    I've stewed on this for a couple days. I have a LOT of the Optimus Prime molds. To pick my favorite to Transform, it depends on my mood. Do I want simplicity? Do I want nostalgia? Do I want a sit down for an hour to transform it (looking at you WFC...)?

    My Top 5 in no particular order (again depending on mood):
    1. G1
    2. G1 PMOP
    3. SS38
    4. RID (Fire Convoy)
    5. PotP Leader

    (Just kidding about the WFC mold. I never want to transform it. Love the look of the OSKO on the shelf though.)

    Henkei Voyager! Not my favorite Prime toy by any means. I find his simple Transformation and sturdy blockishness pleasing for whatever weirdo reason. Plus the chrome is nice.

    My favorite is probably G1 Prime (both regular and pmop/Ginrai) right now, but I have a feeling MP-44 is going to usurp that very soon. Honorable mentions include Henkei Convoy, Car Robots Convoy, Cybertron Optimus Prime, and I think I’d like TE-01 if I had him. I’m a big panel-former fan.

    I actually quite enjoy Unique Toys Challenger. It's really the only good Prime I have in my collection as of right now. I just like how I can take almost literally the CGI model of AOE Optimus Prime and turn it into a Western Star truck. I love the thing.

    To toss in a dark horse candidate - G2 Laser Optimus Prime. (or RID Scourge). The transformation is simple yet solid, and the little bit where the head flips down into a little stomach locker is interesting.

    Technically it's G1 Optimus but I'm going with the Device Label retool simply because I much prefer the cartoon accurate head sculpt. I always hated the original head with the unheroic, creepy yellow optics.
