I just saw those photos on Instagram.
Looks solid for sure.
A little surprised, but glad it doesn’t involve any battle damage pieces/add-on’s.
Ready to preorder this!!

Well, I'm sold. Glad I have a $45 dollar amazon gift card ready for it.
Looks amazing.
Can't wait to stand him next to CC Ultra Magnus and Motormaster.
Guess, Earthrise is going ion storage, make room for the real Prime.
Loving the gun metal gun, and the blast effects for the drone.
In before they reissue him in toy colors with a blue roller.
How likely are Nemesis and SG out of this? Prior Commanders have not received repaints outside of Jetfire, so.....

Not bad. No shots from the back, to hide the backpack I guess. The truck mode looks too simple, like an enlarged core class figure.
I won't be getting this, to me it's not better than ER, and I already preordered the 3-pack with Jazz and Mainframe. That Prime looks way better. But I'm glad we have yet another option for Prime collectors.
Bring on Megatron.

Beautiful!!! A must have for me. The trailer looks VERY good with a lot of room for other vehicles. No battle Axe but that's my only gripe. Independent fingers, the feet and heel spurts look amazingly good. I truly hope this is released this year... and now I am ready to see what happens with Megatron.

Looks good but I've probably got better uses for $90 when I already have a decent Prime at $50. Maybe I'll regret not getting it later like I somewhat felt with Magnus but I'll cross the bridge when I comes to it. Magnus was probably the better fit for Commander anyway since he's bugger/bulkier than prime.

Owch, to me this would a pass at half the price 
plenty of primes out there to choose from though at this point. Think my MP Ghostbusters Optimus was cheaper than this thing.

I love the blast-off effects, but I think the gun blasts are pretty weak. I would much prefer something like those that came with Ultra Magnus or Siege Jetfire.
I'm conflicted on this since I *just* got ER Prime and really love him. This may be a tough sell.

I first thought it looked like core class as well because I was looking at the photos on my phone and the simple colour palette washed out the details.
But I think that's the point of this toy, it's meant to look like the animation model which was simple. And it's going to take extra complexity to achieve that like how MP 44 is way more complex than MP 10 to resemble more closely the simple cartoon model.

Yep, I'll get it. As the very final word on a modern CHUG G1 Optimus Prime.
The ER mold is good, but there are too many compromises on plastic color choices and a few lacking accessories. I knew it would be replaced immediately upon seeing it. It was too far away from perfect. But I think it's an excellent choice for those who want a Prime who doesn't rely on fake parts. Especially the Takara repaint.

Part of me was hoping it was another Siege retool just to see the world burn. But this, this is the Prime I think we've been waiting for. For me this confirms that Masterpiece is basically a dead line as Generations has stepped up and in this case, does the characters better. I hope that like MP 03 the arm of the repair bay can be used as a stand of sorts. This is as good as the figure from my preview months ago.

You've got a slightly sick sense of humor, Chuck.
And I dig it.
I've looked over these photos a lot... And sure, we haven't seen every angle. But when my one nit-pick is that I wish the antennae tapered more to points, that's a pretty good sign that we're looking at a really good figure.
Edit: I’m not calling it yet, but I could see this taking the Figure of the Year title away from Swoop…
This really does appear to be the definitive, mainline G1 Optimus figure.

Well, not an Optimus Prime collector by any means, but I do want this one a lot! Wow it looks like the quintessential Optimus Prime figure I've been wanting to get. I hope the SS86 Megatron that's rumored turns out true and looks just as good as this one.

Prime does look pretty good from the front, but I'm still concerned about the messy backpack. Also the trailer still doesn't stack up to the original. Why do they keep leaving out the Diaclone mini-figure seats? Sure they wouldn't be functional but they'd be more interesting than another big boring gray box. Paint the inside of that sucker, the original was so colorful!

The seats are there, just a bit shallow and left unpainted.

A small nitpick of mine it the cab front in alt mode looking too "choppy" due to parts forming or whatever, same thing that annoys me about Iron Hide mold around the door/windows. And I get it, but can't help feel it affects their aesthetics compare to the often streamline look of the G1 bots in alt mode. It's no doubt a tough balance to strike with increased articulation these days while also trying to maintain a smooth car look, but I often come away feeling that they just don't look as good in alt mode.
Another aspect about this version of Prime is that because I don't fiddle with them too much nor display them in alt mode I feel as if the trailer is a wasted part which is an unneeded expense. While it's much nicer than previous one and nice that it includes roller etc. it is an "extra" that is basically in storage. Same way Rodimus Prime's is, so I'd be interested in a potential release w/o trailer if that's doable.

Matrix Revealed!
Unfortunatelly its the same matrix from the previous figures. Earthrise Prime, Kingdom Rodimus, SS86 Magnus.... I was hoping for something a little larger.
3rd parties, get on it. We need an update kit with a larger Matrix. Make it light up while you're at it.
This also means, he can't actually hold it correctly by the handles. Not sure his big honking trigger finger is even going to fit in the space there.
