Third party company Dr. Wu have shared our first images of the color prototype of their DW-E04 Prime Commander (G1 Optimus Prime) via their Weibo account.
Dr Wu’s Extreme Warfare line brings us a very small scale, even smaller than regular Legends class modern figures that goes really well with Titan Class figures, or even with War For Cybertron base modes. Prime Commander stands only 6 cm tall in robot mode and it comes with his trailer and gun. While tiny, this figure still keeps a very G1 cartoon accurate design in both modes with a good range of poseability. The trailer can open and work as a repair bay like the original toy. Dr. Wu also revealed their upcoming limited variants: Sleep mode, Shattered Glass and Nemesis Prime redecos.

As mentioned by @SSninja in the Master thread;
Toyhax is offering decals for DW Prime Commander to make him more toy accurate (or the trailer more cartoon accurate):

Man you guys are seriously tempting me into getting this guy just to repurpose as G2 Prime.
"He's tiny, he's pissed, and he's taking names!"

Tnx I really appreciate it! Battle damaged OP has nice colors ( I also liked the sleep mode ver, photos from Zodiac196340 posted ), he has beautiful metallic blue eyes that's bought me and my primary idea was to serve me for some scenes from G1 toon cuz Dr Wu line it really has a purpose in it. I'm really enjoying this line more and more and I noticed that Dr Wu figures they are progressing about engineering, aesthetics.
Anyway about NA Grim, it was not my intention to announce or suggest Dr Wu Dinobots I just wanted to do a nice picture with my little OP
WST Junkie
Ooh, Dr. Wu Dinobots… That would be epic.

Looks good! I really like the color scheme on new battle-damaged Optimus.
Got excited for a second thinking this was an announcement for a Dr. Wu Grimlock.

Man I'd like to recreate this scene using the proper characters and that orange medical bed… A decent camera wouldn't hurt either lol.

Such Heroic Nonsense
Seeing this made me realise how odd it is that more 3P companies haven't made the orange medical bed for Prime, esp in MP scale.
Posing the TFTM characters around it would be a great little diorama to complete.
Well, I say "great" ….
WST Junkie
Yeah but my point was that Dr. Wu probably didn't want to use another kill shot on this version as the other Sleep Mode Prime already has a killshot on its chest. He probably didn't want to overuse/exhaust that design option.
And being that this figure is so tiny it wouldn't be very practical to add something like that to the side of his abdomen, although it would be a nice inclusion…
Q Prime
Oh no, that’s just a part of SG Prime’s deco. In TFTM, Optimus was shot in the side of his abdomen, leading to his death (this deco is visible on the ER dead Prime).
WST Junkie
Yeah, both the first grey "Dormancy" version and the purple version has the "kill shot" on the chest…

Q Prime
There was another one?!
WST Junkie
Perhaps Dr. Wu didn't want it to be too similar to the first version that had the kill shot on the chest…
WhiteMocha
I skipped the previous grey “sleep mode” deco for this little guy, but I think I’ll get this version. The battle damage (even if it’s missing the gut shot) sells the idea better.
The transparent Roller makes me laugh. I like the implication that as Optimus dies, Roller fades out of existence too, haha.
autobot prowl
That's exactly what I said.

Spark Fade DW-E04 got a genuine laugh out of me. It's as funny as it is horrible.
SSninja
I know those beds are coming with the Perceptor release, but it's such a tease seeing these Primes with them in the advertising shots! That orange bed will be awesome once it's available.
Q Prime
It’s strange to see them go as far as battle damaged dying/dead versions but not actually paint on the killing shot.
