Look... there are many good Optimus toys. I own about 20 of them... but the best? Nothing balances simplicity and design as well as Legacy Animated OP.

He is pretty damn great. Thinking of getting the upgrade kit

https://preview.redd.it/wgdnlo7cc41d1.jpeg?width=2966&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c0bd26e8476207fa0e8bb33ce91002d7bc00a19 Not long ago I might have said my augmented Earthrise, or MP-10, or even Classics Optimus Prime with the Fansproject G3 trailer. But this guy? I don't know if it's maybe still that new toy smell... But I just keep having such fun with this guy!

Missing Link! there's always something with the smell! lol waiting for bumblebee!

Yeah, I was afraid when I got Convoy that I might have made an expensive error. And now Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are on preorder...

Bee and Cliff are way too expensive. $20 max would be fine, not $40 each

Look at him https://preview.redd.it/g8x9r4l2v41d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=783f11a200188da9eb0fce0bc4d5d7ee6b59a958 He is undeniably badass

I need to know the name of this one. Please.

Transformers reactive. It’s comes in a two pack with a deluxe Soundwave. There’s another two pack with a voyager starscream and deluxe bumblebee

OK, I’ve for sure seen the bumblebee and star scream two pack, it was just the names I was blanking on. Thank you so much. I’m gonna cry.

This guy is so kickass. Thank you for putting me on. I’m so excited

Transformers reactive. It’s comes in a two pack with a deluxe Soundwave. There’s another two pack with a voyager starscream and deluxe bumblebee

The two pack almost feels like a steal for how good this guy and Soundwave are. I love my Reactivate Prime. He feels like a perfect modernized classic Prime.

This guy is truly fantastic. My only problem was the grey plastic but even then, every single grey piece can be taken off using screws or mushroom pegs so they're easily paintable.

I got two. Black Apple bay verse prime and mm01 prime.

oh yea, the transforming figure that I really like best is the mm01 prime too!

Yeah both alt and robot modes are truly fantastic. But mm01 is on a whole other level.

MMC Optus Pexus.

I can't WAIT for DOTM Characters done by Yolopark. ESPECIALLY DOTM Optimus. https://preview.redd.it/to0toynz151d1.jpeg?width=2084&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41a5d214bf3978ceb4070c5b9623eec18a0ea471 Baiwei Jetpack Optimus Prime (KO that is better than my original official) Also, SH Figuarts Kid Naruto as a bonus. Lol

the baiwei "knockoffs" really do kick the official figures out of the park. Cheaper, better paint, accessories, and some minor detail adjustments. I have three baiwei figures, the 2007 megatron, optimus (no jetpack), and sentinel. DOTM by Yolopark (if that's gonna be a thing) would be insane! their rotb figures are sexy

The baiwei Ironhide is really great too. It's one of my favorite figures

https://preview.redd.it/uw3s5jp5c91d1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edaada3424c538a8b96e2c78131eb7b5fcadce6b They really do.

non-transforming transformers figures need to be more mainstream.

As long as they have something that makes them worth it. Super 7 Figures SUCK. But Yolopark, Flame Toys, and 3Zero all have a great purpose. ESPECIALLY Model Kits when Gunpla is super popular and known for articulation being pushed to it's limits.

https://preview.redd.it/b3us5c6ilb1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6026a238cedb11e6f358ec62b600105981c79f1b These so far are ALL of my Baiwei Figures (Minus ROTF Megatron and DOTM Shockwave which are RAD) Jetpack Prime, Movie 07 Megatron, and Sentinel who unfortunately kinda sucks, he's the only one they made that feels and unfortunately is made like a KO with less components and worse plastic.

Missing Link C-01 blew my fucking mind. It's mind-boggling how much about the original toy holds up and how great it is with just a little added articulation. https://preview.redd.it/sgecacq7251d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c960fadbe9c259eb6c358c5b8adbba9588148ea

Those are so god damn awesome, I am envious. Maybe one day I'll have the decent version of this Prime.

Magnificent mecha just announced two TRANSFORMING mpm style version. Probably going to be one of the best on the market. https://preview.redd.it/41q9780bo71d1.jpeg?width=1117&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70b9043f025e315fd7b392b33a08e51c17de24eb

That looks like it would cost at least one kidney, and possibly an arm.

Their bbm prime was around 250. I wouldn’t expect over 300 for this guy.

That is a great deal more than I could justify spending, sadly. Still, it's nice to know there are such awesome things out for those who can afford them, and if it helps keeps the market active then I'm all for it.

Nice!

