Transformers: The Movie (1986) - The Death of Optimus Prime[HD]

[zava55]

Fucking Hot Rod...

[202halofreak]

Very sad. Very sad. :(

[gonotgentleman]

Damn you, Hot Rod. You messed up the passing and probably got Ultra Magnus killed.

[MCWAY1]

@gonotgentleman Ummm...Prime DROPPED the matrix and Hot Rod was on Quintessa, when Magnus got blown to pieces.

[gonotgentleman]

@MCWAY1 Maybe the passing had to be a physical one as well. For all we know, Hot Rod touching it made it impossible for Magnus to activate it.

[TheAmazingMisterZ]

Here's a plothole I noticed about this movie: If Hot Rod was supposed to next in line for being a Prime, why would Magnus have a Matrix chamber in his chest?

[TheLordSethonan]

@TheAmazingMisterZ Cos any of them can store the Matrix inside their bodies; but only when they become a Prime their bodies change to accomodate the extra power from the Matrix.

Remember, before the war Optimus went by Orion Pax; and Hot-Rod became Rodimus Prime.

[TheAmazingMisterZ]

Kid Me: NOOOOOOOOO Y U KEEL PRIME?!

Teen Me watching ROTF with much more TF experience: Meh, he'll come back.

What a difference time makes, huh?

[gonotgentleman]

@TheAmazingMisterZ Yeah, this kind of spoiled any and all seriousness to his death in ROTF. Even so, the new movies would never have the balls to kill off Optimus permanently.

This was a calculated risk on Hasbro's part, but it was still a darn good sendoff.

[TheUltmateguy]

WHY!!

[sil3ntm08i0us]

this is hand drawn kick ass animation, especially the shining matrix, and yes I need to rewatch this movie its been too long (so sad OTL)

[elflaco353]

fuck you megatron! :( r.i.p optimus prime :(

[USFfanatic83]

I cried like a damned baby in need of a tittie

[joshbotimus]

This is by far the best and saddest death scene of all time in the Transformers history. The second one is Ironhide's death from Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.

[LAGGYRAGE]

noooooooooooooooo! I haven't seen transformer for over 20 years and now I find out he died......WTF

[maylaconcho]

@LAGGYRAGE Watch the "Returning of prime". He was recoverd by the Quintession, why the Viliant helped repaired him? I wont tell you, just find & watch it if you want to know why.

[123OptimusCrime]

it cant be transformers without optimus prime megatron or starscream

[maylaconcho]

@123OptimusCrime the producer need more new characters to make more money selling toys. Just my thinking

[jmar1973]

@maylaconcho It's not just your thinking,it's a fact. Look up some of the producer's commentaries,and you'll find out that they were doing Hasbro's bidding,pushing off discontinued toys in favor of new stuff.

[EPICGAMEBOY]

The new movie didn't have the guts to kill him!

[draksus]

Best ... death scene ... ever.

[rancorslayer184]

Curse you megatron!!!!!!!!!! >:O!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkavengermanowar]

This killed me back in 1986! :-( Dramatic stuff like this is what makes those Michael Bay films look like crap!

[euan777]

what optimus cant die?!:O:(

[DrMindBender76]

Optimus didnt die in battle; he died of prostate cancer, or didnt anyone see that in Robot Chicken?

[TheAmazingMisterZ]

@DrMindBender76 That is a non-canon parody. Therefore, STFU.

[billruller]

its cool, i cryed in this scene too

[BigRuhail]

@billruller me 2

[gamer3121]

cry cry

[MISCrazyaboutvideos]

This scene was one of the saddest scenes in the whole movie and my siblings didn't understand it when I first watched it with them and I had to explain everything to them and it was difficult. (sniffs a little bit)
