The Best Recent Optimus Prime

[Wolvenom2099]

There have been many versions of optimus prime through the years. In the past 10 years or so hasbro and takara have stepped up their efforts in producing great transformers. Optimus always has to be on of the best made and for good reason, he's the most popular. Out of the list above, which optimus prime action figure do you think is the best?

[Danger Mouse]

classics, masterpiece and revoltech all look good

my favourite is revoltech based on the picture

[Creature SH]

Is this even a contest ? Masterpiece all the way.

Then, there's a loooooong space followed by Classics.

[November Rain]

the 90s series had more bad episodes than good ones

[Darkest Knight]

Isn't the 2007 Movie Voyager the exact same as the Target Exclusive "Robo-vision"? If so, I think they only have minor variations. But that one is definetely my favorite. I got my first set of Transformer toys today. Robo-vision OP and Leader Megatron. Megatron is easily one of the coolest toys I have ever got. He is so intimidating.

[VaderRISE]

1. Masterpiece
2. Movie '07 Prime (Leader)
3. RID
4. Classics
5. Revoltech

In that order.

[tzarinna]

classics, masterpiece, warwithin and revoltech are the ones I like the most.

[Creature SH]

One should point out for those who don't know - The Revoltech one doesn't transform.

[nosebleed.]

Same here. I've got 4 versions. 2 Takara (one MIB and one open) and 2 Hasbro (same).

[cryptic name]

Masterpiece /20th Anniversary by far

[The Riddler]

i'd pick revoltech but it can't transform.

masterpiece, then by default.

[Timstuff]

LOL, Energon Optimus is a fatty. :D

Anyway, Masterpiece is definitely the Cadillac of Optimus Prime figures. Too bad that at $80-100 he's beyond what I can justify spending on a toy. It'd be sweet to have him and Masterpiece Megatron sitting on my bookshelf, but if I did that I think I'd be graduating a bit later (college doesn't pay for itself). :(

[The Riddler]

i'm gonna get the 20th anniversary prime at amazon for $65 with free shipping.

that's actually a really nice deal.

[Timstuff]

$65 is reasonable. However, I know that Masterpiece Megatron could not be that cheap since he never even got an official US release, and never will, so long as that stupid toy gun law exists. And 20th Anniversary / Masterpiece OP would get lonely without his arch nemesis. :(

i agree.

but i'd rather have prime without megs than neither! :ninja:

[ScarletVenom25]

I've got R.I.D., I just cant find all those extra pieces that make him look better. I'm gonna have to go with Masterpiece.

[skorponok]

I'm gonna go against the grain and say the $9.99 ARMADA Prime...codenamed BENDY PRIME!!

[skorponok]

This is the one I'm referring to...:woot:

[The Riddler]

that looks gross.

masterpiece prime is the s***.

[Timstuff]

i agree.

but i'd rather have prime without megs than neither! :ninja:

True, but for about $80 I can get movie leader Optimus Prime and Megatron (who can be repainted). Certainly not as glorious a prize as the Masterpiece versions by any means, but for me, it's a lot easier a pill to swallow than spending up to $240 (or more w/ shipping) on two action figures, no matter how awesome they are.

[AmaznSpider-Fan]

I just got my Masterpiece Prime today and I love it!!

[Timstuff]

Stop posting pictures of Masterpiece figures! They make me cry! :(

[SpideyZERO]

It's hard to pick the best. I like all of them. Each has their pros and cons

I guess I will go with the Movie Optimus Prime since...well, he's new

[da3dl3us]

I just got the 20th Anniversary DVD Prime today. I LOVE IT! If you're an amazon prime member, you can get it for 50 bucks on amazon with free 2 day shipping.

If I had the means, I would have gone for the MP-01 Masterpiece Convoy (the Japanese Version). It's got a chrome grill and exhausts, but oh well.

[1987olds442]

Masterpiece without question...

[Danger Mouse]

Just bought this yesterday. Freakin' awesome!

I voted for Armada.

tell me more about this to gun law. ive never heard anything about it

[spidergrant]

you forgot the 3 beast wars optimus primes i voted for rid cause he had parts that looked cool. but i really liked the third third beast wars optimus or it might have been the second. whichever it was it was cool

[da3dl3us]

tell me more about this to gun law. ive never heard anything about it

Megatron transforms into a gun that looks pretty flippin real. Not gonna happen here in the US.

[spidergrant]

oh i thought you were talking about the movie one. i just cant see the g1 looking like a very realistic gun

[FatA$$]

i just got the 20th anniversary yesterday and it kicks major A$$

[spidergrant]

we need some of the old primes up there so we can see them

[Green Scar]

Well...I traded my brother my Leader Class Prime for his Robo Vision Prime...i really liked the Leader class, but he's the only movie Autobot i had and i don't really have the room for him. I really like the robovision prime a lot. Now my brother's autobots are all pretty much in scale with each other too...so it works out well for both of us.
