Unless you consider Beast Wars a contiutation of the comic universe (I do, but it's debatable) its off topic.

There are parallels between Beast Wars Japan and Beast Wars English, they are closely parallel but they are not identical. If you can't watch or read it in English (how many times, we don't speak Spanish) it's doesn't count.

One of the stories quoted above wasfrom the UK convention. Don't know how closely Hasbro looked at that. They may look closer at the BotCon stuff nowadays but a decade ago? There's a point where "facts" from obscure comics of a couple thousand print run for hardcore fans and never intended to be seen by the mass audience can easily be waved away and discussions of what we might think is better fitting are valid.

Also reread TFUS #26 and GIJoe vs Transformers #3. Both stories have Optimus Prime's body blasted into space in a funeral barge. They were aiming at the sun, but still.
