What's worst than Optimus wearing dead Jetfire on his back in ROTF?

Optimus wearing a dead Unicron and have his 'decapitated' head as a chest armor.

He's not wearing Unicron himself, Unicron has no corporeal form. He's wering one of Unicron's avatars.

In other words, he's wearing armor made out of rock-and-earth and Dark Energon.

In other words. Dead rocks.

Better question - will Optimus Prime ever be able to fight anybody without a power up? He's starting to have the same schtick as Mario.

U.S. G1 cartoon Optimus Prime and Animated Optimus Prime never combined with another Bot.

Well he was supposed to have his trailer armor in a new season of Animated until they canned it..


It's pretty funny considering that it was UltraMagnus who started the whole power armor thing, and then Masterforce happened and suddenly all Optimus must have some sort of addon in the end.

Hey, I posted this.

Said this already, but...

And now those who complain about the armor combination making no sense from a fictional standpoint can stop complaining for that particular reason:

Granted, this still isn't the cartoon continuity (English or Japanese), but it IS the Japanese Prime toy bio conitnuity, so nyah.

Credited.

It's FUGLY!!!

Yeah, but that, like his Wingblade armor, wasn't a combination with somebody else, which is why I was saying.

Technically, it was originally due to the Powered Convoy figure of Diaclone being an upgraded version of Battle Convoy, so had the Transformers followed in suit, Ultra Magnus's toy might have been an upgraded Optimus.

Well, it is another non-cartoon related but yet useful way to make this and Leo Prime enter the cartoon continuity, since the Dark Energon fate for BB.

G1 Optimus Prime and Animated Optimus Prime never combined with another Bot.

His Marvel Comics counterpart and Japan's Ginrai combine with Apex Bomber and Godbomber.

Apex Bomber was introduced with the Powermaster Optimus Prime reissue, which was based on God Ginrai: the original never had that, so the Marvel comics Prime didn't combine with anyone. And Ginrai is no Optimus Prime despite the appearance, though admittedly the (horrible) StarTV dub of Masterforce may say otherwise.

1. You edited my post to make this point.
2. Ginrai is not Optimus/Convoy.
3. Like JelZe said, Apex Bomber didn't come about until the early-2000s and is a toy-only character without any fiction, therefore Marvel G1 Optimus never combined with anyone.

Actually, Optimus Prime during the 1980s Marvel Comics series had Optimus Prime combine with a Nebulan named Hi-Q. And it was not until another of Optimus Prime's many deaths was Hi-Q convinced that he was Optimus Prime (which was an aftereffect that is tied to a side-effect of being a Powermaster). Plus, there are the animated commercials sporting a Powermaster Optimus Prime. Which means that there is a "animated" version of Prime that combines with another being.

So nyah on him not having some kind of Generation 1 combination!

True. But we meant him combining with specifically another Transformer (or "Bot" as I wrote in my original post), whereas Hi-Q is an carbon-based lifeform.

And, I originally wrote "U.S. G1 cartoon Optimus Prime", which XDMan twisted into just "G1 Optimus Prime", which is more broad than the example I gave. Why he did that, I don't know.
