Optimus Prime - Voiced by Peter Cullen
Although heavily redesigned like the other characters in the film, some classic design elements remain in his robot mode, including a predominantly red torso, primarily blue legs, the presence of windows in his chest, air filters on his shoulders, and a head design influenced by the original, featuring the iconic faceplate and antennae.
An internet leaked unfinished television advertisement shows that the faceplate retracts to expose a mouth when Prime speaks. Also, in the skit from the MTV Movie Awards, he is shown with a mouth. His arsenal includes an arm cannon and a sword.
