The Death Of Optimus Prime

[ultimategoku17]

This F-ed me up as a kid.

[smohr]

Has anyone pointed out that Ultra Magnus gets fuckin' owned by Galvatron and blown to pieces, but they "fix" him and he's fine, but Prime gets shanked and it's all over? WTF

[Mariamus]

@smohr Well, in retrospect, Megatron probably hit some really vital part on Optimus, while Ultra Magnus was torn apart in the joints.

[spartan117ism]

R.I.P Optimus T-T.Missed you !(*Continuous Sobbing*

[RebeccawasMURdERD]

NOOOOOO!! dont die optimus!!! TT___TT

[McDeop]

This is shit but the movies are fucking awesome.

[tpb122298]

@2823peyton I agree optimus did have enough time but it doesn't matter considering he comes back the next season

[TitanDweevilMassacre]

Is it bad that I came here to see comments whining about how the movies suck, and blame Michael Bay, even though he just directed them?

Not that G1 sucks or anything.

[Nitrofrost2]

WAHH!!!! *sobs* I watch this at school and cry in front of everyone!!!! DAMN WHY DOES HOS DEATH HAVE TO BE SO DAMN SAD FOR ME!!!!! *sniff* OPTIMUS!!!!! *bawls*

[spartan117ism]

Almost like Singaporean's I'm Not Stupid Too about Changcai's father's death.

I am touched

[2011linkfan]

And he never came back from that one...I hope they don't redo this to make it into the 4th transformers movie...wait, they can't. Starscream's already dead, and so is Mega-twit, so that wouldn't work....okay then

[sjcobra84]

PRIME!!! NOOOOOOOO, DAMN U MEGATRON

[Doubledealer25]

i still cry to this day.

[Fanik10]

If you were a kid and watching this in the theater and you say you did not cry at this scene, you are a liar and someone I would not in trust 6 cents with!!

[daviswm]

This is easiest the most emotional scene of the entire movie since our favorite hero dies.

[TheMrguapboy]

I dnt get it wa happened after that

[jacobparasite]

Watched this film like 100 times, still don't know what go's down at 2:05

[Fanik10]

@jacobparasite mistake in animation

[jmac9028]

Jees he's a truck throw wn engine in em and move one

[finalfuse451]

2:05 puts it in takes it out puts it back in lol

[kingsofcons]

when he die say screamed noooooooooooooooo for 4 hours then son a of bi**h

[2823peyton]

Given the commercials left a ton of hints that Prime was going to die, I wasn't really surprised when this scene came up. (Probably one of the reasons why I didn't cry). But I didn't think his own idiocy was going to get him killed. SHOOT FIRST! TALK SMACK LATER, PRIME!!

[SwiftRiver987]

@2823peyton Hot Rod was in the way! Did you expect Optimus to just shoot Hot Rod two?

[2823peyton]

@SwiftRiver987 I could go on about how Optimus had plenty of time to finish off Megatron before Hot Rod evn got there (20 seconds is a lot of time), but as far as the likes of you are concerned it was Hot Rod's fault. On another note if Prime had survived, the Rodimus Prime toy would have been pointless.

[5000Demonik2]

When optimus died in Bays version, i didn't care.

When optimus died in the original G1 movie,

im certain i shed a tear or two.

[bramderacourt1]

the first of many times....

[0NightHawk0]

@bramderacourt1 Actually.....he had already died in the comics long before the movie was released and it was a pretty shitty death too honestly.

[Owlsandwich]

It was horrifying! Primes turbo were hesitating... His sylinderhead were twisted and oil were falling on the floor... We just couldnt find any store who were selling sylinderheads!

Two weeks ago mechanics fix'd him up but that idiot installed third pedal he called some kind of "clutch"!

And this video is about his last moments after that idiotic mechanic installed the "glutch"...

[lohagoskissos]

OVER 1.000.000 VIEWS!!!!!

[rapingurchurches]

at least he didn't die alone unlike how real people do.

[ExpelliarmusMe]

And then I realized robots can't die.

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

@ExpelliarmusMe It is not about robotics, it's more about the soul.

[93gmike]

At 0:32 I thought optimus was going to cry.

[skyfalco2]

i remember as a kid this scene never failed at making me cry...

