>>6351421I always thought of it as something like a Samurai's facemask. Primal with lips is alright, but I HAAAATE Optimus Prime with a mouth. The exception being Animated Optimus. But in Prime and especially the movies, it looks awful, with his lowset mouth that's right on his chin.
>>6351420I like how Optimal Optimus feels like a distinct entity from Prime, but at the same time the tank mode feels like a natural fit from prior Autobot leaders. Optimus, Rodimus, Ginrai, then Star Saber and Dai Atlas. the vehicles get progressively more sci-fi, with Optimal sort of encompassing a bunch of past elements.
