End of the Lineĭuring a trip to the underground ruins of Iacon, Optimus Primal encountered a hologram of the original Optimus Prime, who claimed to have perished in "the final battle", presumably in the Great War. The Oracle kindly gave him a new body (which, believe it or not, was not a new toy). However, his spark was trapped within the Oracle, and the other Maximals convinced him to return to the real world at the start of second season. This would have destroyed Cybertron, but Optimus took the warring energies into himself and disintegrated. (Strangely, the end of the third season of Beast Wars had no Optimus deaths whatsoever! A half-dozen others died, but not Optimus.)

Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)Īt the end of the second season, the Beast Wars Megatron came very close to killing the original Optimus Prime. Other Voices, Part 2 Early in the second season (a few hours later as far as the characters were concerned), Rhinox managed to unite Optimus's drifting spark with a blank protoform, thus bringing him back to life (and in a new Transmetal body, too).

However, his Powermaster partner, Hi-Q, survived, and almost immediately began babbling about how he's really Optimus Prime. Totaled!Ībout thirty issues later, Prime sacrificed himself again to defeat Unicron On the Edge of Extinction! and died. People Power! A previous attempt was made at making virtual Prime a new body. Pretender to the Throne! He got his new Powermaster body two issues thereafter. Afterdeath! We first met this virtual Prime sixteen issues later. Fortunately, the creator of the video game, Ethan Zachary, saved a backup copy of Prime's mind on a floppy disk. The Autobots launched his funeral bier into space.

It's about the most half-hearted death ever. It's not clear that Prime himself noticed it.
