ahhh sorry i like the idea but not how it turned out..
he looks way too blocky that he has an appearance of being short or stubby. and they changed his head so he looks more G1 and less menacing. I can't tell if it's good or bad. I liked his old scarier face design for the game =\
but if you look at prime from behind he looks great

Have to agree. New design is blocky. Looks junky from a design perspective. Redesign would have been fine, but this one shouldn't have made it off the design board.

1st there is War Within, then War for Cybertron,then now Fall of Cybertron, so what is next Rise of Cybertron??

i think the shoulders need to be "bulkier" as well. Larger maybe?
Like the concept art there
as it looks now, Prime looks kinda pear/triangular shaped. Makes his upper body look kinda weak with those tiny drooped down lookin arms
he doesnt look so bad from the back but…yeah. Fix it High Moon! xD

Yet bulkier?! They ARE already pretty bulky compared to his last incarnation. But his chest could be a bit less bulkier. Looks like when fat people hold their breath in a way that should make them look slim. And the broad metal part between his windows sucks too. And his antennae should be a bit taller and pointier. His vehicle mode then again is nothing compared to his old mode, definitely a throwback. But the toy might look better than the video game incarnation as they won't get it 100% right, like the last WFC Prime was not 100% exactly like in the video game.
Lo Streat
i think the arms should be bulkier..his arms seem kinda shrimpy compared to the rest of his body

Exactly..also I think they might have tinkered a bit too much here, the WFC design was great (loved the old head). Ah well, it is still early.

I'm sure it'll look better when finalized, but I think they took the bulk too far. He's a bit too "Dreamwave Marshmallow-Bot" for me so far. I thought the design from the first design was already pretty beefy, but I understand the desire to change it up.

It is pre-alpha.

No it's because it's alpha footage.
Batman
The alt mode is awesome, but that robot mode is, well, pretty awful.
grunge
a fist with wheels. thats what the guy said. awesome.
lets just hope the game is free movement action adventure, and not being guided along while you point and shoot. i want to transform at will any time i please.
cant wait for the FoC toys ….

Optimus Prime's head mold sure look like Big Convoy's head mold.

You're right. The image isn't complete.
