Design:

I honestly love the designs of the bayverse because they don't feel toyish. What I mean by toyish I just mean that he doesn't look plastic which seems to be a problem in the rise of the beast trailer though it could be that the trailer isn't fully rendered correctly or its unfinished. Optimus looks like a complete badass in all of his Bayverse designs. Optimus goes for a more triangular shape motiff instead of the usual cube and boxy shapes of G1. "Knight" Optimus simplifies the look of optimus but still keeps things the same in some places like having when it comes to the shaping of both knight optimus models. His 2 in movie designs have a good balance of blue and red because of his grey parts and same with his knight designs.

Personality

Bayverse is way more aggressive compared to other interpretations of the character. He shows little to no mercy against the deceptions instead of seeking a more peaceful resolution. Though he might be more aggressive and savage he's still the autobot leader who fights for the freedom of all sentient beings, though of course what they decide to do with that freedom is their choice.

Skill

Not much to talk about here, compared to most other primes bayverse is experienced in both ranged and close combat. A lot of cybertronians show more acrobatic skill in the bayverse while in other forms of media the fights are more grounded with the seekers being the only ones to really get off the ground. Gonna have to mention that the Decepticons in the bayverse are way more straight forward with their attacks and intentions, they show very little signs of wanting to retreat. A lot of people make the argument that prime is a light hearted giant and should be in every situation but if G1 prime went against decepticons who are well coordinated, experienced in close and far range and probably won't retreat in a few seconds he probably wouldn't survive.

My opinion on the bumblebee and the rise of the beasts design

The designs are alright. Rise of the beasts has the bayverse vibe going on with his proportions and the bumblebee movie design is just a very realistic g1 but besides that I don't got much to comment on.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Armada

Generation 1 (Cartoon/American Continuity)

Dead Unicorn Trilogy Optimus (Dreamwave Comic)

Cyberverse Optimus

Ginari Not Optimus, Fr tho he's actually just a mech suit for most of the show. Might as well call it Transformers Gundam or something.

Animated Prime

Eva-01 Optimus

The goat, the legend, TF Prime Optimus.

Yeah I got bored so instead of working on projects I decided to write this because my opinion is very IMPORTANT.
