Who's the best version of Optimus?
Optimus Primal is not included because he's Optimus' descendant, this isn't the strongest version either.

Mine is hands down, Animated Optimus Prime.

 

Yeah, I'd like to pick Armada but uh...

 

Uh, you can pick Unicron Trilogy Optimus since Armada is apart of Unicron Trilogy.

 

Animated as well

 

Yeah, but he is very different from Energon, who is very different from Cybertron.

 

Animated by far.

 

Animated is King!

 

Bayverse, obviously. Though we'll see what the new movie does with him.

 

A tie between the OG G1 cartoon Optimus Prime and the face stealing Bayformer Optimus Prime

 

The only other belevolent leader who comes close to Animated Prime imo is Optimus Primal. He's a very close second, the only close second in my mind. For me, Bayformers Prime and G1 Rodimus Prime are at the bottom of the "good leaders list".

 

I loved him to bits as well. He doesn't count tho, since he's Optimus Prime's descendent.

 

My main man Cybertron Prime.

 

i know this is from the Japanese bumper break but it makes me wish that the entire show was animated (no pun intended) in this style instead of the weird flat art style that we got that made Derrick J. Wyatt's designs look poor in quality.

 

Probably a tie between G1, animated, and Bayverse.

 

G1 Prime hands down, no contest. Although, growing up I enjoyed Powermaster Prime quite a bit. Between his base mode and massive firepower, and his sheer size, he was a lot of fun.

 

No matter how much the character has changed over the years, to me you just can't beat the original. The other versions are good, but gotta go old school for my choice. G1 Optimus FTW!

Runner up: her.

 

G1, Animated and Movie verse.

 

TFA.

Optimus Primal technically is my favourite but he is not a Prime.

 

No RID01 Prime?