[granlordEstmax]

aun me acurde de cuando vi este episodio cuando era aun un pekeniio niniio llore al verlo y verlo de nuevo trajo viejos recuerdos jajajajajajajaja fijo ke gran episodio

[killgasms]

OMG HES NIO FROM THE MATRIX

[babbs777]

The deaths of Optimus Prime in 86 and Dinobot in Beastwars, were two of the most moving moments in the entire franchise. I will cry every single time I see either one.

[Khran1505]

Despite the controversy, this was the best move made by Hasbro. Not only did they and Peter Cullen discover how much people loved Optimus Prime, he also got an EPIC send off.

23 years old and I still cry at this video.

[Zalentz]

A part of my childhood died when Optimus Prime died T_T

[mblizmi]

WHY RODIMUS?! WHYYYYYYY! YOU MADE OPTIMUS PRIME NOT ABLE TO SHOOT! YOURE LUCKY HE DID'NT ALMOST SHOOT YOU!

[animebattlemage]

Hot rod shammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[primojr2012]

the second i seen this video i got an immediate flashback of my childhood and a tear came to my eye

[joselui120db100]

My dad gave me this movie in videocasete when I was a kid, best animated movie of all time

[cooltoys100]

even hot rod feels sorry. I guess he feels its his fault. thumbs up if YOU agree.

[Lambothecuteness]

When I was a kid I saw this movie and I cried ): I always cry when I watch this movie ): And I hate Hot rod it is all his fault!

[llchambers100]

More heart and soul here than in those three awful Bayformers pieces of shit combined.

[MrMandude365]

@llchambers100 While that is true, "BayFormers" are wicked awsome. Why do G1 fans hate it? I am a G1 fan and I love it. You may not see it but the movies have a lot of G1 referencess.

[TheSethCypher]

@MrMandude365 I didn't like the Bayformers simply because they tried to mesh Transformers in with, what appeared to me, rushed or little script writing. Just because the movie made alot of G1 references doesn't necessarily mean it'll be a good thing.

[MrMandude365]

@TheSethCypher So they are better written than any g1 episode. I just don't see the problem. What is so bad about "bayformers." I hear a lot of people say that the plot is poorly written but I don't see it so can you explain it.

[chizzmaster123]

I'm thirteen. I'm a girl. And I cried my eyes out. Is that bad?

[Kalatos]

@chizzmaster123 Nope. It's completely normal. I was eight when I saw this and was crying in the theater when it first showed.

[RoninAquila]

@chizzmaster123 No Young Lady, it shows that you still got a soul.

[J88Wolf]

Where the hell can I find this movie?! >_O

[Solidus0508]

dude, a new coat of paint and wax and about 400,000 d batteries, he would of been good as new. also, i like how ultra magnus already had a slot in his robotic makeup to fit the matrix of leadership...you'd think that they would go thru a reconfigure or something to fit it. it isnt like arcee or perceptor had a slot. i know hot rod touched it, so that would make sense. still though, it would of been cool if magnus did change, at least a little bit.

[Gracechild24]

@mymalovenaka Its okay buddy, I cried too when I saw Optimus die, but its okay, cause he gets better!

[ferraristig1]

Couldn't they get the junk bots to rebuild him like what they did with Ultra Magnus?

[ComicPhreak]

@ferraristig1 They couldn't revive him, even Wreck-Gar said it when Rodimus brought Prime to him in "The Return of Optimus Prime".

[mymalovenaka]

I am 10 years old and this made me cry (;

[Conner3030]

@mymalovenaka don't feel bad little dude i was about 10 when i saw it and it made me cry too

[Scott111188]

@mymalovenaka I'm 28 and I still cry.

[TeeComedian]

This is why you should get regular prostate exams!

[roboguy75]

To be honest, it's still sad, but what about the ending of the iron giant? That too is a big emotional tear jerker

[MrLEEMS]

Manly tears.

[ACowSaysMuu]

Oh man, this scene always made me laugh! Classic comedy! Thanks for the upload!

[TheMeowmeows99]

@ACowSaysMuu Gtfo.

[laylaydanicer]

Kids who are who ing this at the time in the cimam they will of cried

[trevelian23]

The saddest day in my childhood was the day that I saw this movie in theaters. Never should they do that to a kid...

[iamgig9876]

and then comes back one season later

[optimuswhat]

Brawn was shot in the shoulder and he died, but in the shoe he got shot in the head TWICE and didint die.

