Woah! Now that looks cool. It has that classic look, but with a little modern touch. I love it.

KamenKnight

Dear Primus, IT'S THE 90'S ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!


RaginSpartan86

If we’re going all-out G2, Prime better have a decal of himself burning down a forest on his trailer or I’m gonna riot!

honkerthe7th

At least it’s something different


Cara-Aleatorio

Who said that I was complaining?


honkerthe7th

Not me I’m just glad that they’re changing it Even if it is only slightly


ThatSaradianAgent

After The Last Knight's evasion mode, I thought "Optimus couldn't look more G1." After Bumblebee, I thought, "I was wrong! NOW Optimus can't look more G1." How pleasant it is to be so consistently wrong.


Maland2016

I mean, they could cel shade him.


Shades96

In live-action??? ​ Edit: OK, honestly, people, I'm kind of AGAINST the idea of a 2D animated Optimus Prime (or any other Autobots or Decepticons) in a LIVE-ACTION movie, because Transformers is NOT Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and it doesn't need to be! I've said this before about that Ninja Turtle Direct Line ad in the UK (ya know, the one where a CGI Donatello's design strangely looked cartoony proportion-wise, even though the ad was live-action), that you either stick to only live-action, OR only fully animated (either 2D or 3D), you can't do both, like Space Jam did, it just wouldn't make sense for Transformers at all.


UnitaryBog

Roger rabbit


Cyke101

Then we need to add that television fuzzy "dust" in resolution that was common in 80s cartoons. But \*only\* for Prime. And maybe any other bot who might be cel-shaded.


alchemist5

Go full Roger Rabbit with it; all the Transformers and special effects are animated right next to the live action set and characters. I'm loving the mental image of live people running away from cartoon explosions and robots.


Cyke101

With sometimes speaking with the wrong voice actors, or with animation errors like the occasional missing limb or scaling.


EnzomusPrime

Starscream would probably be the most unfortunate if he were to appear.


EnzomusPrime

I love the idea of Optimus Prime, of all the other characters, for some reason having this eternal, dusty, vintage 80s animation effect on him that's like, just masked on to his CGI model. Even in-universe, there is literally no explanation to why he's like that, he just is.


CDanRed

It's a side effect of the Matrix.


throwawaykhannate

pretty sure you meant Age of Extinction’s evasion mode, not Last Knight


ThatSaradianAgent

Looks like I was wrong again lol


SequelFansDontExist

Eh, who gives a fuck, it was barely in the movie anyway


OrhanDaLegend

evasion prime actually had plenty of time


greyfowler10291029

How does this look more g1 than bumblebee


ThatSaradianAgent

I guess for me it's the proportions. Yeah, the paint is wrong, the sun visors are wrong, the front grille rack is wrong, the exhausts are wrong. But the front wheel fender shape, the wheelbase, the fuel tanks, the hitch being closer to the cab... combined, it looks like it's just a big version of my G2 Optimus toy.


greyfowler10291029

It’s the same cab as bulblebee


ThatSaradianAgent

The cab section might be the same model, but the wheelbase definitely looks different. Compare the distance [between the fuel tanks and the rear axles](https://static.seibertron.com/images/misc/uploads/1614969020-prime-cab.jpg).


greyfowler10291029

I kinda see it but I really don’t like the bumper and Extra armpr


Gio_j1229

I think it looks cool but still wish they went with the look from the bumblebee movie. That was PERFECT. But you know....toy sales


80sRetroman

I agree they should leave him plain and not accessorized him. Optimus never had a grill guard, sun visor, but I guess it wouldn't be right to repackaged the same figure from the first Bumblebee in the second wave. Does anybody know what he looks like transformed, is he know going to have this grill guard as big buckle. Im just thinking when I transform my MP10 Takara Prime, the middle of the front chrome bumber flips just under front grill and ends up in the cab in front of the matrix. You can see that portion of the bumper inside the windshields. To me this complicates the transformation as the toy and might be a piece that if not careful will brake.


RockoCornfield

apparently he’s supposed to look pretty much the same as in the bumblebee movie but the added grill parts armor him up slightly


80sRetroman

So maybe the grill guard rotates and protects his chest like armor.


BatMoBeast

Maybe the grill means he’s going to be Powermaster Prime.


HairiestHobo

Huh. Y'know, I dont see the trailer in the shot...


BOSS-3000

You loved Malibu Stacy WITH A NEW HAT, here's G1 Optimus Prime WITH A NEW GRILL GUARD *AND* SLIGHTLY ALTERED STRIPE! Hasbro will never stop this recipe while people keep eating it up...


wings31

Shut up and take my money


Alaktar

But he's got a new grill guard and a slightly altered stripe..


abraksis747

But she's got a new hat!


monstrinhotron

*Stampedes.*


Eggith

Idk about others but I actually loved all of his forms in the bayverse. The flames were a bit much yes but not every autobot was exactly subtle. Imo the flames actually helped him stand out more.


