I noticed at the end of Predacons Rising, Since optimus gave his spark along with the allspark, it was subject to being born as another cybertronian. And I seemed like the little spark thing at the end was him. So my theory is that he may be either reincarnated as another cybertronian, or just come back with a new body. Thoughts?
I'm sorry but are we sure there will be another series as a continuation of Prime? I ask because I have been absent from this community for a while. But while I watched the movie, when I saw the little spark that ended the movie I also thought it was Optimus. I'm not sure about him coming back though.
Ya i'm fairly sure. Hasbro likes the Prime style but wants it aim more for kids. One of the things kids apparent don't like is continuity. So worrying about how O.Prime is coming back is sadly something we don't have to think about. My guess is it's going to be a totally new series O.Prime and Megatron going at it again. and it'll be in the Prime style.
Actually it was the replacement for rescue bots being aimed more for kids, and I heard that somebody from the next series said that it will be the same continuity.
Considering that what has been established about the next series is that it'll aim to also appeal to a younger crowd as well as go back to simpler animation, I suspect that if it is in any way, even loosely, connected to Prime (meaning, still in the Aligned "continuity", such as it is) that you can bet your bottom Optimus Prime of all TFs won't be staying dead. But again, that's a sizeable amount of assumption at this point.

I hope we see Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak, Thundercracker, Skywarp, The Dinobots (hey, wheren't the Dinobots supposed to show up by now?! What the frag?!)?
my thoughts on the next series -Have it take place a few years/ decades after the end of Prime -Returning Autobots: Jazz, Prowl, Kup, Ironhide, the Dinobots, Springer,Hound, etc -Decepticons: Some pardoned if they didn't commit war crimes (like Thundercracker, Ramjet, Skywarp), others flocked to either Aligned Charr or Warworld, _New Decepticon Leader: Bludgeon, or Thunderwing or even Skorpinok -New Threats: Quitiessons maybe, or the Star Seeker Pirates that have yet to appear
I'd like the next series to start with 4 new Autobots (and by new i mean we never seen before) as part of a team led by two veterans I would personally choose Arcee and Smokescreen being a part of a Lost Light-esque expedition. I would have a new villian who does not believe the Decepticons are over like Overlord, Tarn or Straxus. We'd see a reformed Megatron out in space attempting to atone for his sins. Perhaps fighting in a Spartacus-esque rebllion against oppression.
I'd like to see the Autobot's battling the Liege Maximo or the Fallen, who have gathered the leaderless Decepticons. Who'll lead the Autobots I have no idea. Maybe Prima or Vector Prime? Either way it'll be good to explore what the Thirteen have been up to the last few million years.
