Keep in mind we don't even know if that's properly transformed or is missing pieces besides the head.

I’ve long head cannoned Nova Prime into “Grand Universe Finale” Battle Corps Optimus Prime. The Combiner Wars Battle Core Optimus Prime really spoke to me, for some reason. Especially as a white-but-not-Ultra Magnus alternate color set for Optimus. The white with grey and gold just clicked for me.
My head cannon for this iteration of Optimus is that this is his “last stand” form. When Cybertron’s danger is most dire, he fashioned himself this form in these colors for the sake of “abandoning” any partisan nature. He’s not leading the last charge as an Autobot, or Maximal, or Predacon, or Decepticon. He fights for ALL Cybertron.
By Prima being in similar colors kind of helps bring that idea back around to evoking the first great leader of all Cybertron.
I can see the “early version” angle, and it vibes as a generic G1 Cybertronian vehicle (I’m seeing some Kup influences in the vehicle mode). But I also agree with unluckiness that it doesn’t feel like a complete “thing”. Largely in the fact the geebled legs contrast against the very smooth line cabin area.
But we also have to keep in mind that this is a cobbled together sample missing large swaths of the final figure, especially accessories. I kind of wonder if the final figure with have some sort of shield/bed cover like Bulkhead ended up getting.
A notable thing to me is that the figure’s hands ALSO feature a hinge. I saw that on Fallen, but it’s a bit surprising at the Voyager price point as well. Will the deluxe class Primes get hinged hands as well?
Taking a closer look at the vehicle mode, it looks like someone forgot to fold up the front bumper. You can see it on the underside of the vehicle mode.
It's instead folded out and connected to the windshield in this robot mode pic, when it was folded away on the yellow test shot:

Lol no. Even if that was in mind when designing this, it'd be dumb. Primus isn't a scientist or engineer, he's a creator god.
"This house that hasn't even had the plumbing and AC installed sucks!"
I agree with @Undead Scottsman. Let's wait until we see a completed version of the toy not shown off on someone's bedsheets before making any judgements.

This alt mode reminds me of Bumblebee Soundwave.
The chest on Prima reminds me of Thunderwing's.
When properly transformed, it might look like some kind of futuristic NASA rover.
at this point i kind of hope the final toy doesn't have a head just because that would be funny
"Each sold separately. Some assembly required."
"Batteries not included."
Then we spend years trying to figure where to put the batteries.

PVP, if you're listening, I am begging you to remove the head before you do your review, just to keep this going. Let the head remain a total mystery until Hasbro reveals it.

I like how there's detail on the back end of Prima's alt mode that mimics the design on Optimus' trailer.
All the more reason to think of Prima as Optimus's ancestor rather than his brother.
Indeed!
Prima's looking better with each pic but I had a scary thought, that over time that pristine white will look like the prototypes cheesy orange.
Okay it probably wouldn't get that bad but you all get what I'm saying.
