G1 Optimus Prime

Pictured left is an extremely well preserved G1 Optimus Prime.  Optimus Prime should be the first target for any G1 Transformers collector.  Thankfully Optimus Prime is fairly easy to find in eBay listings so tracking one down is not difficult.

Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots, rivals of the evil Decepticons.  Optimus is depicted in the cartoon series of the Transformers as being a gentle giant, always willing to help the people of Earth and Stand for justice.  Optimus was a hero to many loyal Transformers fans and continues to be the most poplular of Transformers to this day.

With so much popularity, Optimus Prime was one of the better selling G1 Transformers in it's day.  This makes Optimus much more common than you would think and keeps the price of an original Optimus Prime reasonable.
