Hey! Got a design topic in my head so I'm on your page again! The excitement over Leo Prime made me realize he's really just Optimus Prime with a lion skin on...a winning formula I say. OP's the strongest design of the OG Autobots by far and has always stood out in a group of heroes that always looked way less cool than the bad guys. Prime is almost always the standout in any generation or series though...
...But this is the opinion of someone who first saw 80s TF reruns in kindergarten and didn't really pay attention until Beast Wars. I want to know what you think about OP's design longevity, excitement factor, etc (and by extension, O.Primal, Leo Prime, Big Convoy, et.al.).
Ha! Just saw you posting on the Buzzsaw thread and thought...was that the same guy with all the thoughts on character design? Checked my note where I saved your posts and then came here, only to see that your last profile post was me! LOL
Maybe I should give a look at late G1/Euro G1 and G2 but I am not sure if there are any interesting observations to be made about that era. Then again, people overlook many of the details I pointed out about BW figures so it could be I'm myself overlooking details. It doesn't help that, unlike BW and G1 I don't have these figures or modern remake of them to explore in three dimension and reflect upon.
I'm willing to guess you'd have a few good thoughts it you perused a few images of the figures, maybe? Love to see what you come up with, if you do. But no pressure...lol. I probably need a few good weeks to ruminate on all you've said already! :)
