Her merges with Vector Sigma to keep Seibertron from being destroyed.

Utterly pointless sacrifice, as Seibertron blows up anyway a few episodes later.

Wasn't it always, though?

"Megatron must be stopped - no matter the cost!" Well, that cost obviously doesn't extend to shooting Hot Rod, does it?

Alright, so he destroys himself killing Unicron in the comic, but it's all okay, as Hi-Q is Optimus Prime as well! And Unicron comes back at some later date anyway. Hoo bloody rah.

You could make a case for the Swarm, but surely Prime must have twigged that just throwing the Matrix at it alone would have done the same damn thing. He didn't know they'd bring him back.

Which all adds up to one of the following:
a) He's got an intense martyr complex and really great luck
or
b) He's got an intense death wish and really bad luck

I really hate Optimus Prime.

You forgot blowing himself up over a video game. He was just looking for an excuse to die, that time.

I'd go with B, since despite his best efforts, that nerdlinger saved his personality on a floppy disc alongside Tetris and Donkey Kong Jr. Math.

But if Seibertron had blown up there and then, all the Cybertrons would have been killed, at least in the latter episode they have time to evacuate...
