The Optimus in this battle clearly links to the first Generation Optimus. It's the Cthulhu thing all over again, we can only take into consideration what version is in the battle, not the whole history unless the poll says that it is from the whole franchise, like the "(Godzilla)" part of the "Godzilla (Godzilla)" thing. Also, there's more evidence that this is First Generation Prime because the first generation TV Show was called "Transformers".

So yeah, this is the toasty G1 Optimus only. I wonder what melted metal tastes like...
