    just pointing out that people keep saying they wish there were more faces but the new version comes with more accessories despite having less faces.

    Yeah I know, I'm just pointing out why they are able to do it ;)  Personally I'd prefer faces over unpainted swords, a double sword (why couldn't they find away to connect the existing two?) and an oddly non-toy accurate mace. The mutant mask is the only new accessory I like but I can't see myself ever using it for display. However it's more me convincing myself MP-32 is better and than I don't need this that anything else.

    I feel like this would get far more appreciation if, say, it were a fan custom.

    Amazing how perceptions change when a price tag is involved. :lol

    It would still receive criticism for ruining a perfectly good figure and paintjob :p

    To add another layer - in order to get this done from a customizer it would require an original primal plus customizing fee and thus be at *least* twice as expensive. As an official toy though, rather than admiring a one off, people are forced to make a decision on it like you're alluding to.

    I'm definitely buying this over MP-32, and if there's a Universe repaint, I'll buy that too.

    There's nothing better than swapping one unnecessary repaint for another, right?

    Was being facetious -- while BW Megatron may like the Universe colours over the deco that MP-38 has, someone, somewhere would consider the Universe deco just as unnecessary as well simply because they don't like it.

    Gorgeous repaint. Really digging the anime look, especially on the beast mode.

    Love how the mace is accurate to the original Japanese box art.

    Honestly I like the mold a ton. This having a non premium paint job means I wont be scared to death of having the paint scraping off. It homages the toy version in more ways than one!

    I don't really need this repaint. Have all Beast Wars Optimus versions and the Masterpiece. No need of a Masterpiece trying to be similar to the original toy, which as toy still is really great.

    If you look into the history of Primal's toys, specifically the original and robot master toy moulds, you'd probably laugh.

    So I guess we can forget about getting this one as a Hasbro release, too?
