I've only just plucked up courage to watch it - I should have watched it when I was just getting into the fandom and still had difficulty telling everyone apart!
*hugs you* I'm really, really glad I didn't watch it as a child!
It's like they went: 'Oh heyz new toyline = PROFIT! Must get rid off previous line in the sales making machine to free up advertising space.' And totally forgot that the entire point of the cartoon was to make children emotionally invested in the characters so they would BUY the damn toys. And traumitising your customer base maybe not the best idea!
Of course they all come back to life! Why would you say they don't come back to life? They all come back to life. ...I still have to watch the Zombie!Optimus ep DD:
