Thanks to Thom who sent me the heads up on this. There is a new Transformers TV spot out now… and this one shows Optimus Prime talking with his face shield opened up revealing a mouth. I had 2 reactions:

Having his classic face guard closed most of the time gives them the best of both worlds in my opnion. But it’s certainly open for debate. Take a look below:
