Rest in Peace. The first of the best TF comic covers. This piece of art left everyone shook when it came out.

That's what happens when you stay alive!
Thanks, Hoist. Sorry I haven't been around as much. Lots going on atm. Thanks for the B-Day wishes, and I'm 50 can you believe it?
Now where's my walking stick? I have some dummies who need discipline.

Tubi is great for B-Movies and Non-Mainstream stuff! And those late midnight movie classics as well!

Optimus Prime looks like Optimus Prime. While a the toy does a good job in proportions, its just another OP toy. But good enough that if I didn't have a OP toy I might but this up in my top ten G1 picks. I'd like some more details. Maybe darker lines in the indents across his body? Or a darker paint job?
Soundwave's toy has apparently made some unhappy. Maybe because the picture of his toy mode, which was the first appearance of the toy I think, has him looking stretched? It does give him the appearance of a body builder who regularly skips leg day. But I've seen other pictures of the toy that do him more justice. I think his darker colours, compared to Optimus, makes him look better and he doesn't need much more in details. I really like where his chest plate/cassette player door ends up on his alternate mode!
Alternate mode for both toys look great IMO.

Ok, let's try and answer this question for real.
Owner of the message board where we met called himself Optimus Prime.
He then deleted the board because he didn't know how to change the colours. (Dummy) And all our fun posts were deleted.
He makes new board, we all come back. Not happy with him so he leaves to make another new board but Sunstreaker becomes the Administrator the second board.
He then begs us to come to his new board. (Scram, loser!)
The board Sunstreaker takes over is called Battlezone Civil War and no one, not even the new players, can RPG well enough to be Optimus Prime and the decent players don't want to be Optimus Prime anyhow.
Optimus Prime becomes a loser of sorts as we all make fun of the character/former member/former admin.
Some where, that Optimus Prime is known as a fake Optimus Prime, a clone in fact. (I think?)
In our Renegade RPGs we never used Optimus Prime as he was dead, Ravage18 killed him in the first Renegade/Destructicon thread. Not even sure if it was the G1 Optimus Prime or the Armada Optimus Prime.
For years we pretended their was a clone of Optimus Prime, a Decepticon agent, sent to do ummm, evil things to the Autobots?
In my fanfic, R.A.W., I had a robot inside of a robotic copy of Optimus Prime, control the body and act like Optimus Prime. And yes, it was to do evil things to the Autobots.
So, I dunno. Did we sort of create Nemesis Prime?

Buckshot found another container to open. Upon investigation, he discovered it's contents held a large Ion Displacer. A heavy machine gun commonly used as a turret base defence weapon. Happy with his find, he then decided to have some fun with Bomblast. "Hey, Bomblast! What if whatever was in the container you just opened got loose and is now sneaking about the ship?"
Latyrx7 expressed similar feelings about D-Fib with a nod. "Yeah, I think I might feel sorry for anyone who even puts a dent in the hull. The chime from Latyrx7 comlink sounded, Indelible delivered his message. +++ "To be honest, I wouldn't put it past anyone here taking off at any moment. But if he didn't and something happened to him, then all the more reason to get this ship ready for take off. Meet me and Roadtrain outisde, were going to do some savaging. And did you manage to learn anything about what happened on this planet?"
+++ "And did you manage to learn anything about what happened on this planet?" +++ In the cockpit, listening in on the conversation between Indelible and Latyrx7 on his comlink, Knockout waited to hear what Indelible would say. I swear to the All Spark, Indelible. You say just one word of what we learned I'll rearrange your fuel pump tubes to short circuit your entire systems! Knockout thought to himself.
As Hoist and D-Fib made their way out of the cargo hold, they walked past a assortment of items that had crashed about the area and now laid scattered about the floor. Many of the items were broken and smashed while others survived the thrashing the ship has taken. Strangely enough, the objects seemed be out of place, not something you'd find on your way to a security complex. Some items looked like one's personal items while one particular object appeared to be a modern art sculpture of some kind.

Hummer dualie version. Most definitely would work but keep in mind for G1. Hummer wasn't around. I say air craft carrier. I think the point is what else can Optimus Prime be, not what else he could of been in G1 or any other TF series where he's a truck.

