Nope but he's been reformatted bigger and better than before with the Starsaber as his primary weaponry .

Ugh, I was hoping he'd stay dead for a change.

Are you out of your mind Prime & Megs will always return.

I don't honestly believe that Hasbro is going to have the guts to kill Optimus off again - I'd be pleasantly amazed if they did, though - especially with this show's "dead is dead" edict (Cliffjumper and Skyquake still count IMO).

I'm guessing since he's at the scene that

either Smokescreen will pull an ROTF-Jetfire (which would mean the end of Smokescreen), OR he'll have Optimus cortical-patched into his mind and they'll do an Ultraman kind of thing with him

, thus leading to Optimus' BH form (though personally I'd have preferred a Synth-En transfusion with all the dangerous imbalances it brings)

A great start to the Beast Hunters as this feels like Empire Strikes Back with the Autobots scattered and on the run while the Decepticons rule Earth thus destroying something significant. This is going to be a lot more intense than the 2nd season was.

[The Caped Knight]

Seeing Optimus almost scrap with little optimism left was emotionally to watch. But it going make his triumphant return that much sweeter. I agree with ya Van the Season Premiere felt like "The Empire Strikes Back" vibe.

I saw the next 2 episodes online with the introductions of Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, and Predaking. Really wasted no time in introducing them.

Ultra Magnus is strictly by-the-book type. He's nothing like the Sentinel Prime of Animated, but I see him as a cross between Commander William Riker and Bright Noa of Gundam.

Watching Transformers Prime is like watching these weekly TF movies, but without Michael Bay's touch. You can compare the Autobots and Humans to the Rebel Alliance and the Decepticons to the Galactic Empire. That Decepticon fortress is like the Death Star.

Three episodes in so far season 3 has been great. I get the feeling based off next week preview Optimus resurrection will come at the price of Smokescreen offering his own spark.

Wicked episode, Team Prime is Back and I love Optimus Prime 2.0 with Flight mode. Megs beware PRIME IS BACK and he's not playing around this time.

[Drakepool]

Dang it, I was looking forward to Smokescreen Prime.

[The Caped Knight]

Optimus Prime 2.0

[Jochimus]

It was O.K., though still too much 'one-and-done'ishness going on for my liking (like

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Darkmount being blasted to the ground, the 'Bots bridging Predaking into the Arctic, and Megatron getting whupped into a very brief 'reign' over the Earth

), although Shockwave bridging out could hopefully play into resolving that second gripe. Also didn't really care for Ratchet's full 180 in attitude over the matter of what possible chance they have now of reviving Cybertron...yeah, I'd expect him to be relieved that Op's on his feet again, but I'd think

the Solus Forge now being completely drained

would temper it.

That having been said, though, Ultra Magnus is awesome (voice of Michael Ironside=WIN) - I don't see him so much being a jerk as he's simply more by-the-book than the rest of the Autobots; it'd be interesting to see how his character develops over the rest of the season. Smokescreen's also nicely portrayed in this ep, IMO.

Megatron being finally enraged beyond reason is always a plus, too - and I'm also pleased to see Starscream didn't just pull another of the same old subversive bag of tricks (like running for his life) as things fell apart for the 'Cons - you could see the gears working there, so hopefully he's got a card or two up his sleeve left to play. I can imagine with the series' end looming that Megatron has finally had about all he can take.

His scream of "OPTIMUSSSSS!!!" was awesome.

Cool upgrade, look more and more like the live action movies it seems.
Getting away from that designed for hand drawn look.
Looks like a happy medium.

[Casius--J]

When they revealed the new optimus the first thing I said was man i gotta get that toy lol.

Loving season 3 so far was not expecting an upgrade for prime at all but I'm happy because it was really bothering me when it looked like I would have to see Prime kick the bucket AGAIN!!!
