ah an age old battle of opinions, Who is the best Armored Version of Optimus Prime! My recent purchase of the Fan's project "Powered Commander" Armor for Classics Prime has gotten me back into all things Armored Prime! so it's been awhile since we played any of these games..or atleast I have..so, below will be a nice trip for those not aware of the many versions of Optimus Prime in Armor.. he has a long history of being Armored since the days of G-1, and one of my hopes and wishes is that Fan's Project or some other independent does an Apex Armor for the MP-1 (Masterpiece) Optimus Prime!


(this takes allot of time to put together.. sheesh.. I hope you guys like this poll)


So we all have a clear and concise choice, I have provided links to images of said armored Primes so you can click and choose for your self..

Well I guess that is it, I'm sure I'm forgetting some Optimus Armor and Trailer Combo somewhere.. like the Titanium.. but you've seen that before.. so tell me who your favorite is and Why.. I'd love to read it.. and I'd love to share my favorites too!!



Best Damn Custom Classics Style or Masterpiece Devastator I have ever seen!!

Powermaster with Apex armour. one of my favourite toys in my collection, he may be a brick but he's an awesome and fun brick.

I'll second that, though I'll add RiD Prime as a close second.

[GuyIncognito]

I have my own creation: Galaxy Force Wingblade OP: Galaxy Force Optimus Prime combined with the 2007 TRU-exclusive Movie Ultra Wingblade, and I think it's pretty sweet.

[Overcracker]

I'll second that too. Though I think R.I.D. Omega Prime is still the best there is at what he does above Power Master Prime.

not only is he very large, but he 's also quite poseable. If only the waist joint could support all that weight a little better.

Other than that, I Think Energon Prime/wing Saber is a cool combination.

[Counterpunch]

Other than that, I Think Energon Prime/wing Saber is a cool combination.

For all around excellence, I think you're very extremely correct on this subject.

Detailing, posability, features...this combo has it all without sacrificing anything.

[Cap'n_falcon222]

I really like the combined RiD Omega prime. That was awesome. If only there was an easier way to find a matrix blade...

Yup. very cool.

Powermaster with Apex armour. one of my favourite toys in my collection, he may be a brick but he's an awesome and fun brick.

I never had the Powermaster Prime with Apex Armor, though I loved the cartoon an comic art on that particular design..I am not fond of the figure.. no disrespect to those who do..if I go with Brick formers, I am gonna go with the Magna Armada Prime I own.. the legs may not bend, but they look like individual legs.. so that's the Brick former for me..but my ultimate Optimus Prime combiner figure is definitely RID Prime.. he's just too sweet.. however the Fan's Project Classics Armor is probably my 2nd choice.. with the Cybertron Prime as my 3rd..

RID is my first choice with the Classics Fan Choice coming in a very, very close 2ND, and only because I don't own him yet.. it's in the mail though..but Apex isn't in my top ten..(no offense to G-1 fans or Brickformer fans..)

I have my own creation: Galaxy Force Wingblade OP: Galaxy Force Optimus Prime combined with the 2007 TRU-exclusive Movie Ultra Wingblade, and I think it's pretty sweet.

put some pics up so I can add that to the list..that would be cool to see..

yeah i agree, however, i did find some cool images that had a sweet config for the RID Prime that works quite well, it's involved and stressful at times but once you get the hang of it, it is rock solid and so cool to display.. the ladder helps in the centering of the weight.. and you can plop this down pretty good without it falling over.
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l262/ ... me0011.jpg

a board member named Prime saber or Primesaber is responsible for this awesome config!!


I also agree the Energon Wing saber combo is sweet, and if not for the Voltron/Power rangers aspect of Prime I would have bought that fig..I may still.. a crown jewel of my collection is most definitely the Magna Prime exclusive set from armada..

I concur, only I prefer the RID version.. I never bought the Energon version, but from what i have seen in the gallery with the Wingsaber attached, it looks phenomenal!!

I really like the combined RiD Omega prime. That was awesome. If only there was an easier way to find a matrix blade...

I believe there are knock offs all over the web, but I am not sure which are best.. however I think a post requesting help with finding a matrix blade could help you, and me.. cause I'd love to get one, and cheaper then 70.00 USD..

The Classics Prime mold (any version) with the FP trailer armor (any version) utterly blows me away. Frickin' awesome.

dude I was almost there, but I don't own it yet, so for now.. RID is the one.. and because he breaks into two separate bots..with trailers..one a fire truck trailer, and the other a car carrier from ultra Magnus!!

but i am so with you on the FP trailer.. but I can't change my answer without owning that toy, which is in the mail to me.. so we'll see soon I hope.. you are making me want it more now!!

[Marcdachamp]

RiD, no question. He looks great in EVERY mode, he's very posable and he's fairly easy to transform into just about anything (Omega Prime's a bit tougher, but well worth the wait). Outside of Masterpiece, RiD is my favorite Prime.

[Mykltron]

RiD Prime.

[Blurrz]

Armada Prime with Jetfire pants and Overload backpack. I remember the first time seeing that on the cartoon.. it was awesome!

14. Transformers Energon (Unicron Trilogy) 2004 Energon Super Mode Optimus Prime/Grand Convoy
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... /77/1/152/
Note: there was a U.S. Rerlease and a Japanese Release and they do differ.. pictured here I believe is the Japanese release.

They were different.

But the one pictured is neither the Japanese nor the American Release. Its a mix of both

Having 2 fire trucks and 2 submarines.

The Left side fire Truck arm and submarine leg, are the American versions. Notice the lighter Blue for the submarine, and the slightly larger 1 for the firetruck.

While the right arm and leg are the Japanese figures.

Prime himself is the Japanese Convoy version. Notice the shiny Chrome bumper and grill, as opposed to the dull grayish silver that appears on the American version.

Finally, that picture is missing Prime's other 2 OP units. The White Helicopter, and the Yellow Drill digger.

ah yes.. I remember now.. well it may not be an accurate depiction of him in his powered up mode.. but it sure does emphasize his ability to recombine.. and diverse attachments..

I really dig Galaxy Force Prime. Those big friggin guns really takes the cake for me. Although his Alt modes are kinda meh.

[Firebird]

Two words... Omega Prime!!

That guy gets my vote, I love that combiner because of how good he looks.

Energon Prime + Wingsaber comes a very close second.
