    Whilst I prefer Prime's WFC robot design, his new alt mode is boss as fuck.

    I don't find that this version really looks all that much "bulkier" than the old one (which was pretty heavy duty to begin with). It looks blockier and more simplified than the old version, and I suppose I like it, because it channels the simple, bold heroic charm of his classic design. In that sense I guess it's an improvement, though I did like the first WFC design in general (maybe less for Prime than for another character).

    In robot mode he resembles Armada Prime, but up close, he's a bit more like Animated (those new, taller shoulders). Vehicle mode looks like G1.

    Very very slick. I will miss the WFC design, since that really felt like the definitive Optimus design for me, but I already dig this one. I'm eager to see if Ironhide, Bumblebee, Megatron, or other returning characters are updated as well, because I like what I see here!

    He does look a bit too chunky for the sake of being chunky

    As is, I think he needs bigger shoulders to help balance some things out. They look pretty weak right now

    Ops new alt-mode reminds me of the Suppressor from Carmageddon. A bit wider and more tank like than I'd imagine. All in all, I like everything I see.

    I don't think this is finalized but I kinda feel like they did the work on the alt mode first and then made the robot mode fit into it. If the proportions on the chest, shoulders and legs were tweaked a little bit, I think we'd have a winner. Right now, Prime doesn't look like he's capable of standing up straight without his calves touching.

    Optimus Prime's head mold sure look like Big Convoy's head mold.

    The alt mode is awesome, but that robot mode is, well, pretty awful.

    No it's because it's alpha footage.

    I'm sure it'll look better when finalized, but I think they took the bulk too far. He's a bit too "Dreamwave Marshmallow-Bot" for me so far. I thought the design from the first design was already pretty beefy, but I understand the desire to change it up.

    Exactly..also I think they might have tinkered a bit too much here, the WFC design was great (loved the old head). Ah well, it is still early.