[optimuswhat]

The whole point of the movie is to replace the old characters with newbies.

[maikorage444]

Killed once in the cartoon, shame on you! Killed again by Micheal Bay, FUS RO DAH!!!!!!

[vegito129]

was this supposed to be series finale



[GojyotheFeared]

@vegito129

No. unfortunately this took place in a movie that came out between seasons 2 and 3.

In fact, I started watching season 3 without realizing this and became utterly confused only to find out things take place in the movie that don't take place in the actual series and yet the third season incorperates ideas from the movie into it.

To a newcomer to transforemers, this can be utterly confusing.

[ChiQuii181]

Optimus Prime relive in the next video

[spartan117ism]

If you want him to be revived.Like this and watch the return of Optimus prime

[megekimmel]

whats that? im not crying! no its just an oil leak i swear!...... *sobs*

[cackedmypants45]

this is sad but why give the matrix of leader ship to hotrod i would give it to magnus

[GojyotheFeared]

Which episode was this from? I watched all of season 2 and started on season 3 and became so cofused when Rodimus Prime was in charge.

I was like, "WTF? what happened to Optimus?"

[michaelhviper]

@GojyotheFeared This is from Transformers The Movie.

[GojyotheFeared]

@michaelhviper

Yea, I realize that now.

It kinda pisses me off too.

I watched the movie which kinda clarified things with how a bunch of the characters died, but that's not really what pissed me off.

What pissed me off was how small of a time frame it happened in and how little they reflected on it except for Prime. I mean, they never took more than a quick second just to show their bodies and that was it.

[chillinmc]

Optimus Prime famous statement, "One day an Autobot shall rise from our wrecks." Let me rewrite it, "One day a real black Republican shall rise from our wrecks to defeat a black Democrat Barack Obama, and become the newly elected US President 2012 his name is Herman Cain."

AUTOBOTS = REPUBLICANS VS DECEPTICONS = DEMOCRATS

[GojyotheFeared]

@chillinmc

Oh please. It was because of a republican that we had a mess to start with before the 2008 elections.

Not defending Obama or anything even though I voted for him, but come on dude, you're really trashing the transformers series by saying that shit.

[chillinmc]

@GojyotheFeared, It's funny how a gullible person like you would reply on my comment of Optimus Prime's Death. LMAO! Yes, you are defending gullible Barry Obama aka the socialist clown. Since you stated that you voted for him. But what about the so-called "HOPE & CHANGE?" After Bush left the WH? It's almost 3 yrs now? No don't see it. Just for laughs: Autobots/Optimus Prime = Republicans vs Decepticons/Megatron = Democrats

[GojyotheFeared]

@chillinmc

and I also stated that I disaprove of how he's run things thus far.

Funny how you call me gulible yet don't realize your own idiocy.

[chillinmc]

@GojyotheFeared, LOL you're really funny!

[GojyotheFeared]

@chillinmc

Coming from someone who doesn't know the difference between voting your party 3 years ago and feeling discouraged with the progress thus far, I'll take that as a compliment.

[chillinmc]

@GojyotheFeared, Hey shit happens for your "HOPE & CHANGE" idealogy from this current naive US President. While you can criticize me about my unintelligence on this youtube video comments. But no worries at all b/c I'm not offended by your comments. LMAO! Again you're really funny person. FYI, I purposely wrote on this Optimus Prime's Death video to wait & read if any youtubers, who want to put in their 2 cents on it. Good Bye!

[GojyotheFeared]

@chillinmc

Lol, you are too much.

you think you're trolling, but you're not.

your idiotic attempt at humor is just astoundingly terrible that you have to laugh at it. Not because it's funny, but because it's just so terrible.

[chillinmc]

@GojyotheFeared, Trolling? What is that word definition? I'm assuming that "trolling" is an old Europe expression aka Socialist rhetoric. LOL! Anyway, I'll be waiting for your reply. Since you love my comments.

[GojyotheFeared]

@chillinmc

You are an idiot than.

Trolling is a widely used tem in the internet realm to describe someone who goes from one video to another to leave stupid comments about the video or video subject matter without any logic simply to get a response and/or rile people for no other purpose than their own sorted amusement.

Hence you=troll.

[chillinmc]

@GojyotheFeared, Ok dude. Do you wanna take me to court? So we can dispute this "TROLL" word to the judge?

