That being said, I think I prefer the First Edition version due to the fact that I hate transluscent plastic and the weapons for Powerizer Prime look WAY too gimmicky.
Not even close.
The backpack is completely different, as is the chest, arms and feet. The backpack is a glaring error.

Does the First Addition have the same issue? I remember a Picture Blurrz did, and it looked so much smaller than that.
I Want a first addition prime. Please. Someone cut me a deal on him, bulkhead, BB, and Cliffjumer. Possibly Arcee. Oh gawd, what are they gonna do to her!?

No. The First Edition Optimus does have a backpack, but the panels are smaller, fold in closer and have the smokestacks at the appropriate orientation.

They are. And yes, good job Hasbro. (With all the sarcasm intended.)

The back kibble sucks, the FE version doesn't have it to that extent. I've managed to position mine to hide it a bit. It's hardly the end of the world
The robot chest windows are also the alt mode windows, which is cool. Otherwise it's got the same articulation as fe prime but with added ball joint neck here
The gun is pretty crap in my opinion, just because you can't lock it open and in its normal state it's kinda a big block. But that's a gimmick the kids will love and I've heard it ties into the season 2 arc.
Overall I love mine. I'm just gutted I was too late to nab megatron too. But got one on order for Tuesday anyway
I'm glad you enjoy it, but the mods they made...ruined it for me. First Edition is Prime's saving grace.
I wish Hasbro would tell us what's going on with this toyline and the others. Delays, possible cancellations and now subpar re-imaginings of superior molds that almost no one has been able to get. WTH?
