1. Because Optimus Prime cannot clip out of bounds in Deep Amazon like in the current any% route Hot Shot uses, I instead instead opt to use the old damage boosting strategy to get up the temple. To account for the missing Mini-Con from this change in strategy (Hot Shot gets Rangefinder in his route), I opt to abuse Optimus Prime's balloon physics (as I'm dubbing it :P) to easily grab Shieldwall. No other changes are required in the Mini-Con route AFAIK (my guess is Tractor is fast enough to grab compared to most other options to warrant going out of the way for it if you can't just drive up the slope)

2. Hot Shot is the only Autobot who can perform Warship Skip, so Optimus Prime has to use the old Mid Clip to get through Mid-Atlantic quickly.

These aren't exactly NEW strats, but it's good to document them anyway since the category is getting some interest as of late. I might throw my hat in the ring if it takes off because I love playing as Optimus Prime lol
