Optimus Prime has been represented by different trucks throughout the Transformers franchise. The first generation Optimus Prime transforms into a Freightliner FL86 cab over semi-truck.

In the Transformers: Age of Extinction movie, Optimus Prime is represented by a Western Star 5700XE semi-truck. Additionally, there are replicas of the Optimus Prime truck from the movies, such as the one based in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, which is believed to be one of only three Optimus Prime AOE trucks in existence. Another replica is a 1992 Peterbilt 379 stunt truck. There is also a fan-built Optimus Prime truck. Finally, the upcoming movie Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will feature a Freightliner truck as Optimus Prime.
