Optimus Prime is revived as a zombie by Quintessons.
Detailed synopsis
On the run from Galvatron, the Autobots take refuge on board the mausoleum ship containing many of their deceased comrades. These include Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet, Huffer, and Optimus Prime, who is strangely alive again thanks to a Quintesson plot. After Optimus saves their lives, Rodimus Prime eagerly returns the Matrix of Leadership to him, despite his bizarre behavior and damaged appearance. After he re-assumes command, Optimus orders an all-out attack on a supposed Quintesson base (in reality a trap that the partially-reprogrammed Optimus is designed to lead the Autobot fleet into). Eventually, Optimus' dangerous, erratic behavior forces Hot Rod to reclaim the Matrix from his zombified mentor, who still possesses enough of his true heroic self to partially fight back against the Quintesson's reprogramming. When he does, the irreparable Optimus' last act is to pilot the Autobot flagship into the trigger zone of the Quintesson trap. And thus, the tears of Daniel Witwicky and many other thousands of young boys flowed all over again.
However, a voice asks if this is really the end of our beloved Autobot? The voice also mentions a return.

Notable quotes
- Optimus Prime: "Decepticons! Leave this place, or die!"
- Spike: "Great... what'll we do when we run out of air?"
Rodimus Prime: "Basically you'll have two options; suffocate, or smother."
- Arcee: "Sludge. Snarl. Oh, are we glad to see you."
Sludge: "Me Sludge not glad to see you."
Snarl: "You all dead! Rarrr!"
Sludge: "Maybe we dead too."
- Kup: "Where is everybody?"
Sludge: "All go smash Quintessons."
Ultra Magnus: "Quintessons? What do the Quintessons have to do with this?"
Snarl: "They kill you! Optimus Prime say so! Uh-oh. Something not right."
Other Notes
- Notes
Animation and/or technical glitches
- Glitches
Continuity errors
- Shortly after Optimus Prime first awakens, Rodimus Prime states that Optimus has been dead "for years". This is impossible, considering season 3 starts immediately after the 1986 movie. Also, Daniel is the same age he was when Optimus died. In actuality, Optimus probably hasn't been dead more than a few months. This works a little better in Japan, though, where the series takes place in 2010.

Miscellaneous trivia
- When Daniel lists the names of the Autobots killed in the shuttle ambush, Brawn (the first casualty of the movie) is mysterously absent, replaced instead by Huffer (whose death is unseen). Brawn and Huffer (miscolored) later reappeared fighting for the Decepticons in the episode Carnage in C Minor (This is usually dismissed as an animation error)
