"You Don't Kill Optimus Prime(permanently)"
the second rule of bot club is
"You Don't Kill Optimus Prime(permanently)"
My guess is that there is a reformat in the works
I do hope we get Ultra Magnus on the show tho to go with the toy and the rage of the dinobots tie-in

I'm not surprised OP survived, but I figured they'd keep us in suspense a while longer. Same with Jackie.
General Steves are back!

Holy crap, Predaking is huge!

22 days can't pass fast enough.

7 episodes out of circulation. See him back mid-season. Rebuilt just two episodes prior to three part season finale. Roughly 9 eps until new body debuts.

I mean, f'real! Holy mackerel that is so sweeeeeet!
... Here's hoping that Smokescreen becomes another Rodimus Prime... I don't want to dislike a character voiced by Nolan North.

The episode writers must've been desperate to find a way to "kill the old prime and introduce the new reborn prime later" later instead of just upgrading him after being rescued from the rubble of the old lair.

I don't know about anyone else, but for some reason to me this held more meaning. My gut tells me line is about, maybe not just a new Prime, but a new "Transformers: Prime" based series. Pick a character to focus on then (Smokescreen? Bulkhead and Wheeljack reforming the Wreckers? Who knows...) follow him through his exploits. AS for a new Prime literally, I have this other feeling that Jack will somehow be involved. Just a weird hunch.
Next series: a perfect way to follow up and introduce TONS of new characters to sell- Transformers: Rescue. The Autobots and Decepticons leave Earth to search for more of their kind among the stars. (random thought)

Considering how Cybertron was already dead long before the show even began, there was nothing to lose back when he saved the Earth at the cost of the Omega Lock.BeastProwl wrote:So he's putting "the fate of his kind" above the fate of just one? Would have been a good mindset to have back on Cybertron before he screwed it to save a few kids. I get why he had to, but its made this scene's wording feel a bit out of place.

How long will Prime stay dead?He'll probably just go into stasis lock to keep him online for as long as possible, so he can come back with a new body without dying. Otherwise, they'd be cheapening death by having a dead guy come back to life, which is something the show's creators have been firmly against doing.

Nicely put.

Really? 'Cause the base blew the hell up on his ass. Normally, anyone inside of the blast radius would be extra crispy bacon.
At least he appears to be in better condition than Megatron was after the Space Bridge explosion, since he's aware of his surroundings and he can communicate.

Tougher than this? Thougher than THIS?! He survived the blast that destroyed his whole base with just one shot!
What do you think he is? OMEGA SUPREME?!
Scrap that last line.
It's not the rubble that NEARLY killed him. It was the blast that was seen miles away.
