When Decepticon gives up, I`ll fold and give the answer.

Ok, last shot, after this, we should move on.

Not sure what Optimus died and came back as but was the merging between optimus and Ultra Magnus to create Omega Prime (God Fire Convoy).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Prime

and

Quote
Prime soon had other things to worry about, as Magnus arrived on Earth with the intention of taking what he believed was rightfully his - by force, if necessary. Severely injuring Prime, who refused to fight back, Magnus tracked him to a desert island, where he pretended to offer him the hand of friendship, only to attempt to absorb the Matrix for himself, forcing the brothers into the combined form of Omega Prime (God Fire Convoy).


from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(other_incarnations)
That's Mr. Deception to you.

That's what I was thinking, but couldn't find anything that came right out and said that.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Okay. Let's break this down. First, we need to figure out our Generation 1 Japanese Transformers series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers#Generation_One_.281984.E2.80.931992.29

They are: Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, and Zone.

Now, let's find which series contained our Famous Autobot Leader. Headmasters did have Optimus and decepticon did post a vid where he was killed. Rodimus was in fact the successor but in that series, Optimus was never brought back and thus, did not merge with Rodimus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_The_Headmasters#Story

In Masterforce, the story really doesn't follow where Headmasters left off. While the series was going on in Japan, the US saw the toy releases. The toy we know as Powermaster Optimus Prime was the star of the Masterforce series along with the Pretender's line of TF toys. But Optimus (who is actually a 19 yr old truck driver... !) doesn't die. In fact, the last episode of the series is rather badass!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Super-God_Masterforce

On to Victory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers:_Victory#Story
You`ll see in the Story section it states right away: "Victory is the story of the new Cybertron Supreme Commander, Star Saber". Whaaat? `Cybertron` in the Japanese series is the translation of Autobot. So where is the familiar leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime? Checking out the page for this Star Saber character:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Saber
"In the year 2025, a skilled swordsman named Star Saber is chosen by God Ginrai as leader of the Autobots." God Ginrai?! Click on his page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginrai
Optimus Prime from Masterforce! And his page states that he was rebuilt as Victory Leo after being killed by "the new Decepticon emperor, Deszaras" (Megatron basically.. just really bad ass looking.) Victory Leo, and the new Autobot (Cybertron) leader Star Saber could merge to form Victory Saber.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginrai#Victory_Leo

And now for the merge sequence.

Victory Saber


Battle Up!!

Ok, so now onto my original question, with a bit of clarification....

What is the distance between Jupiter and Uranus (in Astronomical Units) right now (not min, max, or avg)?
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

You are correct....though by the time I woke up this morning to double-check your answer, it had stretched to a full 16.42 ;)

That's nice and all, but there's an even easier way, which I will not divulge so I can continue using it as a resource for other items.

So do you have a question for us oh great Shoctor?
