Transformers ROTF Co-Writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci Say The Sequel Is Darker.

I just want to be entertained. Just entertain me, please. Its a summer popcorn movie, thats all i ask.

Oh, I thought Prime would survive.... i'm so disappointed....

No, i'm not... Prime is going to die, mark my word. This is the "Empire Strikes Back" of this Series of movies..... at least i hope it is. JUST WANT THEM TO BRING ON UNICRON IN THE THIRD MOVIE!

It's part of the TransFormers Mythos, so Optimus biting the big one won't be a big surprise for me.

Then they'll have "TransFormers 3: The Return of Optimus Prime" for the Summer 2012.

Prime will save us from Unicron! :)

Not Taco Truck Rodimus Prime. lol

Well, Optimus was killed in the 1986's "Transformers the Movie" so I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same in this movie...

i swear if optimus prime dies, imma be pissed, i hope theres a big battle with all the autobots and decepticons

I am sure to be pretty alone on this, but I liked Rodimus Prime. I liked the coming of age of the reluctant rebelious youthful leader who has to step up in the shoes of the greatest Autobot Leader there has ever been. He starts out as a super hot rod hot head and then gets the matrix in him and turns into a hot rod RV who commands victory. Thats freakin awesome. They turned him into a total douche bag in the cartoon though, always crying about how he'll never be Prime enough to be like Optimus. I don't think Rodimus will happen though, most fans hate him.

why do people complain about the humor in the first one, i thought it was freaking hilarious. when bumblebee keeps playing different songs in that one scene. and the air freshner that say's bee-otch.....priceless!!!!!

i honestly, for a year i kept saying that optimua will die

I think the best way to kill off Prime would be to have him and Galvatron kill each other in a grand battle in the last movie. The Autobots and Decepticons join to gether at the last minute to defeat Unicron, the embodyment of evil. They beat him, of course, and they realize that as long as the two of them exist, there will always be hatred and conflict. The transformers need a singlr leader under which they must unite.

They could have a duel on the remains of the defeated Unicron. Prime and Galvatron fight to the death. Galvatron falls, Prime is mortally wounded and name Hot Rod as his successor.

That's one way to do it.

@THEHAWK: A passing of the Matrix of Leadership and the rise of Rodimus Prime you say? As long as Unicron is there, I'm with ya.

where the hell did anybody get Optimus will die in the movie from? not once did they say anything about someone dying

I know its part of the mythos, but it really doesn't make sense for prime to die in this version. In the universe that Michael Bay set up, If Prime dies, the war is over, none of the other Autobots can stand up to the Decepticons. In the first movie, Bumblebee beat Barricade and Prime beat Bonecrusher, thats all the Autobots had. It took Jazz, Ratchet and Ironhide just to incapacitate "Devastator" who was beat with help from the army, and the Army took out Blackout alone.

On the Decepticon side, Starscream blew Bumblebee's legs off and layed a major smackdown on Ratchet and Ironhide at the same time by himself. Megatron literally ripped Jazz(autobot's second in command) in half and and had his way with Optimus Prime in the final fight.

And with a butt-load of more Decepticons(including the real devastaror) in this one plus the ones who "died" in the first movie coming back the autobots apparently have Jetfire(falling apart), The Twins, RC and Sideswipe for back-up. Who, unless they can go super-saijin, are about as strong as the autobots in the first film. Its already an uphill battle for the autobots, who Im guessing will get significant help frome the armed forces again, but if the strongest autobot dies, there's no way the rest stand a chance... Matrix of leadership or not. Besides, though Bay is obviously keeping the majority of the film's details a secret, there's no reason to even think that Hot Rod or Ultra Magnus are even in this movie. And, in the mythos, they are as important to the "Death of Prime" storyarc as Prime's death itself...

In short, just because it happened in Transformers G1 and seeing Prime get his but kicked in the preview is no reason to think he's gonna die. A) As many people on this site have already pointed out, Michael has already deviated far from the source material in his adaptation, why would he stick to it now? B) Prime got his ass handed to him by Megatron in Bay's first movie too, and he didn't die...

I think that is what happened Howlett.

This makes me wonder, though.... does the Matrix of Leadership even exist in this Transformers universe?

version4

Good question. My only answer is - It SHOULD!

THEPROGRAM-

Yea, that was the only thing that bothered me. Of course the "black" autobot is a break-dancin', jive-talkin', wreck-loose who ends up getting himself killed!

But hey, at least we were represented! From what i could tell there wasn't a Latino autobot!

I heard they are bringing him back tho, so that's cool.....let's just hope they don't kill him again!

HOWLETT04-

LOL, yea either that or Megatron will kill him again, toss him away, he'll get caught in a powerline or wire of some sort and end up "hanging" from something! :-P

Too far???...

LMAO.

Talontd you racist!!!!!!!!!! Nah, just kidding! It was going a little far, though! LOL

If that did happen though, you better believe Al Sharpton would be standing in front of Michael Bay's house with a bullhorn within minutes of the first screening!

As I've stated before, I love Jazz.... the CHARACTER.... but as soon as I found out Eddie Winslow was voicing him, I immediatly began rooting for the decepticon in every scene he was in.you gotta admit, that was a classic death scene...

Hawk, i think thats the right order!

I just posted an article featuring what I think is the Matrix, you can check it out under the news section.
