What is your favorite Optimus Prime toy?
My favorite Optimus Prime toy is a toss up between the original G1 and the 20th Anniversary/Masterpiece. I always wanted Prime as a kid, had an Ultra Magnus which I used to pretend he was Optimus Prime all of the time, but the Masterpiece is really nice.
Other mentionables are deluxe Classics G1 Prime and I am a big Optimus Primal fan. I love the original Big Bot and the Classic version as well. I also still have an Optimal Optimus in the box unopened.
TF Animated also deserves a nomination, I have the voyager class one, and it is a pretty decent version.
Last but not least, RID Prime is one of my favorites as well.
Which ones do you like?

Classics Voyager Prime. I had the deluxe Classics Prime, and it seemed like it was just slapped together. The Voyager version, however, was simple but fun to transform, has great articulation for posing, and is simply a great toy. I don't own any other Primes than that, outside of G1 Prime and Legends ROTF Prime.
For my absolute favorite Optimus figure, at this point I'm going to say Animated Voyager Prime. I really like his character the best of all the versions of Optimus throughout the years, and his toy incarnation has lots of cool features and a very cartoon accurate look. Close second would be Classics Voyager, a very well thought out figure.
Tie between Car Robots and Masterpiece. Both robot figures are have a great heft to them for their size, and fantastic articulation/poseability. Both have great transformations and a vehicle mode that is well enough put together that its not immediately evident if or how it turns into a robot. The Car Robots OP also has a great combiner mode with that year's Ultra Magnus, one of the best of that sort ever done, where the gestalt doesn't merely look like you extended the robot's limbs.

My favorite of those I actually have would be the new movie Prime, I think it looks great, and I don't know why they (or should I say Bay?) couldn't make more TF's look like their namesakes. The only other that comes close is Ravage.
What I really want is an MP Prime, and not the Hasbro shortstacks version. I may go ahead and shell out for the overpriced MP-04 reissue, since it comes with the trailer.

I've absolutely fallen in love with the ROTF Leader Prime, especially since I figured out how to transform him (despite the instructions' best efforts). Beyond that, 20th Anniversary Prime is definitely up there, not because it's a great toy, but because of the massive amounts of enjoyment I get from it.
Count me among the many that salute Powermaster Prime's durability as a factor for a childhood favorite.
Picked up the God Ginrai reissue as an adult, and it had lost its allure by that time for me.
I suppose I have to echo what others have said: I really like the new movie Prime since it looks like what it's supposed to in both modes, and Classics Prime is snazzy as well.

25th Ann. is currently my personal favourite, but I'm really hoping to pick up the ROTF Leader Prime.
STOP THE PRESSES! Today i picked up the Burker King ROTF Fallen Prime. He looks like he's made more than a couple trips to burger king himself. And he has no articulation. And a few bits of jetfire that stick to him innapropriately and make it look like he's attending a masked ball.
Surely the best transformers figure ever constructed?
