Everybody loves Optimus Prime (except Megatron of course, but he doesn't really like anyone), and of course, everyone's got their favourite version of Optimus.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess most of you probably like the G1 version, but I thought it might be interesting to see how many of you prefer another version.

I, for example, am kinda fond of the Unicron Trilogy version (specifically, his Cybertron version), because I really like how he can combine with other transformers, and I just generally like the look of him. I guess the Revenge of the Fallen Optimus can do this too, but I've never really liked the look of the Bayformers.

So, what's everyone else's favourite Optimus?

That's a good-looking question man. From a fiction point of view, it is definitely G1 for me, and of the 3 within that timeframe, I prefer the non-powermaster Prime by far. It got to the point where you didn't know what bits were Prime and what bits were Hi-Q by the end!

Toy wise, there are soo many to choose from and I would have to go for these as my top 3:

1) MP-01 - Huge and awesome, I still prefer this to MP-10
2) G2 Laser Optimus Prime, also repurposed for the awesome RID Scourge
3) RID Optimus Prime. This guy was great, and combined with Ultra Magnus as well.

That's my 2p's worth anyway.

I gotta say G1 because he set the scale for Optimus' later to come down the road.

But I love Shattered Glass Prime. He looks so cool and I wish I could have gotten the deluxe figure from Botcon so many years ago...

Actually, I might have to adjust my favourite. Cybertron Prime is great, but Jungle Planet Prime? OH EM GEE. I just got the Primal version of him in the mail (thanks, ridiculously affordable eBay seller!), and I think one word sums him up.

OPPOSABLE. THUMBS.

Nuff said.

I'm for the 'Classics' Prime. it is so what the G1 should have been, plus the hollow chest/back of the G1 style used to freak me out as a kid for some unknown reason.

(and I'll be so hated for saying this, but I keep mine with my 'G3 Trailer', Prime, without a trailer just doesn't look the complete bot that he could be)

How can you be hated for that? Most Prime purists bought the G3 trailer. I have it and it is beautiful, every classics Prime needs one

G1 Prime. He had a great appearance and look and he was a great role-model to some kids. I cried when he died in the movie.

Let's see

G1 Prime
Powermaster Prime
Laser Prime
MP Prime
Classics/Henkei Prime
Robot Master Prime

Don't have the new MP Prime so I can't rate it.

Forgot: I'm pretty fond of TFP Voyager Optimus Prime

Probably Armada Prime. Though, not unlike those who love G1, it's probably because he was the first Prime I saw. I look at it now and I see that the animation is indeed lazy, and there was lots of dialogue errors, but Prime was still awesome. The way he cared so much for Starscream/Mini-Cons, and even admitted to enjoying fighting Megatron made him awesome.

For toys: MP-01, Cybertron, Armada, and RID Optimus are all so much fun. Idk who I would choose out of those.
