Nose? What nose? None of the autobots have a nose! Take their helmets off they all look like Lord Voldemort! What are you going on about?

Replace "nose" with " little stub between the eyes".

Well, I took that into account, compared face between BH Prime, FE Prime and Smokescreen and the only one w/ a stub between the eyes that could possibly end up on BH Prime is SMOKESCREEN......OMG..........then again, I may be reading too far into it.

The lack of a closed faceplate doesn't help any.

Not quite. Wheeljack also has a stub similarly to Smokescreen.



In fact, his is blockier than Smokescreen's, which is closer to BH Prime.

Crap, I've given you ideas.

Ok, 3 things that point to Smokescreen being BH Optimus Prime

1. Damn near identical faces

2. Stub between the eyes. Optimus didn't have one.

3. This is going by the toys. Smokescreen's vehicle mode with quill armor has 4 spikes total in front, 2 on each side of the grill. BH Prime's vehicle mode has 4 spikes total in front, 2 on each side of the grill.

Ok, point. However, Wheeljack's "nose" angles up to his eyebrows forming an inverted trapezoid, wheres the "noses" of Smokescreen and BH Prime are square in shape.

Except for these:

The nose stub is a block on BH Optimus while Smokescreen's is flat square.
Smokescreen has a goatee while BH Optimus lacks one.
BH Optimus' mouth is closer to his stub than Smokescreen.

2. Stub between the eyes. Optimus didn't have one.

As I alluded to previously, Wheeljack has a stub between the eyes. It doesn't mean all three of them are related. BH Optimus, Smokescreen, and Wheeljack have different stubs; blocky, flat, and inverted trapezoid respectively.

3. This is going by the toys. Smokescreen's vehicle mode with quill armor has 4 spikes total in front, 2 on each side of the grill. BH Prime's vehicle mode has 4 spikes total in front, 2 on each side of the grill.

But toys don't always = show.

I don't see it.

Well, at this point EVERYTHING here is speculation, BUT when you REALLY look at the pics I see it...

() The shape and angle of the eyes
() Center crest's shape and size
() The red pieces on going down the center of Smokescreen's head...turn them blue.
() The shape and angle of the chin and their adjacent "cheek" pieces

I dont have Photo shop, but I know someone out there does...Just take Smokescreen's pic and change the colors to Prime's... It's actually kinda cool.

Still ALL speculation, but I DO see the definite similarities... The reason the toy would be "Optimus Prime" would be for 1) Secretiveness on Hasbor's part, but 2) Smokescreen idolizes Prime and will present himself as such (assuming our observations have merit) because if THE OPTIMUS PRIME shows up to fight, the Cons would loose their Cybertronian Bowels... Especially Megatron...assuming Predaking doesn't eat him lol.

Random thought...Maybe the Dinobots can come back the same way the Preds are being resurrected. There aren't many viable Autobots out there, so why not "make" some more? lol

not sure how this relates but the new magnus toy has the same wings as bh op. do they both have them or does one get them from the other?

somone said earlier that magnus creates a new body for op with the forge. i would agree and that means he is a prime and the toy comes with the forge so hasbro has already hinted at this.

magnus and op have roughly similar stats so he could be considered at the physical and mental level of a prime.

thus magnus becomes the next prime then uses the forge to recreate op.

not sure how smokescreen fits in but op doesnt look like him smokescreen's face is too thin and the center crest thing looks like ops more so than smokescreen's. besides why would smokescreen be called optimus prime and take on his physical appearence? he would more likely be called his own unique title and keep his color scheme just like orion pax did.

What's so definitive about them?

Optimus' crest is longer.

...

Turn them blue...then remove them. BH Optimus doesn't have those pieces on his face.

Ok, I'm not getting into this Prime/Smokescreen thing. It's crazy. So it's probably true, but that not the point.
Looks great, Predaking actually IS combiner-size, which makes me happy, and a human city (Jasper?) is destroyed, so it is a 'Con invasion, and the humans arn't just going to ignore the giant base. Overall, as long as Prime's ressurection isn't too cheesy if it happens, I think Prime's surpassing BW for my top spot.
