Which one do you display with your clasics collection? I am currently using cybertronian prime. He looks good next to the awesome cybertronian megs. I realy like universe prime, but I think he is a bit small to display with the rest of my collection.
Which is your fav optimus? What are your thoughts on cybertronian prime?

My favorite is still the Classics Voyager Prime. Then would be ROTF leader Prime.

Cybertronian OP is a cool toy but somewhat over complicate. He then does not shine in my collection due to the lack of support from other WFC toys. So I've turned him to the dark side and then he found his spot again.

Alternity Convoy...By a long shot overall.

Though I like Galaxy Force Prime a lot as well.

Well, I mean, how do you not say Masterpiece?

If you discount him, I HAVE to go with RiD Prime. Easy to transform between his three modes, great posability, combines with RiD Ultra Magnus... RiD reinvigorated my interest in the Transformers after Beast Machines killed it, and this Prime was a very, very large part of that.

No, no, no. Of course not. But just because I don't have it..... :-(

I really like the Universe 2-pack Prime, and it doesn't hurt that he can hold the matrix (the one that came in RtS).

Are you talking about G1 style or not?

I'd have to say either THS-02 or RotF voyager.

I'll go against the grain and say Cybertron Optimus Prime for the fun factor (I have GC-01 Galaxy Convoy myself), with Energon Optimus Prime as runners-up. I can't comment on Classics/Henkei Voyager or Masterpiece, since I have neither. :sad:

Henkei is by far my definitive Prime, with the FansProjects Trailer to boot. Next up is MP-04 Prime w/Trailer then Cybertronian Prime.

For classics? Why anything else? Voyager Prime!

For me it's the G1 Prime and MP1. Those 2 are my favorite Prime. G1 as being the nostalgia figure and MP1 as the best representation of Prime. I doubt MP10 will top that should I decide to purchase one.

Other than the Beast Machines part (I was already out of interest for Beast Wars) this could've come from my brain.

for me it's master piece Optimus Prime.

The new Masterpriece Prime looks to be the best one yet. I may be done with Optimus figures after buying him.

Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:43 am

In this order:
Henkei Voyager Prime
RID Prime
United G2 Prime
G2 Laser Prime
ROTF Buster Prime

It's hard for me to choose, because none of my favorite Optimus' are perfect. WFC OP has my favorite design, but is too small, and the kibble on the back is a bit of a disappointment.

ROTF LC Optimus is near perfect, but the swords annoy me whenever I pose him in a non-combat pose.

MP-1L? Awesome in most aspects, but the head sculpt looks warped.

If I had to choose, it'd have to be WFC OP. Size and kibble notwithstanding, I love his Cybertronian alt and bot mode, and he's not too difficult to transform.

First of all, Masterpiece Optimus is NOT a toy. So I personally don't count him.,

But even if I did, he would be a tie with RotF Leader Optimus, closely followed by GC-01 Galaxy Convoy. Though I actually prefer to display him in truck mode.

Really? I play with mine.

I also play with my Masterpiece Optimus :grin:

MP Prime isn't great for a Classics display because he's a little...okay, A LOT...bigger than Prime ever really was. Except maybe in some of the comics where they fully interpreted his Powermaster super mode. I don't have Voyager or Henkei Prime, but they are probably the better ones. I do like RiD Prime, but the yellow/orange on the chest and the red and silver makes me think of him looking more like Blaster.

Masterpiece prime looks to be the superior prime. I was talking about the five to six inchers though. Sorry I should have specified.
I was only wondering because it shocked me to find that there was no truely classic prime to display with my generations,universe and classics figures that is to scale. Universe prime would be great were he not so small. I wish they would reissue him about a falf inch bigger in all dimensions. Then we would have a superior "classic" prime to display with our classics line.
It looks so silly. I have my universe prime in front of all my other autobots and he looks so tiny. When red alert looks to be much larger than prime we have problems. LOL.
Still I love the universe prime. Im going to look up theese others you guys are talking about but for the most part, particularly with optimus, I am only interested in the classic look.
