IT’S SHOWTIME!
Mark - I want to make a Titan Star Optimus Prime
Beancounter - :stops counting beans: No
Mark - What if he were THE 13TH PRIME!!
Beancounter - :knocks over bean jar in excitement: APPROVED
Stay tuned for this and more here at “Things that never happened”.
I don’t mind Optimus being the thirteenth Prime. I just don’t like the idea of him being there at the beginning of creation. That’d be like if you’re writing a story and your protagonist was hanging out with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It brings a lot of stupid baggage.
If he ascends to the level of Prime or is given the power it’s okay. Personally if i was writing a story, I’d have Optimus pass a trial for each of the twelve before he can become a proper Prime to fight IDK Unicron or something. Also I’d use FOC’s designation of Last Prime. Sounds way cooler.

Probably closer to "We need to make sure this next Titan sells. Better make it that guy that always sells."
Plus we need to get him into every Size class.
ROTF introduced that first.
all i remember from that film is the enemy scrotum scene. And retroactively becoming a sneak peak into Shia’s future.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the 13th Prime is Optimus (Star or otherwise), one of his predecessors, one of the other Autobot commanders (Fort Max, Victory Saber, etc.), or anyone else. In my collection and display, they're all just going to be backup for Rodimus against Unicron anyway.
I remember a time when a statement like, "There are too many Grimlocks to keep track of them all," would have been met with choking, hysterical laughter, yet here we are...
Hey, I can distinctly remember a time when I thought, "man, I wish we could get a new Bumblebee figure."
Damn dirty Monkey's Paw...
Hell, I have a freind that missed out on Combiner Wars becuase he wasnt actively collecting at the time and one of the things he kept telling me for years was he wanted them to do a new Superion... He didn't want "Menasor remold" which is how he sees the whole "frame" connecting idea.
The longest we’ve been without a Grimlock was the 8 year gap between BW Grimlock in ‘97 and the Alternator in ‘05
Man, I wish we could get a new Sixshot figure.
*Hasbro releases Energon Sixshot*
Seriously, I still stand by the assertion that the 6 changers are a solid foundation to make an Amalgamous Prime and would make a fine excuse to redo Sixshot (who hasn’t had a release since Titans Return). Plus potential retool into Quickswitch or Sixknight.
I want a fearlessly accurate Quickswitch. Not another Sixshot in Quickswitch colors.
Now when you say that are you meaning like Sixknight's look or....
Yes! Primus is the Optimus Prime archetype. He has the Matrix. From the beginning, when Furman introduced the concept of Matrix bearers, Prima was at one end of the list, and OP was at the other. His Aligned incarnation even has chest windows. With OP as the Thirteenth, then Prima's legacy is handed to his brother's reincarnation. It's a bit messy. It could be an interesting story, I suppose, if they ever felt like getting into it.
