I understand your reasoning for having the ol’ g on the top, but I really think the RiD Op is the superior figure there.
I like Ginrai in his cartoon appearances, and I like PM Op in the G1 comics, but I actually think the figure is a little lacking. Its good, but could have been better. I would have put Laser Rod Optimus there before PM/Ginrai. Masterpiece Prime is also incredible, but has its flaws as well.
I’m also taking into consideration the technology at the time each was created, and a little bit of the popularity. G1 Prime came out in the ’70’s Diaclone line, Ginrai was ’80’s, and RiD was late late ’90’s.
Roughly from the bottom row starting at the left
1. Beast Wars Transmetal Optimus Primal
2. Beast Wars Optimus Minor
3. Beast Wars Season 1 Optimus Primal
4. Machine Wars Optimus Prime
5. Gobot Optimus Prime
6. Beast Wars Optimal Optimus (not really Transmetal 2, but sort of anyway)
7. G2 Hero Optimus Prime? (I don’t recall those missiles being there, but might have been in the comic)
8. G1 Optimus Prime
9. G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime (I’m a little iffy on that one, could be Armada Prime without the armor, and the colors don’t match Laser Rod, but this could by at the artists choice. Sword also helps to say its Laser Rod)
10. Armada Optimus Prime in armor (I call him fish-face)
11. Powermaster Optimus Prime / God Ginrai
12. Beast Wars 2-Pack Optimus Primal
13. Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime / Fire Convoy (best of the best)
14. Beast Machines Optimus Primal
I’m honestly disgusted that BM Optimus Primal is in this piece. Ugh.
How many series in there can you name? I can see atleast 3 from just Beast Wars.
Beast Wars, Beast Machines, G1, RID, Armada, and DWI comics at least. A bigger pic would be nice.
ur mom would be nice
The top 3 Optimus Prime toys:
1. G1 Optimus Prime
2. Powermaster Optimus Prime / Super God Ginrai
3. RiD Firetruck Optimus Prime

My respect, you have it.
I can definitely see your point when looked in that light.
