    If this had been Optimus's alt mode for Prime I would have bought it sight on scene.This thing embodies the true meaning of Optimus hands down.

    That puts the one they used to shame. It looks so much cooler. Why couldn't they have gone with this one?

    Because that alt mode would not be able to transform into his final robot mode design.

    It looks cool and all but both alt modes and robot modes have to be tweaked until they both hit a certain balance where both end up with the detailing and proportions that each one needs out of the other.

    The thick smokestacks in that design for example would look ugly on the robot mode's back in my opinion and the shieldshield doesn't look like it could properly turn into the final design's chest configuration and the back portion doesn't look like it is long enough to end up the robot's full leg design.

    Very nice. I know we're already getting an Orion Pax, but I would not be opposed to a new Neo-classics Optimus (voyager of course) with this alt mode.

    Am I the only one who likes both this design and the one used in Prime?

    Anyway this can work beautifully as a Generations Voyager Optimus for Thrilling 30.

    As am I.

    I concur whole-heartedly.

    Fired? I don't know. But I'd be happy to get a Hemi Orange 1969 or 2012 Charger Autobot on-screen as a bribe to keep him employed. :D ream:

    I thought the 'true meaning of Optimus' was Peace, Love, and ROLL!

    No, you don't HAVE to use a long nose semi to get more mass. You can use a longer sleeper cab COE to get more mass also.

    I feel that any time I share BadFlip's designs, he should get news credit as well.

    Hopefully we get more than one character a week: according to him he got to do a dozen or so and the majority of the Thirteen. Freelance artist that really, really should be on Hasbro's payroll for designing off-screen characters.
