying him, and escaped into the night.
When Methusalen, leader of the "Hellfyre Inc." discovered him in the deserts of the Southern United States, he convinced him that they were not his enemies and relayed the story of the Autobot’s betrayal of him and his squad. Pepsi Prime accepted Methusalen’s offer to join with Hellfyre Inc. and has since been teamed up with his new friend and partner ‘Coca-Cola Convoy’.
Abilities: His features and voice match that of Optimus Prime, and since the Autobots (and PepsiCo) haven’t announced the defection of Pepsi Prime, many humans (and the occasional Autobot) believe him to be the REAL Optimus Prime!
Weaknesses: Pepsi Prime is actually malfunctioning, he is quite literally insane! His new ‘friend’ Coca-Cola Convoy is actually a “Sanity Maintenance Engineer” assigned to keep Pepsi Prime’s lucidity levels within check, lest he 1) Realize what he’s done and realize the true impact of his action and either turn himself over to the Autobots for deactivation, or 2) loose too much sanity and become a useless lump of burbling psychosis, or worse- a hazard to any Decepticon nearby. Pepsi Prime still takes to the world on his “Goodwill Ambassador Missions”, only now it’s for the cause of promoting “Hellfyre Inc.”. These missions make him visible to the Autobot forces, and as such, have placed him and Coca-Cola Convoy in jeopardy of being caught or ambushed by the Autobots trying to get Pepsi Prime back.
