 ** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|IT'S A GIANT MUSHROOM!! MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY!!!]]
 * [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]], similar to Jean Grey, has only sacrificed his life and revived a total of two times in the G1 cartoon, and another two in the Marvel Comic rendition.
-** That's just [[Transformers Generation 1|G1]]. In addition to those ''four'' instances, Optimus also dies  {{spoiler|in ''[[Transformers Headmasters]],'' several times in the [[Beast Wars]]/[[Beast Machines]] era, though he's not ''the'' Optimus Prime there (although ''he'' got a close call at the end of Season 2). He also dies in ''Armada,'' and now in the second live-action movie, ''Revenge of the Fallen.''}} As the first time he did it was so shocking, fans and writers alike quickly latched onto the idea, and it seems the writers have [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_many_deaths_of_Optimus_Prime gotten carried away]. Now, if the current series' Optimus ''doesn't'' do this at ''least'' once, fans are disappointed, and it even got its own little [[Lampshade Hanging]] in ''[[Beast Wars]]''. Currently, the ''[[Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'' incarnation is the only version of Optimus to not have died at least once (''[[Transformers Prime]]'' is still young, and he doesn't die in ''[[Shattered Glass]]'' because that's Megatron's job.) ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' gets it out of the way in the ''series premiere'' (and even then, he was only dead for ''a little over a minute'').

 *** Hell, when G1 cartoon Optimus' backstory is revealed, we find he ''became'' Optimus in a [[We Can Rebuild Him]] situation - he was a civilian who was killed by Megatron soon after Megs' villain career began.
 ** Ultra Magnus is only remembered by fans for the infamous movie line, "I can't deal with that, now". Not only has it become an [[Memetic Mutation|internet meme]], but it also forever painted Magnus in fans' minds as an arrogant and lazy commander who would rather pass off responsibilities to his subordinates than actually get his own hands dirty. The fact that he's seen coordinating strategies more often than he is executing them doesn't help matters much, but he ''is'' more proactive than this misconception paints him as being. On top of that, the original line was said as he was in the middle of ''trying to pilot a ship that was crashing,'' so it was less "Who cares?" and more "Kinda ''busy'' here!"
