    Most of the Beast Machines toys look absolutely nothing like their show counterparts. Very frustrating when you're a kid who actually cares about stuff like that lol.

    Double frustration when just a few years earlier beginning with the Transmetals, everything was moving towards the toys better representing the show. Even things such as the transformations were almost 1:1 with the only real stinker being Rattrap unable to twist his backback assembly.

    Maybe but previous to MP Primal he was probably one of the most show accurate Primal's ever, he even has Gary Chalk's voice! He's a fantastic toy and a true pseudo-masterpiece IMO.

    The scale of the figures in comparision to each other and their show counterparts was even worse.

    Many also had trouble standing on their own

    That was also their 3rd version of Primal from the show, the first one was really small and well ....... pictures speak for themselves

    Uh no...I can't agree with that, both Transmetal Primal and Optimal Optimus were more show accurate than that one.
    Though I believe it was the first transformer with the actual show actor's voice.

    Yeah I was really only talking about the voice if I'm honest, I love the toy so much I'm quite blinded by it where as I really didn't like Transmetal Primal, and Optimal Optimus was fine but not organic enough(at all) for my liking. They were definately more show accurate, that is true, but that was mostly due to the show models being based very closely on the toys. The art style in Beast Machines was much more...well, stylised. It was quite difficult to match the toys to the show or vice versa, this was one of the better efforts. A MP BM Primal or Cheetor or Silverbolt would be amazing if not terribly unlikely to ever happen.

    I just got mine and when attempting to pull off the face plate chipped off paint on the upper left head by the antenna. Does anyone know of a way to fix? It's not noticible unless you look close enough but 100 bucks and OCD and I'm going bonkers. Thanks for any help! :)

    My Primal cleared customs earlier today and is now in a local USPS facility. Perhaps by a slight Christmas miracle, it might get delivered tomorrow. If not, hopefully at least Tuesday. Not impatient on this one as I've wanted a Beast Wars MP forever. :D 

    (Unless of course they treat it as express mail since it's EMS, in which case, they deliver both Sunday and Monday in theory.)

    Man I am really bummed about my MP Primal.

    I had him on the flight Stand that came with MP Track and the pin broke off... so that's two thing I guess....

    Drill a small hole in the center of the broken pin, use a larger bit to drill out most of the pin, then chip out the corners with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Take your time and be careful.

    GF got me Monkey Man (as she calls him) for Christmas.

    Very very impressed. Kinda wish hewas closer to robot master size to fit in with Rhino better and disappointed in no beast wars storage of his blades, but everything else is just amazing.