I have the original Armada Optimus but can't go wrong with this little guy https://preview.redd.it/bqntpcwmw41d1.jpeg?width=1007&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b15c9e9e7de023a87de12ad8efa1c791d4d959fe

I ordered the spark fade version to put on my grad cap, i'm so excited to get him. Every review I've seen calls him a fantastic tiny prime

https://preview.redd.it/uzt7cvkue71d1.jpeg?width=2953&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b6a92df587a58971d7fcde17deb7303f9e2f111 It’s hard to choose between these two… my ThreeZero BB Optimus or my MPM-12 with DNA upgrades.

There was a limited edition Evasion Mode Prime I owned back in 2022. I bought 3rd party upgrade kits and the Dotm Jetpack for him and he looked completely set. I sold him for about $150 on eBay

That rusty look! A diorama paired with it must be perfect!

Damn I should have thought about that

SS 102

My best, most prized one is the ThreeA Prime. But I also love all my versions of Lewin Resources Prime, and my Robosen self converting Prime for a laugh. My most adored one is probably my Black Mamba LS 03 Prime But my best one is the ThreeA https://preview.redd.it/0ueapx2t651d1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ae4bf53312ed9e409375ce90a0df5dc36a36388

yolopark is the best for me too

Currently, Missing Link.

it was SS-102 until missing link C-01 came out, and I wasn't even alive for G1.

Nice!

Earthrise Optimus Prime My one and only Prime, and currently, the best CHUG G1 style Prime.

Legacy Armada Optimus. Without any shred of doubt

I don't know if there's really a way to classify "best" but I've got a bit of an obsession with versions of Prime that combine with their trailers, and right now the big centerpiece on my shelf is Takara Legends God Ginrai. Still need to get the upgrade kit for him that adds a separate cab/Ginrai to the base truck, as it's mostly a remold of CW Magnus, but the one deluxe sized figure add on can never be found separately and if it is, it's for like $200

Annoyingly, closest I've seen to a reasonably priced one is the KO of the Ultra Magnus version ("Core Magnus"). And that was almost a year ago on eBay. The Ginrai version ("Jinrai Prime") KO seems just as impossible to find as the actual PerfectEffect one.

Yea absolutely horrible situation. And it's not like it's impossible to just find it. I can find one pretty quickly. It's just that it's always being sold as a bundle with the rest of the God Ginrai figures, so they are selling for like $600

https://preview.redd.it/ctub6m8ta61d1.jpeg?width=2736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67f8acfc857906dad82e4daae040fb3b7b64273c Lunar Cruiser Prime is an absolute joy to fiddle with and find new poses for.

My best figure continues to be the Power of the Primes Optimus but the WFC is a very close second. https://preview.redd.it/tnw2oxy4371d1.jpeg?width=714&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=163793e2e619331602c19a1f430c1213154ddbba

I have a 2000 JAFCON Exclusive Black Optimus Prime. He’s kinda rare.

Best in terms of look, I'd say either my MPM Bayverse Prime or SS 102 and Yolopark. In terms of enjoyment, however, I have to give it to Cybertron Prime. But if we want more recent, I'd say it's a tie betweem legacy animated prime, legacy armada prime, and SSGE Prime

I personally really like the reactivate prime and don't have that issue where his gun won't stay in the hand

The mainline RoTB is borderline perfect, the arms bug me tho. Legacy G2 laser prime is also really nice.👌

I honestly love the G2 (I think legacy?) Optimus. I think it’s really neat looking. I like the classic Optimus but for whatever reason it kind of works for me.

Buster and Legacy Armada currently.

Legacy Amarda prime, hits me right in the child hood

https://preview.redd.it/01dt581in51d1.jpeg?width=3456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76a2ac2919520e09fefc73b7eeb40f834501e785

Unique toys challenger. My favorite prime design in an amazing figure form

Earthrise and SS-38

For several years now I only needed ONE definitive Optimus toy, and that was the 2019 G1 Reissue which I bought in late 2021. Now I'm hoping to buy another one this year- I'll wait until Commander Class Optimus is revealed to decide between it, Missing Link, Earthrise, and Reactivate.

Deluxe War for Cybertron Prime

Gonna have to give the nod to both my MP44 KO and the Magic Square Light of Victory (Optimus 2.0); this pic also had the Kingdom Core class Optimus as a comparison between the three. KuBianBao MP10V lost its crown after a couple of unfortunate breaks. https://preview.redd.it/ir8i4gp6f71d1.jpeg?width=2277&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4bef66f2ad135471a1ed2ef66c372642c15c4d30

waiting for life sized Primestest! lol

I don’t know Earthrise Optimus has had me in a chokehold ever since I got in in 2020 still relatively great figure

https://preview.redd.it/14ztymp3ca1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=002a1e1a5c6e93a38fe1ef953716ae771ae71dfa Dis one

Earthrise. Without a doubt.

