The TFW2005 crew has just landed more shots of the Optimus Prime statue on display right now at San Diego Comic Con 2010! This version of Prime is from the upcoming Transformers Prime cartoon on The HUB. Could this be the finalized look, or perhaps styalized to further enhance its presence? Read on to see all the pics!

i like it but i bet it will look even better when we see it on the hub.

Eric Siebenaler mentioned something about there possibly being an Optimus toy during the Botcon panel (there were apparently also some rumblings about Bulkhead)…Hasbro's made great strides in the past decade in terms of resemblance to animation models, IMO, so that's probably why I tend to look that these designs as just another nut lining up to be cracked at the factory; I'm sure there'd be compromises, but I wouldn't expect anything much worse than what we've gotten in the past couple years.

utterly badass
i can't wait, this show is looking to kick some major ass

the alt modes look great in that picture above. Prime has a very copacabana look to him. He. Needs to mambo!.

I don't know about this. Will wait for better pics. I really wish they would stay away from the whole animated look. It was good while it lasted.

I was thinking that myself, Cliffjumper especially looks like a nightmare to try and engineer. Arcee doesn't appear to have any bike parts on her robot mode either, it looks like the wheels are in her heels but they look rather small if they are.
Honestly I believe Hasbro now when they say they aren't doing toys, even after the movie and animated some of these look ridiculously hard to do.

Batman probably spent loads of time at the gym before he started fighting bad guys
Murasame
The Truck mode is cool. But robot mode? I can't understand how that can be connected to WFC. In WFC he appears like a Warhammer 40K Marine and in TFP he looks like a Walt Disney spoof of himself…

Ok, why do all of the TFs in TFP that we've seen so far look ripped?
*notices the sudden stares from everyone else* What? The armor they have on looks like they'd rather spend time at the gym than fight bad guys.

I don't see how all the curved surfaces on these new designs are going to work on the toys… one mode or the other is really going to suffer.

If I'm not mistaken, it was said during the TF-Prime panel. Though I'm not sure specifically who said it. It was also stated that TFP is in the WFC continuity.
I get a RID Prime vibe from him too. It's probably the reason he's one of my favorite of the designs. I'm a big fan of RID, though I'm actually glad to see a Transformers TV show that doesn't have Prime transform into a firetruck (which hasn't happened since Energon).

feel the same way about this as I did animated:
EvaUnit-01
Is this just me or is anyone else getting a RID Prime vibe off this guy? Especially in the chest and thighs? It just reminds me of the shiny chrome alien detail on Prime's (stomach?).Personally I like everything except the arms, I don't know whats going on with the shoulders or the Megaman cannon arm look, the windows look good for being giant TV screens which would actually be kind of cool..I can't really say much until the statue is completed
Starwave
Must say I am dissapointed with how much Movie-like it is. I PRAY Megs will look like WFC, except he turns into a jet of course.
Godzilla Ranger
Who said this isn't in continuty with the Movies?

Just because Armada got it wrong doesn't mean they will. Armada got most things wrong.
Seen through the eyes of kids, alien robots should be all the more exciting. I'm sure there'll be adult characters as well.
Paxtin
Yeah, I was kind of hoping we'd get to see Bulky's new design, as well as Screamer. Eh well. All in do time.
I really like Megatron though.
Glad to hear about Welker mixing up the voice a bit. I'm eager to hear it.
Also glad to hear that they're actually doing the whole "robots in disguise" thing, in where they actually are trying to keep a low profile. That was one of the very few things that bugged me about TFA. They just kind of threw that concept to the wayside. "Yeah, they're robots in disguise…Kinda…Sorta…Whatever."
axiant
Wait What?!! Three human kids?!!! Why can't we have some interesting adult humans like they had in Animated for a change?
If there's anything I didn't like about Armada, it was the trio of annoying kids!!The comic's power trio, though, was just a little less annoying.
Sigh.
But I'm loving the cgi so far!!! Them shiiinnny bots!!
Fort Max
Ratchet is the best thing to come out of this year's SDCC.
Paxtin
So far, visually, I love it. Haters can eat slag, this is the show I wanted back after I saw the 2007 film. I can't wait.
I actually really like Cliff's redneck alt-mode with the horns on the hood. That's hilarious, but awesome.
I'm actually getting a Verity vibe off of Miko. but maybe that's just me.
