• SynonymプロトタイプNeutralA neutral loanword for a trial model or prototype of an industrial product; much used in development and design.
• Related藍本WrittenA written, rather rare word for the source text a work is based on; 「原型」 is the original model or form itself.
• Antonym変形へんけいWrittenA written word for the shape after it has changed; contrasts with 「原型」 only when discussing an original and its transformed form, not a general antonym.

Use 「原型」 for the original model or form of a work, as in 「キャラクターの原型」. For a product prototype say 「プロトタイプ」; for the source text a work is based on, 「藍本」; 「変形」 is what has been changed from the original.
