Hasbro seemed to repeat the events of "The Transformers: the Movie" when they took Optimus Prime away in "Transformers Prime: Predacons Rising". The next series picks up years after those events...but it does not seems as if Hasbro plans on bringing Optimus back in physical form...only as a part of Primus.

This is unacceptable. The fans' responses of Optimus' death in 1986 made it quite clear that there are people who cannot go on without this character...fictitious or not. It is perfectly possible to tell a captivating story without breaking hearts.

Tell Hasbro you want Optimus back...and NOT as a ghost.
