Who/What Killed Optimus Prime?

Over the past few months I've been watching the '86 movie over and over and wondering who or what killed Optimus Prime. Vote for your answer. Let me know if I should add any other options.

*multiple choices are allowed

Personally, I feel it was Rodimus interfering with the final battle between Optimus and Megatron. Rodimus' actions killed Prime. And that's what haunted him during his tenure as the Autobot leader.

I'm going with Perceptor's medical incompetence.

Re: Who/What Killed Optimus Prime?

I know that most people think Rodimus killed prime because he got in the way and prevented prime from shooting megatron as he was used as robotic meat shield, but megatron had time to grab the gun already because he was able to grab it. and then there was a short amount of time before rodimus actually jumped on his back. in my opinion, either way optimus would have been shot. So lets stop the hate on poor rodimus ;D

To me.. it always look like Rodimus got Prime killed. That's what I think.

Damn, now that I think about it, you may have something there. Damn Perceptor How can a couple blasts from a small gun fatally wound the Autobot Leader?

Prime did it to himself, waited to long to pull the trigger and Meg's just took advantage of it. Hotrod was useless either way

Optimus, not unlike Padme, simply lost the will to live.

Yah that hesitation when Megatron asks him to "grant him mercy" always bugged me.

Re: Who/What Killed Optimus Prime?

I voted Perceptor. If Ratchet was still alive Prime would've lived. But everyone knows it's really Hot Rod's fault.
