Surely there is no question as to G1 Prime's superiority. He is after all, a true hero. :)

That is how I shall cast my vote anyhow.

No Primal? Or RID Prime? I detest!

Have to pick 07 Prime because he's a bit more gunho, which is how I like my good guy leaders, and he doesnt say things like "booby" like G1 did :P

Original Prime all the way for me.

He held is own against Megatron, and would have won if not for some young punks meddling.

I got the movie today watched and enjoyed it, then flipped in the G1 movie.

Movie Prime is very lifelike, but G1 Prime has him beat!

Also using that stupid pose to keep promoting Movie Prime realy isn't helping! Hell all it makes me think of is him asking MeatWad "How's that Ol' Happy Time Harry making out?"

The question is "who is better"? Which is very general and because of that I'm on board with everyone else saying that G1 prime is "better" in general. But if the question was a bit more specific, like say, "who is a better bad ass?" Well, then I'd have to say Live Action Prime is a bigger bad ass. G1 Prime on a number of occasions would get his ass handed to him and then was bailed out by something. However, I don't ever remember G1 Prime taking off a Decepticon head with a shiv like he did on the highway in the movie....that was a "bad ass" kinda move.

Who's better? Really hard to make a decision, considering they are, more or less, the same entity, voiced by the same person.

But I can't fight it, G1. Can't argue with the classics, but I prefer Primal myself.

G1 Prime FTW. Mostly it's out of nostalgia for me, but also G1 Prime is (again) the embodiment of the REAL Transformers franchise. In terms of Autobots that is......

I agree here. I will always respect the hell out of G1 Prime, But movie Prime Owned the hell out of Bonecrusher. As far as looks go, G1 Prime is the mac from cybertron. :lol: Hell, I love em both.

Neither one could really handle a true showdown with ole Megs, though...at least live action Prime managed to uh, not die.

Oh, and...

movie Ironhide > G1 Ironhide
G1 Ratchet > movie Ratchet (in aesthetics, not badassery)
movie Bumblebee > G1 Bumblebee times 1000
G1 Jazz > movie Jazz

Very true. But o7 Prime chopped Bonecrusher's arm off and then stabbed him in the face...witch was followed by a ripping decapitation :lol: Thats a hard act to follow just in one scene...(Sorry I have watched the dvd twice today.)

We will always love G1 Prime. But I am a fan of 07 movie Prime. Now, If we could just get a better toy... :lol: (That reminds me, I picked up a TH-2 hybrid convoy from tf source today.)

Yeah, I can't truly side with either Prime. I love em both. The only Prime I don't like is the beast wars/machines prime. I am an old-schooler I guess.

G1 prime would have never let Bumblebee be dragged off by a bunch of Goverment covert ops. That is really the one point in the movie where I wished Bay had actually watched the first G1 season.

And well, in a one on one fight fought without cheating, Prime Always owned Megs, they made Movie Prime badass, but he should held better against old ugly.

So I choose G1 prime

Well I feel that i should be added to the boxy thing we have going on here.. sooner or later this box will become so small it will be just a letter in the middle..LOL..

I totally agree, the Movie owned some Decepti-chum ass!!! But here is the one thing I think is hard to answer this question, one is live action, and one is a cartoon, they are just on too many different levels...

But seriously, The Movie Optimus Prime was the shizznick!! I mean his Battle with Megatron was awesome, only problem is, Michael Bay's stupid, hide most of the action.. come on man!!! give us more CGI glory goodness!!! I want to see a Good CGI extened fight scene!!

g1 prime all the way.
i liked the live-movie but, in it prime didn't really live up to his predecessor(er spelling? idaknow)
in the battle between prime and megs in the '86 movie, prime clearly handed megatron his ass. the only reason he died, was because he was dealt a severely cheap shot while trying to protect hot rod.
in the live action movie, megatron seemed to have the upperhand. plus g1 prime never said "my bad" (worst slang phrase ever)
the winner g1 prime!
if you've watched transformers since the 80's than you should agree. but i guess to each thier own, i still loved the live movie.

But if the question was a bit more specific, like say, "who is a better bad ass?" Well, then I'd have to say Live Action Prime is a bigger bad ass. G1 Prime on a number of occasions would get his ass handed to him and then was bailed out by something. However, I don't ever remember G1 Prime taking off a Decepticon head with a shiv like he did on the highway in the movie....that was a "bad ass" kinda move.


I agree here. I will always respect the hell out of G1 Prime, But movie Prime Owned the hell out of Bonecrusher. As far as looks go, G1 Prime is the mac from cybertron. :lol: Hell, I love em both.


Yeah but G1 owen a whole bunch of con [6 if I'm right]and put the beat down on Megs in the 86 animated movie.


Very true. But o7 Prime chopped Bonecrusher's arm off and then stabbed him in the face...witch was followed by a ripping decapitation :lol: Thats a hard act to follow just in one scene...(Sorry I have watched the dvd twice today.)

We will always love G1 Prime. But I am a fan of 07 movie Prime. Now, If we could just get a better toy... :lol: (That reminds me, I picked up a TH-2 hybrid convoy from tf source today.)


I 2nd that motion.



Well I feel that i should be added to the boxy thing we have going on here.. sooner or later this box will become so small it will be just a letter in the middle..LOL..

I totally agree, the Movie owned some Decepti-chum ass!!! But here is the one thing I think is hard to answer this question, one is live action, and one is a cartoon, they are just on too many different levels...

But seriously, The Movie Optimus Prime was the shizznick!! I mean his Battle with Megatron was awesome, only problem is, Michael Bay's stupid, hide most of the action.. come on man!!! give us more CGI glory goodness!!! I want to see a Good CGI extened fight scene!!



Hhahaha :lol: hell yeah...TF2: Less humans, More robot killing action! 8)


With humans like Megan and Rachel why ask for less. 8)


Ok ok...TF2 needs a Megan Fox/Jessics Alba makeout scene :lol:


Dude I would goose my pants for a scene like that.I would sell my wife into slavery for that :P


Transformers is like the best guy movie of all time...hot chicks, Giant robot action and kickass fighting!! what more could one ask for..?? It's so good it sparked wife pimping..???

Is this really a fair question.

G1 Prime fought Megatron to the death AFTER owning like 10 cons!

After the Bonecrusher scene. Movie Prime got thrown around by Megatron like a little girl and started to cry for a little boy to save him while he lay on the ground whining...Biggest robot sissy ever!

come on folks...seriously.

He didn't as Sam to Save him, he asked Sam to throw the Allspark into his chest and KILL him so Megatron wouldn't get it.

He's not a sissy, he's a Prime. Willing to sacrifice himself for the good of all.

That said I have to vote neither. Both are the same character, Optimus Prime, the leader who inspires the troops and would throw himself in front of a cannon if it meant defeating the Decepticons and saving innocents.

G1 prime would have never let Bumblebee be dragged off by a bunch of Goverment covert ops. That is really the one point in the movie where I wished Bay had actually watched the first G1 season.


Even though is doing so he would risk Sector Seven capturing him and his soldiers allowing the Decepticons to get the Allspark? I think he made the right choice. Secure the Allspark first and the fight the Decepticons since the Autobots would have the advantage by having it.

Movie Movie Movie! Sorry guys. My vote is based on looks alone, because I feel the character is the same and completely true to the original.
