    I don’t have a problem with this...

    Is that a bad thing?

    Don’t worry guys, red is too hard to film, now let’s go make a high speed chase scene on highway with robots transforming, that should be easier than filming red!

    Thanks. Bumblebee helped me forget the Bay movies and that image triggered a conflicting burst of loathing and panic in my fight-or-flight center.

    I actually would like this very much - it does a lot to sell me that it's movie Optimus (if the Bee movies are prequels/soft reboots like I think) while also illustrating that there's really not much separating the two designs. After months of silent bitching about how they're G1-izing Bayverse, it's a good reminder that the two really aren't all that different design-wise.

    What was up with the whole "red is hard to film" thing? Red has been being filmed since color film has been around, and I've never noticed it looking worse than any other colors...

    I love it. Hope we do get a figure or custom with that design. TLK is the last time we'll see the OP flame look and i'm gonna miss it. :(

    As a toy repaint of that lovely new voyager figure? Certainly!

    As being seen on screen in an actual future film? Hmm...only if it's used as a temporary gag that makes sense in the narrative. Say for example, something where Prime is put in a situation in which he has to stay in truck mode to keep his cover and he gets repainted as this.

    Maybe some smugglers steal him for their smuggling operation, and repaint him with the flames so the cops or Autobots (or ooh, even better, Autobot Prowl!) don't find him/the "stolen" truck? Or maybe Prime has to infiltrate a custom/collector car show and goes undercover with these flames to find the Decepticons hiding among the vehicles (like Knockout or the Stunticons)? Mmhhh? That would be interesting. Only then would it make sense for something like the flames to be applied.

    But as for the flames becoming a permanent change to Knight's 80's-esque Prime design? No. I'd want it to strictly be a throwback reference to the Bay films like how Travis threw in a young Simmons into the BumbleBee movie. Just callback fan service. A little something we can have fun with.;)

    Its nothing I'm terribly interested in, but It'd taste a lie to say you didn't do good work

    Definitely, if Red or anyone else could do it in either Powered Convoy or SG Optimus colors I'd love to see that too

    looks like a mid-life crisis.

    - like someone you knew and respected, who seemed to know what they were doing, and then next time you meet them out of nowhere they've got some ill-judged tattoos and are loudly dressed in their limited understanding of 'what the kids are wearing' and it's at odds with their whole persona and undermines the entire perception of who they are and what they stand for.

    If it's a simple toy repaint, so what, who cares. Someone will like it. For a whole movie: probably not the best way to go!
