Yes, still my favourite classics Prime. And the one I always use for any scene or scale. I have no use for a deluxe prime, and I have no use for a leader prime as well, not when we have the MP around.
Also, we did have a recent deluxe Optimus with the RID one (which of course was not CHUG design, I get that)
I love Classics Optimus Prime too. My pick for the best version in my collection is the Transformers Cloud release, though the one from the Evolution 2-pack (Age of Extinction) comes VERY close. If only that release had cartoon blue eyes instead of toy yellow. That said, even with the Cloud version, I have to give it the wind vane from the Evolution 2-pack version and the smoke stacks from the Classics/Henkei version to get the look I really want. (The gun and axe from Thrilling 30 Orion Pax round things out for accessories.) The Classics version of Prime seems to keep getting released even more than 10 years later, but no version is really "perfect" in my eyes. I kind of want Hasbro/Takara to take one more crack at it under my strict supervision so I can have just ONE definitive Classics mold Optimus Prime and sell off all the others finally, lol!
