Transformers: Top 5 Optimus Prime Deaths

By Fred McNamara /

5. Zombimus Prime (Generation 1 Cartoon)

In this episode from season three of the G1 cartoon, Rodimus Prime and co stumble upon the massive, floating tomb that many Autobots were buried in after the events of The Transformers: The Movie. On board the vessel, they're shocked to find that Optimus Prime is alive and well, and totally zombie-like! The dastardly Quintessons had in fact revived him as pat of their latest wicked scheme to destroy the Autobots, but Optimus' still manages to save the day - even when he spends most of the episode as a decapitated, undead drone of evil. Childhood ruined AGAIN or what?
