Back when Fun Pub gave all of the GoBots their own Transformer bodies in artwork posted on the Facebook fiction blogs, Cop-Tur was drawn with the body of Energon Bulkhead with a new head based on that of Armada Jolt.
Did anyone here actually read the article? If not, then y'all are seriously overlooking the enormous elephant in the room over why, exactly, Caple is no longer attached to the project.
Welp, Caple's out and no longer involved with the ROTB sequel that is to be the TF/G.I. Joe crossover movie:

Judging from the artwork used in the poll, it might have instead been a Megatron that evolved into Super Megatron instead of Galvatron. Years later, Takara would give us their own take on Super Megatron that not only doubled as Ultra Megatron, but also tripled as the newly created Megatron...
It's not that people didn't want it to be Optimal Optimus, It's that people wanted it to be able to do all the things that the original could do, to be an update that was as good (if not better than) the original toy, even if that meant it being a little smaller to fit in the Leader Class price...
Being able to turn into all four of Optimal Optimus's original modes would have been nice, since being a quad-changer was Optimal Optimus's whole thing.
Oh, and having a torso stable enough to not come apart at the slightest action while actually playing with the toy would have also been nice...
I recall a lot of people who voted for Optimus Primal saying, in hindsight, that they wouldn't have voted for him had they known about the Evolution gimmick beforehand, after seeing the less than stellar Optimal Optimus toy that resulted from his winning the fan vote.
Somewhere someone mentioned that a possible Prime name that Hasbro was considering for Arcee had she won the fan vote was "Arcana Magnus", which sounds more like an alternate name for Brainstorm's Nebulan Headmaster partner than a Matrix-evolved Arcee.
