Talk:The many deaths of Optimus Prime

Games?

I'm just asking, should the Movie games be counted? 76.169.169.60 05:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I would vote against. Those are more a statement about how games work than about Optimus Prime. JW 12:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

So, the Transformers The Game's Decepticon campaign doesn't count? Thanks for the reply, though. 76.169.169.60 00:49, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Please indent your replies.

And, yes, that would be my vote. It's the nature of a game, where one can play both sides, that the guys on the other side are gonna die. It's not intrinsically relevant to the "Optimus dies" trope. JW 01:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Megatron's deaths

I've been wondering, since we've got this article out, should we make one on the deaths and resurrections of Megatron? Let's face it: Old Buckethead's been offed a few times in career as well, often for the same reasons (except maybe the Christ one). Should we document those as well? -- SFH 21:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm open to a The many deaths of Megatron article, sure. I can think of three or four without trying too hard. JW 21:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

This subject could almost have it's own category, "The Many Deaths of BLANK." Also, why is Optimus Primal included on this page? He's not Optimus Prime. What do people think of him getting his own "The Many Deaths of..." article?--Suzyprime 23:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd much prefer Optimus Primal stay here. He's an Optimus, and was the leading character in his show, so I think he best fits here.

As for "The many deaths of BLANK", the thing about Optimus Prime is that a half-dozen different Optimuses have all died. Similarly for a handful of Megatrons. But, in the case of (say) Dirge, there's only one Dirge who died a buncha times, so we can cover that on his page. Similarly, the only Jazz who died is the one from the 2007 movie. Optimus and Megs are the only major cross-continuity characters who have a tradition of dying. (That I can think of.) JW 00:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Does Unicron count?--Apcog 02:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
