The Death Of Optimus Prime

Optimus-Prime-DeathJason sent me this nice link to a short video segment talking about the death of Optimus Prime in the Transformers cartoon movie. There are a couple of pretty interesting things said in it.

First of all, one of the lead story consultants says that they killed Optimus Prime for 2 reasons:

1) They never realized what a huge Icon he had become

2) To make way for new toys

I KNEW IT!!! Those bloody bastards!!!! Kill Prime to get me to buy that crappy Rodumus Prime toy?!?! Well even as a kid I never fell for it. The Transformers animated movie marked the end of my love for the Transformers cartoon show. After that movie, I never watched another show, nor did I buy any more toys. Good plan guys.

Check out the video here. It’s worth watching. The link to the video is just below the Tranformers poster on the page there.
