In the non-G1 series, it appears that Optimus Prime got upgraded twice. At the first time, he was upgraded into a powermaster, and he had a human partner called Ginrai. I call this version of Optimus “Power Optimus”. He still looked similar to the original Optimus, but in the robot form he had more guns on his shoulders, some extra parts on his back, and a lock-like component on his belly which was the transformation of Ginrai. His truck form looked more complicated as well.
At the second time, he was upgraded into what I call “Super Optimus”. His body looked apparently different from the previous versions, and there were three human kids who would sit in his chest and maybe do some operations in battle. I call them “Super Optimus drivers”. From the images, the name of the boy in blue (apparently the leader of the three) was “Shuda”; the name of the girl in red was “Mineruba”; the name of the boy in white was “Kiyapu”. While personally I don’t like the idea of putting too many kids in the Transformers show, I do like the new look of Optimus. Please see the images for yourself.
在非G1系列，看上去擎天柱有两次升级。第一次，他升级成了“超能战士”，还有了一个人类搭档叫Ginrai。这个版本的擎天柱我称之为“超能擎天柱”。他看上去和原来的擎天柱类似，但是在机器人形态，他的肩膀上有更多的枪，背上也有额外的部件，腹部还有一个看上去象锁的部件，这个是Ginrai的变形。他的卡车形态也比原来的卡车看上去更复杂。
第二次，擎天柱升级成了“超神”。他的身体明显和前面的版本不一样了，而且还有三个人类小孩会坐在他的胸口，可能在战斗时进行一些操作。我称他们为“超神驾驶员”。从图片看来，蓝衣少年(显然是三人的头儿)名字是“秀太”，红衣女孩名字是“Mineruba”(纯音译)，白衣少年的名字是”Kiyapu”。我个人并不喜欢把太多人类小孩引进变形金刚动画片这种设计，但是超神的模样还是比较酷的。请各位看图吧。
