Well actally he died in the eighties in a cheesy transformer movie, but i think prime topics may actually have kicked the bucket as well. And it all looked so promising when Hotrod found the Orb.........

Sent 'em an e-mail but they didn't reply so they aren't 'answer any question thrown there way' class 1 geeky but they know a bit. They have some cool files. They have an Optimus Prime dance track, and a VW that changes into a Transformer.

Ah - obviously a number of you don't know that Prime was brought back to life. ;-)

A later episode (ironically named "The Return Of Optimus Prime) was made where this deadly hate virus thing spreads around. Some nasty bloke finds Prime's body and tries to use it (covered in the virus) to spread the hate virus among the Autobots and Decepticons to get back at them after his daughter is crippled in a fight between the two sides. Of course everything goes well out of control and blah, blah, blah, the story goes on and a few of the unaffected Transformers get Prime's body to a place where he is brought back to life and there you have it - Prime is all back to life and kicking backside again. Yay.

As for the geeks knowing how Prime died, I have a bigger question for them - how can a robot have a ghost ??
Some might remember that Starscream is blown away in the movie. In a later episode he comes back to cause trouble and take revenge - but as a ghost. Um, ok.

I'm sure that if you search around the many geeky Transformers websites you will find a proper reason as to actually how Optimus Prime, a cartoon robot, died in the movie. Geeks know everything.
