    I was just thinking about this topic while driving earlier today. I have to say MP01 is my favorite.

    That is an extremely difficult call.

    Probably Power of the Primes Optimus, then Siege, followed by Classics.

    Hasbro MP10. Comes with trailer, roller, matrix that sadly many OPs are lacking.
    #2 POTP leader OP. Has the trailer, matrix and bonus Orion Pax. Only issue is the alt mode doesn't look very good.

    I forgot about POTP Optimus when I made my first post here. Even though I prefer OP in Voyager scale, that toy is definitely a winner. I enjoy the "Evolution" gimmick that line had for its leaders and was glad to see it continue with the armor included in the Siege leaders. I just wish that Orion Pax's arms were better hidden in alt-mode.

    More or less. It's not the exact same though. It's old leader sized.

    Honestly, my favorite's gotta be the Titanium Series War Within Optimus Prime. War Within is my favorite design, and the figure really did it justice.

    I think I probably own every G1 inspired Prime so this was hard. So I included my top 10 in order of preference.

    1. G1 Powermaster Prime (my first prime)
    2. New Year Convoy (G1 Prime with Blue Windows)-favorite version of original G1 prime
    3. MP-10
    4. G2 Laser Prime
    5. Magna Convoy from Micron legends (This was a repaint of armada prime that was a TRU japan exclusive)
    6. Armada Prime - original version (nostalgia)
    7. MP-01
    8. Actionmaster Optimus Prime (not a popular choice I know)
    9. Nucleon Quest Convoy
    10. Siege voyager Prime

    While siege prime seems low at number 10, it is actually impressive that it beats out most other modern versions of prime, except for masterpiece versions. It just shows how special of a figure it is. I hope they release a premium version with a more detailed paint job.

    I had that too. That was my G1 optimus. I really had no idea it was different from the original release.
