He dodged laser fire at his size, so he is also quite agile, not to mention his shield can absorb massive amounts of force and heat

It's from his profile which was given in many TF comic books back in the day. Actually, it states that when OP combines all his modules his strength quadruples, so his full str level is 8,000 tons (100 times that of classic Thing!). Here's the relevant part:[B]Abilities:
Optimus Prime is the strongest (second to Fortress Maximus) and most intelligent of all the Autobots. His strategic, logic and programming have no equal among Transformers. He splits into three components. The "Optimus" module is the robotic sentient being that is the storehouse of his vast knowledge and strength and is most commonly referred to as Optimus Prime. He can lift 4,000,000 lbs. and exert a force of 12,000 lbs. per sq. inch with a single punch. He carries a laser rifle and can burn a hole in the nosecone of a Decepticon jet fighter at a distance of 30 miles. And with his outstanding visual acuity, he rarely misses. His "Prime" module, also known as Roller, is a cart-shaped device that he uses to unobtrusively slip behind enemy lines. He can maintain radio control over it at distances up to 1200 miles. Having Roller present somewhere is like being there himself. He can operate by remote-control his Combat Deck module up to a distance of 1500 feet. The Auto-Launcher mounted on the Deck can use a variety of artillery and radiation beam weapons, including most of those used by his fellow Autobots. The Launcher also includes a highly dexterous grapple-arm which allows it to load itself and change its weaponry. The communications disk antenna mounted on the launcher provides a link between Optimus and all his fellow Autobots within a radius of 50 miles. It can be adapted to a satellite hook-up that increases its effective range tenfold. In robot mode, he can combine with his trailer module and more than double his size and quadruple his strength.Traditionally, the elders of the Transformers race have bestowed upon an individual of great courage and wisdom the Creation Matrix, an intricate program encoded in light patterns within a crystal. The Matrix grants its bearer the amazing ability to help create new life within the lifeless shell of a newly constructed Transformer body. Since the beginning of the Autobot-Decepticon war, an Autobot has typically possessed the Matrix. The most recent Autobot leader to be so honored was Optimus Prime. [/B]