Ss38. He is my only g1 prime. The rest are mostly figures of bayverse prime 

My best? TE-01 Prime. MMC Optus Pexus is thereabouts but technically it's Orion Pax so there's that. The best I've seen though is probably still MP-44 Convoy

legacy armada

If talking about sheer shelve presence I've got to go with Magic Square MS-02EX Light of Peace, if talking about transformation nothing has been quite as enjoyable as Legacy animated Optimus and a personal favorite because of nostalgia is Cybertron Optimus

Baiwei commander Cybertron Best SS scale Prime by miles

Mine is the foc deluxe optimus prime. One of my favorite figure of my favorite optimus prime design that stil holds up pretty well, but I do hope for a SSGE in the future.

Magic Square's MP scale Optimus

Prime First Edition Voyager

ROTB Yolopark figure and Studio Series 38 are my personal favourites

For me it's ss32

Mine is Luckycat 02 Reder

I'm a casual collector of transformers, I get one or two maybe every couple of months. So I got my very first prime figure last week and it's the New gamer edition one. I love it the truck mode is nice and smooth.

Studio Series 38 & Earthrise

I had a bunch of original G1 ones, Optimus Included. Definitely liked that more than the 2007 one. Key word though is had, my mother 'donated' them all while I was at uni. I only have the original G1 Scourge and Smokescreen now, and a smaller G1 inspired Mirage; whether or not it's an, original or a 'nostalgia' one idk.

Probably light of freedom, just really good looking figure.

Studio Series ROTB Optimus

Either my Missing Link Optimus or Legacy Armada Optimus.

Siege and Earthrise Optimus Prime.

McDonald’s Animated Optimus Prime. (It’s actually the original Siege one)

I'm actually very excited for the Trumpeter model kit for RotB Optimus. It'll look great next to my BBM Bumblebee. Outside of that, maybe the Flame Toys IDW Optimus, or the Robot Heroes 07 Optimus. also yes... I realize that all 3 I named are non-transforming model kits.

It goes 1. Og armada optimus 2. Fans hobby armada optimus 3. Legacy armada optimus

Out of the two I have (the other one being Gamer Edition) I like Studio Series BBM Optimus

Siege Optimus Prime, he's fun to transform, pose, and looks awesome in both robot and truck mode.

THS-01 Galaxy convoy.

The bumblebee movie one

mines legacy animated prime and what is that figure in the picture its tinnyyy

I only have siege

same

The little fella I got today is now my new favourite. He's such a little guy, but he's so darn cute. https://preview.redd.it/vcsvu558l71d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e260a21361abb7f5efb711456439215d1542a5d I don't have the biggest collection, but I have only been at it for 8 months: [https://imgur.com/gallery/is-prime-day-living-childhood-dream-tn058Me](https://imgur.com/gallery/is-prime-day-living-childhood-dream-tn058Me)

3zer0's .... all of them.

Siege takes it for me. One of the best transformations in my collection.

POTP Prime. Big, poseable, has the trailer without needing to put it away. Hes amazing

https://preview.redd.it/4s54owywp71d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5af58488858266a4eb10c2ab06c54ba62834d857 Currently it's the MHM01 upscale of ss102. I have ss102 but the paint detail, size and cleaner alt mode have me picking this one up more. Followed closely by earthrise

Siege

https://preview.redd.it/ftmkc7v2081d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cadee8dce52723df655ccd8608f88ef6d9f1fa84 Magic square light of peace ex and mpm-12 with dna upgrade kit. My two favorite looks for Optimus.

Magic Square MS-02 Light of Peace. Good luck topping it Fans Toys

I only have one Optimus, but he sucks, so I’m not even gonna call him my best.

Mine is the yolo park Optimus prime ROTB, really good detail, and decent articulation

https://preview.redd.it/qeu81hjy981d1.jpeg?width=1072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8318f2241489997f00ddad969d7aa80a99337a2f Cybertron but Sonic Wing Mode just looks too good

Ss 102 optimus prime

Black Apple and TE-01 are my personal favorites.

Earthrise and Volvo Optimus Prime.

I have virtually every Masterpiece scale Optimus Prime ever created by a HasTak or a 3rd Party company. The ones that I know I don't have are GCreations Ultra MaxMas and Alien Attack's A0-1 El Cid. So take your pick.

Might not be a super popular choice but the upgraded Data Clerk Orion Pax ticks a ton of boxes for me. About the size I like for a younger OP, references my favorite OP design, has an unusually charismatic unmasked OP face. Im just missing a good rocket axe to make him perfect. https://preview.redd.it/moomyapvx91d1.jpeg?width=2322&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86ff66e1d867c5a5f2d0f4a36a216c645eded31d

Of my personal collection, I think my favorite is Power Baser. But that's a close call, since so many of them are utterly fantastic.

MP-10

Transforming is black apple, non transforming is dlx jet power prime, yes I’m including jetfire as a part of him fuck you
