The early script also explained the death scene of Optimus Prime differently. Since the Matrix of Leadership had not been "thought up" at that time, Optimus Prime would have handed over an entirely different object to Ultra Magnus: namely, his own "essence". A white-colored Optimus Prime would have emerged from his body to take place inside Ultra Magnus. This idea clearly originated from Ultra Magnus' toy form, which was basically just a white version of Optimus wearing blue and red colored armor. The final script rewrote this scene, thus the inner white "Optimus Prime" of Ultra Magnus never got referenced in the cartoon. However, later incarnations of the character frequently depicted him as nothing more than a white Optimus Prime.
