This is really the craziest evil ending they could have done💔

Not so fun fact when the show was aired in Japan this was the final episode. For some reason Beast Hunters never aired there and the show was instead followed up by a Japanese exclusive series called “Triple Combination: Transformers Go!”

I still remember watching this for the first time as a kid. I actually thought Optimus wasn’t coming back, and was on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next season!

It used to be our Infinity War

“Neither did I old friend”

The Nemesis Blast Scene Was Deleted In The Japanese Dub Ended From A CliffHanger Due To Low ToySales

I'll never forget the shear heartbreak at seeing Optimus's arm in the ruble. I was certain he was dead, and I was a pissed off 12 year old. Haha

No literally I remember being 10 years old on the edge of my seat the entire episode and just being so stunned at the ending and I genuinely thought Optimus was not coming back

The episode here Seriously what a cliffhanger Decepticons literally won

completely off topic but the sound design for smokescreen's car mode is out of this world for me as a car

OH MY GOD I remember being like 3-4 years old watching this on the telly 😭 I was heartbroken man

My family stopped getting the hub on our tv on after this finale lol, kid me wasn’t very happy

I remember crying as a kid, but the reason I like this ending is because it shows that the good guys don’t always win, I know what happens after this of course but still it’s something we don’t see enough of anymore

I loved this series! I still shed a tear at the end of the TV movie

I feel like that ending didn’t hit me as hard as it should have because the new Optimus toy was already out so it was obvious that he was gonna come back in a new beefed up body. I’m kind of envious of everyone who didn’t have to have that thought tbh.

This was such a great ending to a season I remember watching this for the first time thinking Optimus wasn’t coming back. I was hyped for the beast hunters to see if prine lived.

i honestly think this battle could have been won, within the first minute of getting the star saber optimus shook the nemesis and cleaved a mountain in half, in this battle he only shot a single energy wave at one horde of insecticons and then just gave up

I lost my shi when I watched this as a kid. Peak show

@1984BlueStreak Bro this ending pissed me off so bad as a kid

Agreed. It brought plenty of bad after effects which stretched to Adventure.

what hurt even more was that between this and last season i lost access to tv and i haven't seen s3 untill like 3 years later but i did saw the epilogue movie when it aired and i was so confused XD

I’ve never seen this show, but I know Brian Tyler did the score. That motif playing the place blew up sounded A LOT like “Resting Place of the Primes” from TF One 🔥

That and the ending of RWBY Volume 3. Now that stuff really messed me up.
