Maybe a different head-sculpt, his transformable gun, crisper paint apps, and make his swords slide out intead of swing out.
If we are talking a new series, I would like to see a revised G1 Prime. More articulation, better paint apps, just a new mold that keeps enough of the original G1 Prime to feel like it is just an updated version.
Looking for anything RiD or Car Robots. Specifically, Fire Convoy, Megatron, and the Autobot Brothers.

I still kinda wanted a Animated Prime that had his grapple launchers. Quote:

I'm talking completely new design here.
In retrospect, I probably should have made the title " A new Prime" rather then " the".
Seems some may have thoguht I meant the next movie Prime figure. I just ment a new Prime in general. | |

Robot mode would essentially be G1 Primes, with more guns (the trailer combines with him). Quote:

a 'masterpiece' voyager-sized line would be very cool indeed. | |

I mean, who wouldn't want a new "masterpiece" voyager-sized Megatron?

#17 | | Terrorcon Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,933 News Credits: 1 | I think Optimus is the one thing you really shouldn't mess too much with. Pick a slightly different model of truck, change proportions and brightness/darkness of his paint scheme, Give him longer/shorter antennae, smoke stacks, etc. These are the sort of things you can get away with changing. So long as he's still recognisably Optimus, and so long as it looks good.
Optimus is one of those core things that even people outside the fandom can relate to, and I don't think there's anything to be gained by going back to the drawing board and starting from scratch.
What I'd like to see in the immediate future is a return of the trailer. There can be no topping the current Leader Optimus mold. So if it were up to me, TF3 Leader Optimus would be a smaller scale version of the same truck that now combines with a trailer. Powermaster Prime. Pretty simple. | |

Collection Count: 63 and Growing | Bumblethumper gives a good point about how they shouldn't mess with Prime's design too much. You asked what we would like to see in a new Prime, and I said a new G1-esque Prime. It would be a new mold with a new transformation, paint scheme, and a new-but-same-old-Optimus look.

WWII GI Joe Prime from the cancelled Dreamwave series was one design I thought looked incredible. However, the 20's gangster truck Prime from GI Joe vs 2 was my absolute favorite non-toy design ever, one I would adore seeing in plastic.
Google them. | |

But I'm talking about a new design overall, not a rehash of what has been. | |
