G1
.....and Cyberverse now

 

See my Profile. Hero Prime will always be the real G2 prime to me and he needs to make a comeback!

 

IDW G1.

 

Beast Hunters (Prime S3) is my favorite though i like G1, Animated, TF 07-DOTM, Prime S1-S2 and WFC/FOC as well

 

I love the G1 design by far and the only one that comes close is the WfC/FoC Optimus which is a great modern take on the design

 

G1.

 

I voted for Armada just because it is something different I feel and deserves something. really I like all of his designs besides his RID2015 looks.

 

Original trilogy bayverse Prime.

But g2 laser prime holds a special place in my heart for some reason.

 

G1 Optimus has been one of my favorites, if not my most favorite. However, I've acquired a taste for some more "varied" designs that have come throughout the franchise.

One of my votes is for the Powermaster "super" look. I have a classic toy of the guy. I've begun to favor a conventional cab vs. the classic cab over, but this is a cool look to take Optimus to another level. There are a bunch of small deviations such as the shoulder cannons, chest, etc that make the super form quite cool.

Armada Optimus might be my favorite of the lot I voted for. Built tough, with some somewhat aggressive looking details such as the large wheel well shoulders and a grill chest which nicely contrasts the standard window pecks.

I also voted Bayverse, which is controversial in and of itself, but I am going to take it one step closer and specify it as the AOE/TLK design. The first trilogy design is a pretty cool one in some sense and has more "looks like it can transform" merits, but TLK is really where it's at. They took the original trilogy design and gave it a facelift — literally — smoothing down the details and removing that super weird large nose thing. Then, they gave Optimus a medieval twist. He has a certain solidity and toughness to him, owing to the walking suit of armor look. He also somehow manages to seem moody, aggressive — so pretty much exactly how this particular Prime is depicted. The biggest stand out is probably the segmented gauntlet forearms. Really, they are the focal point of this design for me. Can probably take away most of the rest of it (sans head, nontraditional chest and collar) while retaining the gauntlets and I plain wouldn't mind. Definitely could use more of a transformable vibe. I generally dislike designs that don't look like they can transform.

I voted "other" as well. That refers to the IDW Combiner Wars era design. A beefy yet sleek tweak on the G1 look with some nice touches like the wheels in the forearms and the forearm panels. Also, love the segmented window chest with a recessed Autobot symbol. Looks more dynamic and strong than the classic window chest.

 

Love the G2 Primes - Hero Optimus, and the greatest design ever:

G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime!

 

The original Bayverse trilogy is number 1 for me, followed by the AoE/TLK design.
