It's an interesting concept. Already done by this point, but it would leave room for Ultra Magnus to run in here and replace Optimus.

It would be nice, but do you really think they'll decide to replace Optimus?

He already has two confirmed toys, and ..well, he keeps coming back. In every continuity.
Always.

It would be nice to have him dead, for once.

It's not like Optimus is going to stay offline. Why not have a temporary replacement?

I like that idea. Give the man a biscuit.

Who sAYS Optimus is even dead? I sure wasn't convinced by that ending. Death is death in this show, and Optimus is too crucial a marketing device character to just kill off.

Optimus has a way of not staying dead however.
Seriously, name a continuity in which he didn't die. I think RiD would be the only one, and he very nearly died at the end, saved only by some last minute, off-camera deus ex machina.

On my part, it's wishful thinking.
I'd like him to be dead, or non-operational in some way.

They managed to bring Orion back in the current IDWverse (and Megatron), I'd like him to disappear here.

This show is different, though. Death is never sugar-coated nor reversible in this show, and both it and its creators have been adamant about that point. No character who has died in this show has ever undone their death.

Ergo, I highly doubt Optimus died in that explosion. He's unconscious, yeah, but likely just in critical stasis.

I think Optimus should be in a coma-like state for about half the season, like Megatron was, and bring in Ultra Magnus to fill in. And then keep him on once Optimus revives.
