Pretty much all the movie based figures I like are inaccurate. Movie designs tend to look really ugly and lumpy to me, with a bunch of busy details and frumpy proportions and just a general "design by committee" look.
With the Transformers movies I really liked how the earlier and simpler movie line made the designs more chunky and blocky. They felt more solid while still feeling traditional, like a nice hybrid of movie detail and classic looks. It think this Optimus is still a fine figure; the vehicle mode is great and was really impressive and holds up well, and while the robot mode has some kibble and limited articulation , he still looks cool to me.
