This is what I was mainly refering to.
"In the upcoming 2007 Transformers film, Optimus Prime will be present as Autobot leader.
Prime now transforms into a conventional Kenworth cab (akin to his Laser Rod incarnation), rather than cab over design of his original Generation 1 body. In a move that has proven rather controversial among some fans, Prime's vehicle mode is now decorated with red flames painted onto a blue body, apparently as a means of incorporating both his classic colors while retaining a realistic color layout to the truck mode.
Some time after images of his truck mode were leaked, Prime's robot mode was also revealed on a poster.[2] Although heavily redesigned like the other revealed characters in the film, some classic design elements remain, including a predominantly red torso, primarily blue legs, the presence of windows in his chest, smokestacks on his shoulders, and a head design influenced by the original, featuring the iconic faceplate and antennae. It has been suggested, however, that the faceplate may retract to expose a mouth when Prime speaks (in the style of Optimus Primal, or the Transformers: Cybertron incarnation of Prime). It was publicly announced at San Diego ComicCon 06 that original Optimus Prime voice actor Peter Cullen will return to the role for the film."
Originally Otimus looked and has always looked like this in my opinion.
