It was sad that he died at the end sacrificing himself to save his fellow Autobots.But at the end of the episode there was a glimmer of hope that he would return.Which he would finaly do.
shareMy newt door neighbor cried that morning and didn't want to go to school. I was upset, but I didn't cry.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
when they first aired "Dark Awakening" there wasn't a glimmer of hope at the end of the episode. I don't think the writers had decided to bring Optimus Prime back yet. I think that came later after many of the stories of season 3 aired and fans continued to be upset by Optimus' death.
shareI remember just being a little bit happy to see him back on an episode even though he wasn't himself. It was a little weird to see him all cracked and broken looking. I think the TV show goes for longer and stays popular if they didn't kill him or lots of the other characters until maybe 3 years after they did. If they would of waited until like 1988 to 89 it would of been a little bit easier to swallow. I can watch seasons 1 & 2 over and over but 3 & 4 only every once in a while.
shareThe thing about that episode is, it showed that Optimus no matter how badly damaged could withstand attacks that would destroy any other autobot,(when he's in the ship and it's being attacked by quintessons) in a way it kinda shows us how much of a legend he was. I notice at the end of the episode the narrator says "But is this really the end of Optimus Prime? Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode, "The Return of Optimus Prime", though that two part episode was at the end of season 3 and this was episode 8 of season 3.

the episode was shown twice in Season 3.
Many decades later I still get choked up when that final scene happens. But One has to admit Prime went out the way he lived his life (yes that sounds tacky I know). He went out like a Boss and all the Auto-bots and Quintisons knew it even.
shareI feel the sameway one episode I got trouble watching,i cant stand seeing prime get blown up and try destroy autobots but he did come back in return of optimus prime did kind of miss megatron to
didn't care for galvatron anyone else
Yup, had that same problem with him dying twice both in this episode and in 1986 movie. But yes, this episode was so traumatic to me as a kid, him losing his arm, mind and being tore down in the end due to explosion. Even now it seems hard to watch. It has that dramatic manga/anime feel about it, something similar to the last few minutes of the first Gall Force anime movie.
sharenot sure I saw first anime movie but this was tramatizing for me now and for young kids,to see him die twice then see him return toward final episode like nothing happened confusing but glad see him return normal.
but dark awakening is one I have trouble seeing to this day without being chocked up.r try not have nightmares