[GojyotheFeared]

@chillinmc

Keep on trolling dude.

You and I already know that you are a troll. Keep posting and everyone who clicks on the video link and reads the comment section will know too.

you're not fooling anyone.

[chillinmc]

@GojyotheFeared, Ok there Troll-Con aka Decepticon aka Occupy Protestor. Lol! How Optimus stated to Megatron during the last battle, "It's never over!"

[ghostrider3911]

When i saw the episode i thought it was the end of transformers

[arseniy]

So transformers appeared from Matrix??? People we need to make The Matrix ASAP!

[TheRamcharan03]

i knowi have this movie but its sad trevor22229

[maxacorn]

the reason why this scene is better than his other death scene in ROTF is because it had heart. prime was given the death a hero like him deserved. you knew this was gonna hurt because you cared about these characters. the bay movies didnt have heart. sure it had battles and explosions but they dont have heart.

[southerncajuncharm]

Did anyone else cry watching this?

[Spazticbanana8419]

25 years ago this movie screwed up the childhood of 30 year olds

[TheRamcharan03]

i started crying

[ooOmegaSupremeoo]

@TheRamcharan03

Why? You're acting like a sissy!

[trevor22229]

@TheRamcharan03 he's revived crazy

[Rezindez]

I hate how parents complained about this scene, or that it caused controversy at all. There's nothing wrong with creating a powerful, emotionally rendering scene in a movie, especially if it's aimed at kids. If children had to go home and cry in the bathroom after watching this, all the better. That just shows how much they were affected by the movie. It's a safe introduction to the concept of death, and it could only lead to the child maturing and understanding the world better than before.

[Grimpy88]

@Rezindez Well said bro.

I don't think my parents complained about me watching it when I was a kid but I can certainly imagine some stricter parents being bothered by it.

This scene always gets me going, even after all these years and hundreds of viewings. If I have kids I'm going to make sure they watch this movie, a scene like this is so impacting, yet, it's essentially a robot breaking down.

[kizzmac]

Even when they brought him back to life it was different cause the old Autobots were gone. I was not feeling many of the newer ones.

[kizzmac]

I liked Transformers even before the movie but what stood out over other animated shows was that there were actual deaths which included popular heroes and villains.

[ghostrider3911]

The video title should have said the death of transformers. Honestly, after i watched this back then, i didn't watch it again until i heard he came back.

[Netavio]

is there an engineer nearby i think he can fix him XD

[lohagoskissos]

Like two youtube users that will remain anonymous have said;

"The saddest day in the history of cartoon ever".

And

"Out of all the giant shape changing robots Optimus Prime was the best, not because he was the manliest, not because he was the strongest, not because he was the bravest but because he was the most human."

[ZuttoAragi]

This scene was DEFINITELY sad, but it made no sense, in the series he's gotten shot, stabbed, torn, apart, blown up, heck, we see Ultra Magnus get blown to bits and then put back together, so why is a stab and a couple laser blasts enough to fell him?

[anderson13666]

QUICK! TURN IT BACK ON!

[MrKarate22]

yo i have this movie in vhs

[boomkrakatoa]

PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMME!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zsil33]

........How many times does he die, come back to life just to die again!!!!

[darkeyes286]

this is bull shit octimus prime is way stronger than megatron

[mrbigshot150472]

Man,this scene is sadder than Bay's prime death scene.It appears like in Bay's films little emphasis is put on the actual robots.they are portrayed as just a piece of metal in Bay's films

[TimeForFunGuy]

one of the only cartoon moments that makes a manly man like me cry.

[TheAsyrani]

optimus die in style

[kentonagbone]

Ultra Magnus just had to adjust it a little. (Haven't you ever had to adjust yourself?) It's all about comfort

[tiger1chu]

FUCK U HOT ROD!!! D:<

[TheJhwg]

thx for Death Of Optimus Prime

[ArmodrilloExpert5000]

@TheJhwg THX?! Seaurisly??!!

[Unicronsbitch]

the animation for magnus putting the matrix in his chest is messed up, he opens his chest up, puts the matrix in, moves his arms down then puts the matrix in his chest again a second time.

