If you look at the opening credits of The rebirth episodes, you will see Rodimus Prime in there. Also at the end of the rebirth when the autobots are cheering after the new rebirth of Cybertron, was that bumble bee? I think they made an error in animation there.

But as far as Rodimus, do you think he was supposed to show up again in season 4? Another possible Optimus Death?

I haven't watched it in a while but it simply has to be an animation error considering the fact that Goldbug is actually in episode 1 of Rebirth(Goldbug IS Bumblebee).

Anything is possible, hell in the Japanese Headmasters series Rodimus was back in episode #3 after Prime died(yet again).

Bumblebee is a mistake as Goldbug is in the very same scene, but two bodies over.

As for Rodimus, it's possible. After all, one of the Duocons is in the opening as well. And he didn't appear in the US toon. They didn't even appear in Headmasters till close to the end.

i like to think that rodimus would have made a return, but maybe in the same way that he became Rodimus in headmasters, so prime doesnt have to die, again.

Its too bad. I wish they would have continued the series... Even now. Get rid of TF: animated, and continue season 4 with Welker and Cullen and lets get our transformers back!

I'd prefer them to pretend the rebirth didn't happen, continue season 3 after the Autobots got Prime back, have the missing (I.e. Not proven dead OUTSIDE OF STORYBOARDS THAT WERE REJECTED, and therefore aren't actually official.) autobots come back, and say they left because of Rodimus as the leader, come back and have more to do with the series and have our mass Chuck-Cunningham-Syndromed Autobots back. THEN move on to Headmasters.

The Rodimus clip in the opening and almost all or the clips were from the toy add's.It was from the Monsterbot add.Even if they were planning to bring him back there's no reason to beleave that there was a hint in the opening.

It was taken from an ad? I thought it was really good animation. I was quickly dissapointed when the episode started though. Damn Akom.

I'm gonna look for this ad on Youtube.

EDIT: Bagh! It aint there.
