Once upon a time, Hasbro in 1986 decided it was a good idea to kill off the original Optimus Prime in the animated TF movie. The plan at the time was to keep him dead and it was emphasized in the episode Dark Awakening when he was revived as an undead Autobot to fight Rodimus until he awoke and sacrificed himself again. Fan demand among other factors caused Hasbro to change their minds.

DC comics killed Superman in the 90's by having him fight the Hulk....er sorry I meant Doomsday (silly me I get those characters confused at times), and while they made a few claims at the time that his death was to be permanent, I never believed them simply because this was SUPERMAN that we were speaking of, regardless of the status of the Superman lawsuits at the time they were not going to leave Superman dead for good.

Now CoH is killing off its version of Superman/Optimus Prime......we'll see how long it lasts.

It will definitely be available only for the Super Pack. If that ever changes, it will be later giving the Super Packs a limited time of exclusivity.

She is behind the supers with the coffin, and she is not a longbow...
I think that's Penelope Yin, judging from her costume change in WW6