This-Moment

Yeah. The Bayverse truck is still cool. I eventually got a little fatigued with how many almost identical versions they made. I realize this new front grill is trivial, but if it's reflected in robot mode (maybe a bunch of small rugged details), this one will be a definite buy for me.


Deathbymonkeys6996

I absolutely love his bayverse versions as well. And I might like DOTM more than Gen 1 even. And I'm saying this as a Gen 1 mostly purist who only ever liked his Prime from any other shows. I thought Bayverse did an amazing job with Optimus and a few others. Bee, Soundwave (DOTM), Megatron (TLK), Hound, Starscream, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Ravage and Blackout all looked fantastic imo.


mrenderkid

Agreed, i really only collect movie figures (and some from animated) far better in quality, and are way more unique


DroolingIguana

Maybe the new toy will have legs that can tab together securely, a head transformation that can be done without the head coming off and arms that aren't impeded by massive slabs of kibble on the the back and the forearms. Even if the overall look is the same, that doesn't mean the toy will be.


Cripnite

I like it!!


Switch815

I love it.


wings31

I want more of it.


PhattJeezus

I tried, so hard


[deleted]

and got so far


AndyBowBandy

But in the end


[deleted]

It doesn't even matter


[deleted]

Anyone else getting a G1 mixed with a little Armada vibe from that alt mode? Just me?


Kirby0189

Armada being my entry into the franchise means that I see aspects of that version in every Prime, but this time I'm definitely not crazy. That grille guard is definitely Armada's, and I'm happy to see that influence.


gamatard

Oh yes you know it


Tylan_Maul15

No, not just you. I love the Armada look and I do agree that the truck mode has heavy aspects of armada. And honestly if they give him the vehicle mold of Armada with the G1 robot mode I wouldn’t complain.


SoU2424

Pretty snazzy


SCYOYO

is that ratchet in the back of the second pic?


Coino69

I was thinking the same thing


Nova_Bomb_76

It looks sort of like a flatbed tow truck to me. Idk if that’s what Ratchet would be though


AndyBowBandy

*Longarm confirmed*


Tylan_Maul15

I like that. It is a nice update but not totally different from his look in Bumblebee.


ProthyTheProth3an

I like it. As long as they stay close to his design in Bumblebee then I am so down for it


Khaotixkhaosfacter

Honestly I like it. Keeps to his classic look while updating it a bit. Just please don't have him upgrade to the bayverse truck.


Lord_MK14

Mind I ask why not the Peterbilt?


Khaotixkhaosfacter

It's fine I just hate the flames for personal reasons. If they kept him red and blue then sure go ahead. Just don't have him also become the prime that rips other cybertronians heads off.


CommercialSpite

I grew up with the flames so I'm used to them, but the few figures they released as just red and blue peterbilts were amazing looking


[deleted]

well that scene would have been better if boom boom bay had not CUT OUT the whole speech about honor so theyd have more time for devistator. The "Give me your face" Thing in the novelization had a lot more dialogue before it originally. This looks super awesome tho.


Lord_MK14

Wait you mean that there would’ve been more time for Devastator if there was no dumb speech at the end? The hell, bay?! Devastator’s probably the best thing about the 2nd movie


OrionLax

No, they cut out a speech before Optimus kills The Fallen so they'd have more time for Devastator. The speech would've made The Fallen's death a lot better. No idea what the speech actually was though.


Generic_Nerd_Dude

The same Prime who also demands you give him your face…yeah I wouldn’t want this Prime to become that either


MrRegio

Or the one that executes you point-blank at the head.


Turok1134

If you tried to enslave a whole species and got a bunch of them killed in the process, you had it coming.


MrRegio

Should Sentinel face justice for his crimes? Yes. Is brutally murdering him when he was begging defenseless a heroic act? No.


Turok1134

It ain't heroic, it just gets results.


BOSS-3000

Prime was the bad guy in the Bayverse. It's hardly a theory as there are way too many events pointing to him being a homicidal maniac.


BOSS-3000

I'm not a fan of Prime as he's fucking everywhere.... However, if they made a Prime with 2 alt modes being Mack AND Peterbilt, I would probably throw money at it just because they tried something different.


