The Differences between Transformers Bloated Optimus Prime Vs. Optimus Prime

Bloated Prime vs. Optimus Prime

As the wife of iamratchet, I had come to know Optimus Prime. I had no idea why there were bloated fists and accessories and really what the difference was. I knew of Prime's with metal sided trailers and some with plastic trailers. Who knew Optimus Prime was so complicated?

We have our friend Hans to thank for the detailed pics and descriptions comparing Bloated Prime to Optimus Prime. Click on the picture to enlarge.

To my knowledge (and I could be wrong) the Bloated Optimus Prime is just an earlier version of Optimus Prime. He was manufactured by Takara.
