5) War for Cybertron (2020)
Although the War for Cybertron games came well before it, the Netflix animated riff on the War for Cybertron toyline gave us a version of Optimus that is essentially what most Transformers fans always want out of an Optimus Prime redesign: the classic look, with modern detailing.

But it’s G1 with some modern greebling, and that’s always going to go down well.
