Sorry to say this... but they "KILLED" Optimus Prime and brought him back... so death in Transformer land really doesn't mean much.

:(

That's true...For instance, Starscreamer's Ghost. You can't "kill" a Transformer as long as they have a "spirit".

 

This still doesn't explain why Energon Ironhide can't be more like G1 Ironhide. You know, less annoying.

i read that in TF:MTME by dreamwave, Every spark has a special ability as well. starscream's spark has a special ability turning him into a ghost and can posses other TFs.

 

When optimus was revived does that mean that his spark never left his body? In BeastWars when Dinobot died his spark left his body (maybe because he didn't op to stay in statis lock thus preserving his spark). And the BW predacons can't seem to die since they've always been blown to bits yet you see them returning every other episode.

 

bah. i don't know what i'm on about sometimes.

dead is too relative in tf universe, specially g1

Let's admit it: Shockwave's alive. probably living in margaritaville. ( I'd be there too after going though what he did in the movie, with stuff crashing down and all!)

My opinion is that shockwave was destroyed in Unicrons attack. Almost none of the series one transformers survived the movie. The only gaurantee in TF land is that you only get two seasons then your done. Unless your Bumblebee,Jazz,or Spike. Just ask Sparkplug. Did he die or collect pension? On another note, why does Thundercracker have a crypt? he didn't die, he became Scourge or a sweep

Yhe preds have the Magic CR chamber.

Just ask Sparkplug. Did he die or collect pension?

Hey, what about Chip or those three goofy college kids...or :krem ???