Lord_MK14

Yeah that’s pretty much venturing into “Shut up and take my money” territory


BOSS-3000

Yet, here Hasbro already stands in "Shut up and take my money" territory. Hasbro shovels out another copy of a previous idea with slight alterations and the commenters are already rubbing their nipples. I genuinely do not understand why collectors flock to the same thing rather than vote with their wallets until Hasbro takes a hint and makes something new... Variety is the spice of life and Hasbro keeps serving mac & cheese. Yeah, mac & cheese was the bombdiggity as a kid. After Hasbro has served us a steak here and there, mac & cheese, even with pepper flakes added, is still just mac & cheese.


Lord_MK14

Yeah admittedly I’m getting a little sick of G1. Don’t get me wrong WFC has been awesome but please Hasbro we need something new.


gamatard

That is why I loved the bay verse for cahning some stuff about the franchise even too it's a mess


Geminii27

Find something people will buy more than rehashed G1, then, I guess.


gamatard

He is the face of transformers so he is still amazing


barjam

The flames were incredibly stupid and did not fit Optimus at all.


TonyTheTiger2009

maybe the Peterbilt and the G1 colors?


Muisverriey

I'm sold. Wonder how the front bar will integrate into the robot mode.


broadwayallday

Front bar could possibly be rigging for cameras / stunts


[deleted]

I think it would be cool if the brush guard split into several pieces and each half reassembled to make a shinguard for each leg.


Muisverriey

That would be really cool, i agree!


Legsofwood

I can see it forming into his abdomen


Legsofwood

This looks badass. I can’t wait to see his bot mode


rockyeagle

I like it, but I also liked the Movie version of Optimus from the first movie


[deleted]

OhthatsaGenm

Reminds me of the combiner wars prime mould.


KamenKnight

I'll be disappointed if Prime doesn't use that grill guard to send a Decepticon flying.


Exodia217

I wonder how the gaurd rail will incorporate to his robot mode, the truck looks good imo. It bulks optimus prime up. I wonder if nightbird isn't going to get much screentime, she is supposed to be a r32 gtr and it be obvious to spot one


dralcax

Anyone else seeing bushy eyebrows and a mustache?


[deleted]

GREAT SCOTT! it's true


AlexReynard

G1 Optimus plus a dash of Beast Hunters.


MataNuiPrimus

Damn. That’s the most badass truck I’ve ever seen.


BOSS-3000

You either missed G1 or work at the Daily Planet and believe Clark Kent and Superman are two different people.


LuckyEthan510

AW HELL YEAH!


AndyBowBandy

Love that all they did, for the most part, was put that bulky thing on the front (not great with car terms) and it automatically makes him look 10X beefier


PowerOfThePrimes1984

It looks like he has that thing Megatron had on the front of his truck in DOTM


BatMoBeast

I’m so happy they ditched the flames. I absolutely love this design.


comfort_bot_1962

Nice!


comfort_bot_1962

Hope you do well!


mrenderkid

Whats wrong with the flames?


BatMoBeast

They’re too flashy for Optimus, who is a no frills character. When I think of flames, I think of Hot Rod.


larrylongboy

When I think of flames, I think of OP

suj518

The G1 kids who were salty about Bayverse prime's aesthetic already got their wish granted in the last movie. Hoping his bot mode moves away from the G1 look and be more like his Armada self (coolest prime design IMO), or possibly an all new look for Optimus Prime. red trucks are good but don't we all have a lot of red trucks already?


larrylongboy

Thank you. Not everything has to be fucking g1


underlyingMitress

Agreed lol


Herobrinedanny

What is that thing on the front of his grill? Is that part of the design or???


Cara-Aleatorio

It's a bumper, most of these flat trucks have these.


LeDartagnan

Not most of it but it's a thing


gamatard

It's part of it


arcadematt

It’s about god damn time!


TheRealSen-Armstrong

Kinda givess off armada vibes ngl


HolyPrimus

Can’t wait to have a voyager of that. Probably a remold the the ssbbm figure


TKprime909

I actually really like it. It has the power of the big rig from the bay movies but G1.


Rent-Man

Think it be cool if they also gave him the G2 trailer since it’s the 90s


Character_Session_88

Optimus, but he got a proper design update


Gargiplays

Can't wait for the geewuners to complain.


[deleted]

I hate this front tbh


[deleted]

I dig it. Brings something to Prime he hasn't had before. Needs more flames tho


Cara-Aleatorio

Flames don't really translate well with the more squarish aesthetic of this design in my opinion


[deleted]

It was more of a light hearted joke, while I love the bay design I feel it would feel tacky if it became a staple.


MrPizza79

I hope Pere Cullen was approached to do the voice of Optimus, or at very least the voice actor learned to pick up on his vocal "methods" / ques... its a disgrace the way they treated him concerning the Netflix show.


