    Ah yes. The episode that further traumatized kids with Optimus's death

  • @dontemorgan1517
    @dontemorgan1517 2 роки тому +20

    This episode is perfect for a halloween episode. First, how stupid of the Autobots built a tomb ship far from Cybertron instead of being on cybertron where it should be. Second, it's pretty cool to see Rodimus vs Optimus. And finally, this traumatized kids even further not only a Zombie Optimus but they have to kill him again. This was so bad that they have to bring back Optimus Prime again and this time he stay alive and become leader of the autobots again.

      till the japanese series killed him off again. and the tomb ship that could be so the decpticons couldn't destroy the tomb because we know they will disgrace the dead like that. plus it also prob to prevent it from getting damage during the war

      @@frankspick7544 Yeah now sure what was that about in japan for killing him off again. Still the tomb should have been on cybertron since the autobots had gain control of the planet.

      That’s weird yeah because the Decepticon tomb is on Cybertron 🤔 why didn’t the Autobots put the dead in another place on Cybertron inaccessible to the Decepticons or anyone but Autobots and why did they entomb them standing up it seems strange but I seen the Decepticons tomb they are standing in the area like statues

    Hasbro really wanted to shut people up about Optimus so they brought him back.
    Only to make him evil and kill him again.
    That totally didn't backfire and make people more angry

      Quite frankly this episode literally rubbed salt on the wound I felt when I watched the infamous death of Optimus Prime scene from Transformers the Movie. I hated that Hasbro literally killed Optimus just because of the fact they thought he was a toy, not realizing he was an important hero to the children of time. This episode was a horrible reminder of that scene and I really hated it. At least they brought Optimus Prime back proper in the Season 3 finale.

    Since the movie didn't air in my native language between season 2 and 3, this episode taught me a lot of what had happened in between.
    Also I remember being horrified at the sight of Optimus Prime's face being ripped off.

    This was one of my favorite Transformer episodes when I was a kid. I loved the sheer creepiness of it. I also loved the sacrifice Optimus made at the end ( Note: I was a little older [ie, late preteen] when I first saw this. Admittedly I was a little sad, but Optimus Prime's second death did not traumatiize me too much.)

  • @tempviam
    @tempviam 2 роки тому +6

    You know, one thing that needs to addressed...
    The parts needed that Optimus used to make his own spaceship.
    And then later on when the rest of the Autobots did their "Improvisation"
    I mean, I don't think there's an Advance Auto Parts store on that Mausoleum!

    1:55 tbh that’s actually a really cool name for a decepticon ship not gonna lie and this was definitely one of my favourite episodes in the original transformers series it definitely really creeped me out as a kid especially seeing optimus before his 2nd death definitely say it’s one of my favourite episodes in the original series

  • @russellharrell2747
    @russellharrell2747 2 роки тому +5

    I’m surprised they aired it, since the backlash from the movie was almost immediate, but I guess they had a schedule to maintain and they couldn’t replace the episode and still keep up with producing enough for the season. The two parter return was still considered part of that season so I dunno.

      She would be glad to have him back. But be shocked of what the Quintessons done to him. She would even fight him alongside Hot Rod. After giving the Matrix back to their son like figure. Elita tells Optimus that this time, they’ll died together to save their family. Corse, she too would be revived in The Return of Optimus Prime.

    ( Technically Hot Rod defeated Optimus Prime ). Dark Awakening was good. Got to admit that the Quintessons plan this. It shown in Optimus's Flashback that the Quintessons want to use Prime but knowing that he becomes a zombie ( by using their circuitry implants ) they figure that have him destroy some of the Transformers ( Especially Galvatron ) in order to retake Cybertron.

    @Widow-Maker2k23 11 місяців тому

    I think this episode was creepy and disturbing but interesting because it gave closure to the autobots who died in the movie. It’s puzzling why the autobot bodies are entombed standing up but Optimus Prime body is laying down in a very vulnerable coffin in a room by himself not an enclosed tomb area where anyone in the tomb can have access to the body of Optimus Prime 🤔 the dead autobot that almost fell on Daniel sure looked like Windcharger 🤔 in ways except very rusted and gray and very spooky looking the eyes and face the damage to the body was visible. Optimus Prime is clearly visibly dead still looking very damaged and rusty decomposed from years of laying dead in his tomb and only semi functioning back to his red and blue not that death gray he turned when he died but because of implants by the Quintessons and he has all the damage inflicted on him from his fight with Megatron that he lost tbh since he got killed and Megatron lives on as Galvatron

    Probably one of the worse episodes, the series already traumatized kids with the brutal deaths of their favorite autobots, and Optimus coming in at the very last major death, but here comes this episode, they resurrected him and at the end of the episode then have him blown up, but not before traumatizing kids again and make him turn into a robotic revenant, y’know..trust the process, I’m sure parent’s reactions of this death were going to be perfectly normal considering the last supporting reactions of the death from the movie.
