    A Prime Problem | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E08 | Hasbro Pulse
    Megatron plans to destroy the Autobots by creating a clone of Optimus Prime to lead them into a deadly trap he has set for them. When Spike is captured by the Decepticons, the Autobots must figure out which Optimus Prime is the real Optimus Prime and save Spike's life. But can they foil Megatron's plan?

      Unfortunately, the love and compassion would eventually lead to his own death in the movie 86, Season 3 Dark Awakening and TF Headmasters. He is the Jesus of the whole show who would die for his men esp in the movie where he would rather die than sacrifice Hot Rod/Rodimus to get to Megatron. He took the rap for Hot Rod’s mistake at the cost of his own life just like Jesus died for all our sins.

      @@twistedgaming9185 Agreed. When this aired (an early 1985 Season 2 episode scripted in late 1984), the movie wasn't finalized where they would feel comfortable bringing anything up that might be changed. Plus there was no knowledge at the time of what a "Matrix" was to the cartoon viewing audience. You can speculate today, but when breaking the 4th wall with production notes and behind the scenes, you can't retro fit what technically didn't exist (unless they do a G1 episode series remaster).

      Interesting you bring this up, because there's no studio to credit to that animation. Toei did most of season 2 and about half of 3, and AKOM clearly did 3 in season 2 and slightly more of season 3 than Toei, But Toei actually confirmed how many episodes they animated, and AKOM has a very distinct style, and that leaves a few episodes with no name attached. So who did that? Nobody who knows the answer has made it public. It's believed this episode is among the ones animated by this unknown studio.

    This was written before the Matrix was created for the movie, however Optimus was retconned into having the Matrix with him during his 4 million years of stasis lock on Earth and during the war on Earth until his regrettable demise in 2005. That being said, what they should have done was move the Optimus that didn't know how to work Teletraan 1 and didnt know Ironhide's name and scratch a number one on his shoulder and a 2 on the shoulder of the other optimus to tell them apart. After that, start asking questions that only the real one would know like how to operate Teletraan 1 and name all the Autobots correctly. After that they both open their chassis to show the Matrix but the clone would have had some device in it, perhaps even a matrix shell with a beacon in it to emit a signal to fool Teletraan 1 but the real Optimus would then show the real Matrix. Autobots then blast the clone to scrap.
    Also, having that clone machine in their base would mean that the Autobots could keep healthy scans of all of them on file and create clone bodies to harvest for spare parts or else complete spark/mind transfer into the clone body if their original body was damaged beyond repairs. Such scans could then recreate the bodies of all the Autobots struck down in the movie, and then their sparks could be recalled from Vector Sigma/All Spark like Optimus was when the Quintesson revived him.