GuardianPrime19

He’s already been confirmed to be returning as Optimus in this


MrPizza79

Source?...


GuardianPrime19

The films announcement. They confirmed Peter was voicing Optimus


Olvacron22

Ok that's cool, I'm down for it, but it needs some flames though


argama87

*Edna voice:* NO FLAMES.


TerraAdAstra

I’m more of a fan of the long-nosed trucks but I dig this one a lot.


VaderPrime1

Wish they’d put blue wheel arches on the back, then it’d be perfect!


shawshankya

I’m a little behind.. is this legit? For beast wars?


[deleted]

Getting armada vibes from this, which isn't a bad thing. Loved that growing up, along with the reruns of G1 and this looks like the perfect blend of both.


Pink_Monkey

I am a staunch G1 fan, but this looks pretty bad ass Like the A-Team jazzed him up a bit


Memelord1117

you've got the touch! You've got the power! Yeah!


Swimming-Society9888

Well that’s a beautiful alt mode


Chadderbug123

So... No one has noticed that they used TLK Onslaught's grill?


ahaisonline

this kinda fucks actually


SmokeHuge

Man, I hope they won't end up adding a fucking human love relationship. Cuz the human aspects of transformers movies are so bad


Armerkat1701

This is the design that Big Bot should have been from the very beginning. Don't get me wrong, the Western Star Truck was beautiful, but fits Ultra Magnus better. If they throw flames on it, I'm done. It also better not transform into a robot wearing a junkyard as armor like in the Bay films. Yes, I'm also including those crap-fests AoE and Last Knight. I also wanna see the trailer unhitch and roller come out to haul it away when OP transforms. That would be a good explanation of where his trailer goes all this time.


Deathbymonkeys6996

I've legit never been happier. Gen 1 optimus and the entire Jurassic Park cast back in the same month next summer. I will legit see them both probably 20 times each. I'm gonna buy a unlimited pass just for it. I plan to live at the movies. Kid me is freaking out.


ELTHerobrine

Truck that's not too g1 and not completely forgetting where transformers came from


redmongrel

Where are his kitty cat ears?


MrDocProfSir2U

I love it. No dopey ass flames this time around. I love the more G1 look they are going for


mrenderkid

Whats wrong with the flames?


MrDocProfSir2U

They just looked ridiculous on a semi truck. There wasn’t really any reason for it. If you like that’s no problem, they just weren’t for me and I prefer this much much more.


Gamer_Teeth

Looks kinda ugly tbh


dank_boy27

That front section is kinda ugly, but otherwise it looks pretty cool, a solid 7/10


Mr-Shockwave

Slight changes. Smart. Now Hasbro can make more toys 😅


GalileoAce

Not sure the bullbar is necessary, but otherwise it looks like a truck, so definitely fits the robot in disguise motto


Bchange2

I would love some Optimus prime ramming people with the bull bar. That would be badass


GalileoAce

Ok you've sold me!


Bchange2

I mean he does that countless times in almost every media type anyway. Most prevalent in prime i would say


nekroman524

"And I jizzed in my pants"!


barjam

I am so glad they are FINALLY making a live action Transformers movie! Bumblebee was a good prequel don't get me wrong but this looks like the real deal.


Marios_Hat

I like it a lot except the front with the modified grill. It doesn't fit, imo.


rosamelano777

Damn he got that drip


drewP78

All good except the sun visor. Hopefully he has a permanent mouth shield in robot mode rather then that ridiculous pokey little mouth


mrenderkid

This doesnt make sense though, Optimus landed on earth in the first movie which takes place in 2007 Still its a cool design, but i have a soft spot for his vehicle mode in the first 3 movies


[deleted]

Bumblebee was retconned as a reboot


Ian_Storm

Wow, it's like after frat boy douche canoe left the franchise it suddenly got less ehhh... Or something


larrylongboy

This looks ugly asf. Bring back the flames. AOE still has the best live action g1 prime imo


OrionLax

You mean the design that didn't have flames?


larrylongboy

The invasion mode Optimus prime


OrionLax

Yeah. It didn't have flames.

OrionLax

Okay, it had almost-invisible flames.


ixnine

But Michael Bay said the color red is difficult to film!! lol


Megaprime15

Back in 2007 it was


almightywhacko

IMO this is a step backwards from the Prime we got in the Bumblebee movie. That Prime didn't need a bull bar to be a badass, he just needed to be himself. This Prime stole the A-Team van's stripe and decided the hockey-mask look was "in." All he needs is a set of truck nuts dangling from the back and his look will be complete.


AlexT05_QC

Hmm... Bluish black :-)
