Likewise. This may be the only time "not" killing off a character is surprising.
I love how they built up the death of Optimus, and passing of the torch to Smokescreen, ala Transformers: The Movie. And at the last moment, Smokescreen's, "this isn't how the story is supposed to end" was as if the writers were saying, "You didn't it like this route in 1986, you won't like it now. So instead, here's the beloved hero with souped up weapons, armor and a jetpack undoing everything the Decepticons built over four episodes in 5 minutes. Enjoy!"
Loved Starscream's "I recognize that color scheme." line. What a fun episodes.
