The problem alluded to in the title of this episode is the handiwork of Megatron. Having assembled a Transformer duplication machine, the leader of the Decepticons creates an evil clone of Autobot leader Optimus Prime. Further complicating matters is the presence of a duplicate Starscream, whom the Decepticons use to mislead the Autobots into following the phony Prime-a ruse that will mean certain death for all of them. First seen in America on October 2, 1985, "A Prime Problem" was written by Dick Robbins and Bryce Malek. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
