Revision as of 21:46, 25 January 2011
- Optimus Prime memorials are statues from 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.
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
In some American Earth city, television reporter Marty Minkler was interviewing Jazz and Cliffjumper at the unveiling ceremony for the Optimus Prime Memorial when Starscream and his newly recruited army of Combaticons attacked, taking the two Autobots prisoner. The statue was also damaged from Swindle's weapon fire (have the Combaticons no decency?!). Starscream's Brigade
After Optimus Prime was really dead, another memorial was constructed in his honor, this time within Autobot City on Earth. Rodimus Prime could be found moping about the statue, asking the stone representation of Prime why he kept seeing him in his dreams. The statue never responded, so far as we know. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1
The Headmasters comic
After Optimus Prime died for the third time, yet another memorial was built in his honor. This time, it was constructed on the Autobot base planet of Athenia. Depressingly, only Rodimus Prime, Chromedome, Hardhead, Brainstorm and Highbrow attended the unveiling of the statue. Likely, with this being the third statue unveiling, the ceremonies had probably grown dull and passe'. The Headmasters issue 1
Super-God Masterforce comic
Later, for the appointment of Ginrai as Supreme Commander of the Autobots by Fortress, the ceremony was held beneath the statue of Optimus Prime on Athenia. The Battle Begins! The United Earth-Space Troops
Generation 1 comic
Optimus Prime was honored on the Wall of Fame alongside other Autobots when he was thought dead for four million years. The Smelting Pool!
Beast Wars
Theft of the Golden Disk cartoon
On planet Cybertron, a large statue of Optimus Prime could be found decorating the outside of the Cybertropolis Maximal Data Archive. Central Branch, to be precise.
Beast Machines cartoon
Also on Cybertron, another large Optimus Prime statue could be seen outside the Cybertron Archives. Flaunting a Golden Disk in each hand, the statue was eventually shot down and destroyed by Vehicon drones. Fires of the Past
In the ruined subterranean city of Iacon, Optimus Primal and Nightscream stumbled upon a holographic tribute to Optimus Prime. Megatron later used the memorial to trick Primal into giving up information on the Oracle. Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search
