Optimus Prime has his Generation 1 alt mode of a COE (Cab-Over-Engine) semi truck. The paint is primarily red with a silver stripe running along the waistline. The rear end is done in blue. There is a ton of detail to this mode. For instance, all 6 wheels are spring loaded for "suspension". The lugs on the rims are done in fine detail. You can make out the windshield wipers, the clearance lights on the roof, the louvered grille and the exposed fuel tanks.
There are some minor niggles concerning this mode. The most noteable is the sides, where you can see the shoulder kibble clearly exposed. Granted, there is no other way to hide this kibble. However, it still throws off the profile. Also, the red is almost more like a burnt orange.
For some reason, they used a dark blue composite for the headlights. This darkens them out quite a bit. Could be a good or bad thing. Oh yes, and the shaved exhaust stacks still exist.
