"Dark Awakening", the Transformers, Oct. 1st 1986
The zombie episode.
Yup, zombies
Hey kids, remember when Optimus Prime died and everyone was sad? Well we brought him back-as an undead monster! Isn't that great?
Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Arcee, Spike, and Daniel are being chased by Galvatron. They manage to elude him, mostly by hiding in the Autobot Mausoleum. Which was never mentioned before, but whatever.
Hiding among the dead, they can't focus on Optimus Prime's body missing body when Galvatron attacks. The Decepticons are driven off by...Optimus Prime!
Rodimus easily hands the Creation Matrix over to a clearly unwell Optimus. Prime proceeds to knock e everyone out and return to Cybertron, where he declares that Rodimus Prime and his friends all died heroically.
So something is up.
Not bad? The return of Optimus could have been handled worse (and this isn't the last time we see him either) although the zombie angle was a bit much I think.
