  I personally believe that they should&apos;ve reincarnated Optimus instead of just bringing him back from the dead. Imagine if we get introduced to a new and inexperienced character like an Orion Pax 2.0 but we slowly over the episodes of the show discover he was Optimus in his past life and watch him accept the title/name. I hope this isn&apos;t too confusing or weird.

  I honestly feel bad for Peter Cullen and his time on this project. I can&apos;t imagine the pain and frustration he must&apos;ve felt when he had to witness Optimus being character assassinated and went from the wise, respectful leader in TF:P to a rookie who acts like an old man and acts immature at times.

  Optimus in TFP was literally about to relinquish leadership and the Matrix of Leadership to Smokescreen. In RID, he’s incapable of accepting anyone besides himself as being the leader.

  Almost every Transformer in TFP are survivors of war. They should NOT be treating the leader of their faction as a JOKE and neither should the writers

  I am actually shocked by how Bee talks to Prime in RID, TFP Bee would never talk like that, he is literally as loyal as Ratchet to Prime, and loves him like a young boy loves his father

  Imagine if they took the idea of making Smokescreen the next Prime, and he being trained by the Primes instead of Optimus, then strugling with Bee&apos;s team, to become a great leader

  A cybertronian being possessive of the team and pushing himself as leader is something youd expect from starscream

  I heard that even Peter Cullen hated the voice lines that he was given and the change of character that Optimus underwent between tfp and rid

  If they&apos;re going to reduce Optimus&apos;s competence to let someone else shine, then they should have just let Optimus&apos;s death stay permanent.

  I feel like Optimus is disrespected in the show. They could have done something like they did in the Orion pax episodes where the All spark being sacrificed corrupted his memory, since the core of Primus was polluted with dark Energon. They didn’t have to remove all his memory’s but it would atleast account for his inexperience.
