I was reading some Transformers Trivia and checking out anamation mistakes when I found this. TRIVIA:The movie was being produced by the same company, and at the same time, as G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987 video) . It had been agreed that both movies would suffer the loss of the lead heroes, Optimus Prime and Duke. Production had begun on G.I. Joe first, and was thus expected to be released first. During the production of the two films, G.I. Joe Got held up while Transformers finished production. Release dates were changed and Transformers got a theatrical release in 1986. Optimus Prime's death sparked some controversy and caused the writers to change Duke's death to a coma. G.I. Joe never got to the theaters, and was released to video instead. Had G.I. Joe been released first, Optimus Prime might have survived the movie. source

That is an interesting thought. Too bad we will never know.

I liked how they brought back Prime for a short period in "Dark Awakening" it was just great to see him leading the Autobots in his battle damaged body.