I think the only vehicle type he can't be is a military one. Optimus is suppose to be a leader who exhibits a lot of kindness so transforming into a tank, a bomber, a jet fighter wouldn't suit his character IMO.
In terms of an plane, Optimus could become a massive jet similar to what Jetfire turns into. Big and powerful. He could resize to carry others since he did have a trailer that did that. Or he has armour that could carry one or two Autobots.
As for sea base vehicle, maybe a hovercraft. I don't see Prime being a speed boat or a war ship of any kind. A aircraft carrier is too big though it would allow him to carry other Autobots. The hovercraft could be a large one to suit his size, carry a few Autobots and Optimus isn't all that fast in vehicle mode and a hovercraft isn't that fast as a speed boat or a hydrofoil type ship.
As for land based vehicles, instead of a truck he could be a large Hummer. While still a truck, it's closer to a pickup truck but looks different then the semi-truck Optimus transforms into. Its size could contribute to Optimus' size in robot mode but he would be shorter than his G1 form I would think. Now if he was a Monster truck, then he could still be a large robot but I think the association Monster trucks have with crushing smaller vehicles isn't something you'd associate with Optimus Prime. And I tend to think of the Dinobots as the ones to using a Monster truck mode if they ever abandoned their Dinosaur modes.
EDIT: A aircraft carrier would be suitable for the Ark. Of course most Autobots are cars but if they weren't or had shuttles to get around, then a aircraft carrier would work. And the name fits!

Latyrx7 was impressed with D-Fib's spirit. She took no garbage it seemed and she was clearly intelligent. "We're what people called Renegades. We're a gang of ex-Autobots and Decepticons who have come together because we're sick and tired of listening to what our leaders tell us what we must do. Actually, Buckshot and myself got tired of our last boss and ditched him and everyone else here came along for the ride."
Buckshot raised a hand to interrupt. Yeah, we were all prisoners on the prison moon of Cybertron. Locked up and frozen in Highram. Ain't nobody escape from there. But something is going on that we're not so sure about. Optimus Prime himself told us so when we were freed. Said something about a force so strong that he needed our help. Then everything went full void, some robots got killed and we made it out."
Latyrx7 waved for Buckshot to shut up. "Yeah, not our fight. So anyways, your ship? It got a name? And since you can fix it well, your hired!" Latyrx7 then nudged Hoist. "And he can help you. You can fix things, right? You look like you can fix things. Ok that's settled. Hoist and D-Fib will fix the ship. Roadtrain, Indelible and myself will have a look outside and meet up with Air Fang. Hopefully, he's had a good look around the area and can tell us if we can find something we can use to fix the ship."
Up in the cockpit, Knockout felt he needed to reassure Indelible that they needed to do the right thing. The right thing meaning not telling the others about the aliens. "There's nothing we can do if anyone wants to leave the ship. The way I see it is since so many of these humans aren't around anymore, they won't run into then and tell them what happened. Fact is, we need materials to repair the ship. So let them go but we need to keep quiet about this invasion stuff. And sure, if you can grab a fleshling and study it, I don't care. Just make sure it's dead so it doesn't talk!"
The ship's internal com system came to life with Latyrx7's voice. "Indelible, any word from Air Fang?"
Knockout actually panicked and answered for Indelible. "No! I mean, why that's a negative. He hasn't reported back. I mean, maybe he's just taking in the sights? He simply must be the irresponsible type since he hasn't reported in. I doubt he would answer any messages from us anyhow."
"Knockout? I thought you would of been in medical? No matter, send Indelible down. He's going on a scouting mission for materials with Roadtrain and myself."
"I'll send him down right away, boss! Over and out! Remember, Indelible. Not a word about the invasion!" Knockout said with a finger waving in Indelible's face.
Back in the hanger, Buckshot figured he was stuck with the ship and on guard duty since Latyrx7 hadn't given him any orders. But what better way to make sure those left behind didn't try to take off leaving them behind? Buckshot began to have a look around in the other containers for what he could find, wondering if they contained more member's of D-Fib's crew. He opened one container and was pleasantly surprised. "Well what have we here? Hey L7, we got a case of energon magazines here! All types of ammo. This must have been for Highram's security."
