pal you can keep listing any toy you want. The moment you say "G1 Optimus" is the moment you exclude any other toy that doesn't look remotely like either of these three. And that means a lot of his generations toys.

According to writers Trent Troop and Greg Sepelak, Shattered Glass Optimus Prime sounds like Venger from Dungeons & Dragons.

(cos he's also voiced by Peter Cullen, you see.)

early reprints of the Marvel Transformers comics in Dutch renamed Optimus Prime to 'Jetfire' in a strange attempt to sell Jetfire as the 'true' Autobot leader.

They eventually apologized for the unnecessary confusion. (1985)

In "The Secret Of Omega Supreme", Omega displays uncharacteristic eloquence, due to writer David Wise being unaware of his speech pattern and scripting the episode with normal dialogue. Hence, the editors inserted Optimus' request for Omega to "talk like a normal Autobot". (1985)

My guy transformed one of my OG’s to look like Optimus prime. I’m not sure what he’s working on but I like it.

Simon Furman's original intent for IDW Optimus was that he did not carry the Matrix of Leadership, as Nova Prime was to have taken it to the Dead Universe and corrupted it.

But then Shane McCarthy included the Matrix in Prime's chest in All Hail Megatron. Oops. (2009)

Transmetal Megatron when Optimus Primal lightly taps him on the shoulder

Objection! The Maximal leader was clearly already named 'Optimus Primal' in the original bat/gator two-pack! He and Megatron being intended to be incarnations of the G1 Optimus and Megatron is...debatable, in my opinion.

red herrings sprinkled throughout the run of More Than Meets The Eye suggested that Tarn was actually Optimus' old friend Roller.

It was all misdirection in the end, with Roller being revealed to still be alive one page before Tarn's true identity was revealed. (2012-2016)

It's the bayverse prime influence. I really wish ROTB delivers and returns Optimus to his robo dad state. Gimme live action BALLIN PRIME.

There was an episode where Optimus Prime was BALLIN' FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

I used to assume this was because of Sentinel's color scheme from G1 comics design, and other comic designs.

Today, though, I'm inclined to think this was a coincidence. Bayformers was never faithful to designs that weren't Optimus or Bumblebee.

One thing old anime dubs have over modern ones, Optimus Prime himself did the Toonamj promos for them. Hearing Him hype up Dragon Ball and Naruto is awesome.
