I heard stories about people from 80s who grew up without their fathers and when they saw Optimus Prime in TV they saw a father figure in him so Optimus' new memories of him taking care of a kid is probably how these people without a father saw Optimus all along playing with them and most importantly be there for them...I wonder If that was the inspiration for the writer

You have to remember that this is an Optimus who is essentially running on fumes. Both him and the matrix are severely depleted after going through countless battles back-to-back, refusing to be repaired time and again to give other autobot the chance to be healed instead, etc. Right now, this story is showing that even with next to nothing left in the tank, Optimus is still a beast. In other words, the authors are by no means underscaling Optimus or the matrix, they're just portraying a low point. Given how they've written Optimus thus far, I'm sure that he'll be on absolute demon timing when we do see him at full power in this continuity.
