G1, comics, G2, Beast Wars (may Beast Machines) - can't speak for the RiD/A/E/C... and so far, he got offed in the first 3eps for TFA...

hence the running joke of it ain't TF if Optimus don't die.

 

Love yer sig, man   Is that a Softtail, or non-HD?

 

Maybe the story is about Sentinel Prime, whom Optimus had succeeded in G1... well, at least that was mentioned in War Within that was who Optimus succeeded as Prime.

Who knows? Guess we'll just have to wait for the book to come out and read it to find out.

 

I think what's interesting is this sort of says that maybe they are really working on making the movie universe something more than just a handful of robots come to Earth and a boy gets his first car.

First the comic books went expanding on characters and history, now things like this seem to expand the history. Hey who knows the story people might actually get something this time around as well.

 

Could this be the last Autobot from the G1 comics?

 

Or, Optimus Prime doesn't die, but with the war over and the Allspark gone, there's no means of any reproduction, so Optimus remains THE Prime for the rest of eternity.

 

(sarcastically) It's Rodmius Prime...!

 

Armada and Animated to start with.

Suzuki Boulevard C90T - my gold and white baby.

 

My guess is for nemesis prime,seems to fit in with the whole fallen genre of spooky bots * muhahaha*

 

Exactly my thought! Or at least the last one...FOR NOW. dundundun.

And waaaaaant Movieverse Vector Prime. >>

 

Maybe it's possible that Optimus Prime could die and that Hot Rod might step up to be the next Prime? I mean.... the vehicle that has been confirmed as Sideswipe.... that could possibly be Hot Rod! They could be trying to lead us off!

 

hmmm. interesting. if it's about rodimus then im not reading it. maybe its about optimus pre-war. that would make for a nice read.

 

Am I correct that loooong ago when Bay first started talking about new 'bots he mentioned there would be a "geriatric" Autobot. I think he also used the phrase: there will be new "species" of robots. Interesting nonetheless. Might pick up the book for a quick read!

 

My guess is they're talking about the Last Prime as in the one before Optimus. I think they are gonna tie this into the movie someone. I don't think it means "Last" as in the final one, just the one before the present one.

 

a title such as "the last prime" implies "final"

to sell a book with a title like that and have it be about the previous prime, people would be pissed. a title like that would never be approved

 

maybe "prime" relates to the spark of leadership being the last autobot to cary the title...I like that thought, but not in the sense that i will lose my hero :'(
