Maybe it's the toned down helmet, with its smaller antenna, but something about this Prime reads more hard working everyman to me rather than inspiring war hero.
The Hot Rod style forearm exhaust are a different choice for Prime as well. But I guess Armada was still somewhat recent.
Paint has held up better than I would have guessed, Considering his entire torso, shoulder assembly, forearms, and lower legs are completely painted diecast metal. just a couple chips at the very edges of the corners.
Now my Optimus seems to have held together better than the horror stories I've seen and heard. The arms and legs on mine never popped off to my recollection.
