I popped together some quick digis of the legs sections in all blue.

whoa you can edit pics well. luv your sig.
but i think the red needs to fade into the blue. which is wahat flames are for. if its red cap and a smokestack just makes the rest of the paintjob blue then it looks weird.

I would think Bay probably got the idea from Rodimus Prime.

How? Rodimus was maroon and yellow, Optimus is red and blue. The blue flame design does keep Optimus' original colors......and it's not like the only vehicle ever to exhibit a flame design was Rodimus Prime....Bay could have seen a real truck with that kind of paint and thought it looked cool. Or maybe it was just an attempt to make movie Prime look different from G1 Prime.

Acutally according to the HD-DVD docs, red is notoriously difficult to animate realisticly in CGI, but Hasbro wouldn't let Bay make Prime all blue, so the flame design was created as a negotiation between the two parties.

What's the big deal anyways, none of our G1 red characters got to be red. Starscream, Ratchet, and Ironhide all lost their red designs, as well as Jazz. Hell none of the decepticons besides Starscream are even discernable form their earlier counterparts. Not to mention voice acting changed a lot too. Jazz used to be a redneck, now he's a gangsta? Okay. Ironhide also used to be southern, but now he's Australian.

Prime and Bumblebee stand as the only 2 characters who are directly related to their predecessors in almost every way.
