Me neither. Can't get excited about the toy full stop.
It's obvious now it's meant to be the dead Op from The Movie but..... what's the point?
Thankfully it seems likely this was this year's SDCC exclusive and the Alt Universe Op is something else - people keep saying Super Fire Convoy but I've not seen much justification for that.
I might have been interested in this if it were Nemesis Prime but even then I've never quite been happy with the Nemesis colours on the original Prime toy. Works a lot better on the G2 Laser Op and Armada Primes for my taste.
Maybe if they did a G1 Op cab as Nemesis Prime with a new fuel tanker trailer....
Has there ever been a Nemesis Prime of the G1 design that's had a trailer though?
Anyway, this is a pass, unless it's part of a bigger box with stuff I do want. Along with, probably, Megatron (unless that sword does something for Scorponok).

Alternate Universe Optimus is almost certainly SG Optimus.
If not, then Armada is a decent bet.
But where on earth would anyone pull RiD Optimus from? Why are they on that train? Like... There's not even grain-of-salt rumors.
There was a Studio Series listing popped up for a leader class 1986 Grimlock that is either SS AoE Grimlock repainted in G1 colors (which makes no sense for this line), or they're jumping tracks to G1, with the 1986 movie.
And if that's the case (please dear god no. We don't need a third sunbow dedicated line), I have high bets on Deadimus belonging to that line.

Really not keen on the faceplate scratches. Or the bust antennae. Which it turns out you can also get if you drop ER Prime headfirst onto a hard floor. |

ER Prime is the Poundland version of the Siege Prime.

We already got that robot in Siege. ER is utterly redundant. It may be the must redundant toy OF ALL TIME.
But as I said, paint that trailer in G2 colours and I'm there.

ER Prime is FAR superior to Siege though.

I put them side by side. They looked the same. I couldn't tell the difference. Pointless toy.

Better transformation, looks tidier. I gave my siege Prime to le child, but yes, unless you are a completionist, its pointless to get both!

It's Siege that's been rendered poinless and redundant.
