Arguably one of the best Optimus Prime molds that I have seen in a very long time is this Cybertronian Optimus Prime from the Transformers game War for Cybertron.
In vehicle mode Optimus Prime comes in a sleek & futuristic form. This mold is somewhat similar to a lot of concept car designs that you would see at an auto show.
Here's a close-up of Optimus.
Although this version of Optimus is only in deluxe class, the transformation process of this bot is rather complex I would say. There are many small steps that you would need to perform to get the transformation right. Unlike many of the other deluxe class toys, we probably would remember the transformation process for this Prime after numerous transformations. The design of the beam rifle is also quite cool. It is spring loaded, making the rifle turret flip out into a longer rifle for use in robot mode.
Given that this bot requires many complex steps for transformation, one difficult part is to transform it back into vehicle mode. It's a real pity that the toy makers didn't design this bot for the voyager line. I'm sure there would be much greater detail & articulation given to Optimus.
