It’s been a few years since Optimus got to be at the center of a Transformers film, and his last outing wasn’t exactly acclaimed. But if it’s anything like how he looked in the opening Cybertron scenes of Bumblebee, that bit should be satisfactory for fans as well.
Of course, the new video only shows Optimus Prime’s vehicle form, leaving his robot form for Transformers 7 still a mystery. Bumblebee received high praise for its loyalty to the older designs, and it’s great to see how Transformers: Rise of the Beasts keeps that trend going. The original Transformers toys, and by extension the versions in the cartoon, were iconic but straightforward – memorable designs, both in their robot and vehicle forms. The overly complicated and essentially unfaithful robot designs of Michael Bay’s live-action Transformers films were one of the most commonly cited criticisms against them, especially by longtime fans of the franchise. From the color scheme to the design of the cab itself, it’s a spot-on recreation of the original G1 cartoon version of Optimus Prime.

The video, posted initially to TikTok account arun09345 and shared to Twitter by YouTuber Cris Parker, shows the semi-truck being used for Optimus’ vehicle form driving down the street in New York City where the movie is filming.

In a new set video for Transformers 7, that new design is revealed in its full glory.

Unlike most of the Gobots in G2, he doesn't have a sparkly paint over the matte plastic. It’s also been revealed that the film will feature a new, G1-inspired design for Optimus, which has been celebrated by many longtime fans. A matte red sports car, Optimus Prime is no longer a brick red, he's now a brighter red, a vermilion colour. On the contrary, Paramount has revealed that Optimus Prime will be back in a leading role in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and that the film will explain how he became so invested in the human race. However, that doesn’t mean that the more established Cybertronians will be out of the picture.
Based on the late 1990s Beast Wars: Transformers cartoon, Transformers 7 will bring in some previously unseen classic characters in live-action films, including Optimus Primal and Rhinox.
