Can't wait until we get it in Titan class

Classics doesn't count? Too neo for you?
It's got a fairly heavy amount of stylisation and casts a very different silhouette to the original design; and in general carries itself with what feels like an edgier, angrier feel.
Not that that's a bad thing; quite the opposite - I love the Classics Voyager and will sing its praises to the ends of the Earth! I just find it funny that the original design is represented in every size class other than the one a lot of people would agree is the size class that's 'right' for Optimus

What about combiner wars?
A bit too beefy and bulky to really feel like a representation of the G1 design to me. Just my opinion tho

Isn't the T30 Legends an IDW design? (Still, your point stands

)
Very true - though since that design is based on and has very few differences to the original (the only real difference noticeable on the toy would be the shoulder pads), I still count it. Maybe I'm just weird

So then the combiner wars one should count even more than the legends one as it doesn't deviate from the original design it just has sightly different proportions.
Plus, G1 Prime already has some bulk to him. Maybe not to the extent of CW Prime, but you get my point.
Wish I had a CW Prime now that Forged To Fight made me appreciate him more.
