Here's a neat article about the different representations of Optimus Prime in video games:

I found page 4 especially surprising!

Good research here...page 2, Mystery of Convoy: You're playing as Ultra Magnus, not Optimus....the whole game is about figuring out what happened to the suddenly disappeared Optimus.

lol - no kidding. Good old ign...

I forgot about that Animated DS game. It sounds a lot like those Lost Vikings games...which I liked. I wouldn't mind tracking Animated down some day.

Didn't GI Awakening come out BEFORE the DS Animated game?

EDIT: Wait never mind, it did. For some reason, I Thought of the PS2 title.

Ign miss one , back in the day Playstion had release Die Hard Trilogy 2 and look who it is G1 Prime . Then again it was not offically Optimus so it may not count .

For some reason I thought this article was going to be about homages to Optimus Prime in non-TF video games. Like Liberty Prime in Fallout 3 or Hoptimus Prime in Fable 2. Should have known better. That would have take more research than simply typing in "transformers" into GameFAQs' search bar.

I'm baffled when the writer says that the Animated Game "much like the show wasn't very memorable"

I don't think their research was all that extensive

Agreed. Though I never played the game, the show was definetely memorable.

Protoman should be a free lance writer to every single company in the world, and if they want to have a Transformers article, it would be accurate and full of details.