[ReconRanger1800]

This is all your fault Hot Rod

[mach9studios]

The Line of True Primes ends here

[gurbie03]

happiest moment ever

[claymation1nation]

soon i shall be one with the taco oops i mean matrix

[skeletonking1234]

don't worry on the 7th day he will rise again

[sharkzown228]

i found this boring

[SOLIDUSSE]

rip optimus

[josephcamarillo]

my child hood ruined sees transformers the movie prime is that you yay! thumbs up if you agree

[ionthegravity2]

I love 80's anime!!!

but I fuckin HATED Hasbro for doing this to a bunch of little kids!!!

That partially fucked up my childhood....

[horaciosi]

@ionthegravity2 Transformers is not anime....although the movie WAS animated by Toei Studios.

[MrMegas2]

Saddest moment in 80's cartoon history

Michael Bay cheapened it

[SuperDestroyer6000]

anyone seen the whole cartoon series thay go to his tomb hes like a zombie then they revive him

[vivapinsam1]

@SuperDestroyer6000 yeah I saw all of them then the last ep is a cliffhanger.Mainly because the show got cancelled :(

[Edd25164605]

rejoice !! because he was a machine....they fixed him in a later movie.

[xXNICKROXXx]

Thumbs you heard this in Painkillers by Cannibal Ox!

[BrownBoyShreds]

@xXNICKROXXx songs sick!! 

[ionthegravity2]

@xXNICKROXXx yeah, I miss Can Ox

[pdean52]

R.I.P. Optimus Prime.

[MegaGrogers]

i was 6 when i watched this first time i cried now tears come to my eyes when i watch it now... and im 13

[TheWaystone]

Be an Optimist Prime, not a Negatron.

[godboy114]

He transformed into a coffin after that.

[DJPestilence]

NOOOOOOO!

[ColonelDBoy]

HE DIE FOR OUR SINS!

[helrazorspartan]

thumbs up if you grew up up with this show and when you watched this episode you were never the same

[mrbrockpeters]

This and the death of Spock scene are some of the saddest moments in Sci-fi cinema!

[Shin27ecstasy]

doesn't this movie take place in 2005? xD

[starscreamfreak]

he fought till the end

[KICKBOXER27]

@shadic5551 You're not the only. Trust me I know.

[KICKBOXER27]

Optimus Prime, Rest in Peace, AMEN!!!

[SailorAmberlight]

I think a funny spoof would be if Optimus opened his chest and everybody screamed and ran away. Optimus would be left lying there talking to himself, dropping the Matrix on the floor.

[SailorAmberlight]

Magnus is like, "Hey, I was wondering what this Matrix sized chamber in my chest was for. Perfect fit! Erm, almost."

[AllieRX87]

My condolences go to the Autobots.

[alextaasian]

thumbs up if ur watching this in 2011

[ImSpidey2]

This scene is why the movie got mixed reviews.

[tribe1964]

i remember this how dare they kill of optimus i stopped watching after this

[jokerfan31]

Optimus came back to life during the next generation cartoon I remember but he was bat shit crazy

[nobodysperfect06]

imagine in the He-Man and She-Ra movie "The Secret of the Sword" if they killed off He-Man? another 80's icon, because I know they were planning to have Duke die in G.I. Joe the Movie, but changed it to a coma

[TheLoveableToasty]

I'm guessing he came back to life with some convenient ancient artifact though right?

[Davechow12]

This scene single handedly screwed up my childhood. :<(

[xSpArTiChRiSx]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[lionelizer92]

Optimus: HotRod...............F**K you

[LeDuche42]

Saddest movie moment. Ever.

[salamandermags]

This is the one things in the world that will make Chuck Norris cry. The government shows it to him every time they need some more of his tears to avert some major crisis for a vip. they will just not allow the general public have access to them.

[evandouglas1]

@salamandermags yer man, holy water aint got shit on vampires till they get chuk noris's tear drops splashed on'em as well

[ZuttoAragi]

@salamandermags Well no duh, Chuck Norris' tears make the atom bomb look like a bag of pop rocks.

[albertwesker471]

when i first saw this it was so sad i would have given the matrix to jazz after all he is optimus primes first liutenant

[williamskidfears]

@albertwesker471 I thought Ironhide was his second in command.

[sypoth]

1:48 I HAVE THE POWER! But seriously, anyone else notice the crack scene where Magnus has the matrix inside of him, then takes it out and puts it back in at 2:03 WTH is that all about?
