Yeah but Optimus single handedly carried TF's for the last 20+ years!

What I regret about Jazz's death is that the overall portrayal of the character in the movie was pretty crappy and he never had a chance to thrive.

I woundn't mind if the next movie tries to do him some justice in flashbacks or something.

Yes but, even as a child untill I saw the movie I didn't think the Autobots could die. And there was never really much threat of the main characters suddenly and shockingly being lost in the G1 toon, and if they were you knew they'd be back. The movie trying to create a more serious all ages atmosphere, nedds to have Decepticons who are a credible threat. If Jazz hadn't fallen then Megatron and the rest of the Deceps would look like a bunch of losers.

Prime also waited a good half a season+ before he came back to.

And for that reason, the death of an Optimus has basically become meaningless in TF lore. They even poked fun at this in Beast Wars when Megatron once said, "You Optimuses do love to sacrifice yourselves, don't you?"

Given the avoidance of mass-shifting in the movie, he would probably transform into an electron microscope rather than a light microscope - unless you shrunk him down to Frenzy's size.

Not sure what you would do with a microscope mode in the live action movie... CD players and mobile phones are things that would commonly see lying around places - but how often do you see light microscopes outside of a lab? Certainly not on Air Force One or in Mikaela's handbag.
