Should have Optimus Prime Stayed Dead for Part 3 Characters to Appear?

I thought Prime should have stayed dead

This would be a great setup for Wheeljack and Hot Rod and Ultra Magnus.

Due the lack of any screen time for many of the robots, they should killed off some Autobots. Most likely Jolt, The Twins, Rachett and Prime...which would lead to new storylines and Robots

Killing Prime off but have him return in part 3, that would've been okay. Killing Prime off for good to make way for other Autobots? No freaking way.

Hasbro aren't going to let that happen again. I can see your point about making room for other characters, but in the minds of a lot of people Transformers = Prime.

No!

Prime being dead does not work for me.
I hated that so much as a child, and I still hate it.

I wonder what the reaction of most fans in the audience was when they saw Prime die again. "No... not again... You bastards! Don't do this to me again!"

dude they did that in the 1986 animated movie and the backlash was enormous and Bay wisely avoided a repeat of that mistake and as for him comming back to life in part 3 that would have risked a massive turn off caused by prime's death and could have lead to poor ticket sales killing the 3rd movie what was done was handled very well

YES It did blacklashed with billions of dollars of profits for Hasbro and the movies.

Where would the Transformers cartoon and Movies and Toys be right now if Prime never dies in 1986? The Cartoon would have failed. Optimus Prime dying was a great thing regardless on how sad it was

Yeah, I agree that Optimus shouldn't be killed off - he's the TF flagship character.
