Where is Optimus Prime?

[Paulbot]

I accept the idea that Convobat is G1 Prime about as much as I accept that the original Optimus Primal toys (Bat and Gorilla) are G1 Prime. So, not at all.

Remember anything that is true in Japan is true for Japan, but Western Beast Wars continuity doesn't = Japanese Beast Wars continuity.

And Fan convention stories, whoever wrote them, are pretty much fan fiction, as they are fiction for fans.

I tend to think of Prime and most G1 characters as dead by the Beast Era personally, and that Cybertron has moved on from the days of the archaic Energon guzzlers.
