    Which do you think it's the best design for Movie Optimus Prime? I personally prefer the first trilogy Optimus Prime design better, mainly because I can at least see some vehicle parts on him. But with his Knight design, I cannot see a single vehicle part on him apart from the smoke stacks?

    I prefer the design of the first trilogy.But, I think the knight design is a lot better than what ppl give it credit for...sure not much of the truck is seen..not exactly the perfect design of a transformer..but to be honest for what was intended,the result is great...definetly a great design optimus looks awesome !
    I like them both,but first trilogy design wins as a regular transformer design..but knight design was not supposed to look "regular" it was meant to look something special so I excuse it for not containing a lot of the elements we arw used to see....

    TF1/ROTF. To me it's almost become classic. The knight design would be okay if it had actual truck parts as the armour.

    I do like the AOE/TLK face, though.

    For me it's a draw between the TF 1/ROTF and Evasion Prime.

    Best Prime design for me is from DOTM. AOE and TLK are too scary

    I'm going to have to agree. The one on the left actually looks like....... A TRANSFORMER. The TLK/AOE design (while nice looking) looks like something out of Lord of the Rings.

    Depends on what you are looking for. The first design's more kibble form that makes him appear more like a robot wearing car-part armor, or the knight form that is cleaner but can look like a jaeger.

    Personally I prefer the first design, as it is more colorful.

    I know this is unpopular, but I LOVE Prime's knight form. It just looks so amazing to look at. I hope we get a more accurate one that has more poseability in the Studio Series line.

    I get why most choose the original trilogy's design, but I'm someone who loves the medieval times. So the knights theme is what I'm all about. I do appreciate the first design however.

    I like them both for different reasons and im not sure I could pick a favorite.

    Trilogy 1 Optimus is almost a classic design now, he has the heroic look and decent amount of vehicle kibble. I also like that he has more red, making him closer to all the other iterations of Optimus.

    Aoe/Tlk Optimus is just a badass looking robot. You see that and just know its going to kick some serious ass. I really liked the idea of making him knight themed and i love the shield and medieval sword. And his redesigned face is so much better than the old design. Its much more streamlined and much more expressive.

    I think taking the knight design and throwing a good deal of old Optimus design features on him would make it perfect. Have the windshield on his chest, give him wheels on his hips and ankles, give him toes like the old design, and give him more red in his robot and truck mode. (Maybe sneak his trailer hitch into his lower back as an added bonus?). Then he would be perfect to me

    I prefer the general design of the first trilogy Optimus (and that truck), but I like the proportioning of the new design more. If I had to choose a favorite, I'd go with the AOE/TLK version for that reason. He looks a bit more heroic to me. Something about the first trilogy Optimus has always looked a little too skinny and lanky (especially in the first film, I think he looks better in the sequels). Also, the nose is a little big and the mouth sits too low. If you beefed up that design and gave him a face more like AOE/TLK Optimus, that would be great.

    The designs in the first three films were all the same with the exception of the combined mode with Jetfire's corpse and the added trailer containing a flight pack in DotM. I prefer that one by the way.

    Evasion mode is cool too when it's in the G1 colors but in the movie he looked like Magnus.

    The Knight design the main thing that bothers me is it looks like he has boobs.

    The first trilogy design is a classic. In the top 3 Optimus Prime designs of all time along with G1 and Cybertron.
