In the movie, what we saw walking about in Dark Awakening was an animated Autobot cadaver. The Quintessons used some circuit implants and some trace memory patterns to convince both the Autobots and what was left of Optimus' brain that Optimus was alive. The Matrix just awoke some other memory remnents, just enough for Optimus' corpse to know what was right and wrong.
So, ignoring the Japanese continuity, yes, he only died once.

Indeed. The bot we know as Optimus Prime (or Convoy in Japan) was bought back in the Victory series as Victory Leo, destroyed, and later brought back AGAIN as Star Convoy in the Battlestars manga. So, I guess that makes 4 times in all the animated continuities.

Well you can't exactly igmore the Japanese continuity, because their version of Headmasters is directly from the US continuity of G1 events.

Is he? I have a hard time imagining Jesus running around with a big gun blasting the crap out of evil robots.
