- Optimus Prime Memorial is a statue from the animated portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Optimus Prime dies a lot. Taking that into consideration, there have been a number of memorials constructed to honor his memory. These memorials exist on a number of planets where his influence was felt the most.
Exactly what happens to these memorials when Prime inevitably returns to life is anybody's guess.
