    Oh, man! I want him now! I was literally looking at store sites to find when he's released. Not August! UGH! I can't wait that long!

    Those are the parts you replace when the third party upgrade is released for him.

    Seriously, right now it look like the only purpose they serve is somewhere to store his guns when you don't want him in nipple-cannons mode.



    Also, it's funny that by painting the central part of his Matrix, it's actually LESS accurate to how it looked in the cartoon.

    Which it is actually modeled after and different from the ones Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, and Predaking have. They did also rotate the center part 20º for seemingly no reason.

    While somewhat disappointed with Surfboardimus Primal Minor, it's not right how excited I am to get my hands on this. I haven't been this pumped for a standard production non-MP toy in years.

    I might be in the minority, but I think it looks like hot garbage.
    I love beast wars, Its actually my favorite series and my BWneo survive the jewel of my collection.
    But it takes optimal optimus, which is kinda weird, honestly the uglier of the two versions of a mold not very good to begin with, and makes its deco blander, and have do less.
    If we get a premium repaint into primal prime, it would make this figure look loads better (although it wont fix how really uninspired this feels compared to the original)

    The reason why hasbro didn't made a gorila mode was because organic modes don't sell sh*t these days.

    I think the people disappointed with the smaller robot not having a gorilla mould have perhaps forgotten or are missing the point that the smaller figures for the evolution leader figures are designed specifically to integrate into both the robot and alt modes of the larger figure. Which this does in a creative way I think. Otherwise you’d literally just have a deluxe Optimus Primal and a leader Optimal Optimus.... With the different configurations that this can be put into, I think the ground mode being missing is forgivable.

    This looks fantastic and I love all the ways you can display him, I don't know if I want to display him in gorilla mode so I can have Optimus Primal on display too or in robot mode.

    Must Buy for me. Think the flight mode is mistransformed. The arms should be spread out and the knees bent like the original

    This looks hideous compare to the original Beast Wars Op-Op toy.

    Ugh fine ill buy it...twist my arm some will ya....

    Seriously the more I see the more I dig it. Im in for the leader mode as I was with prime. I'll likely rarely utilize the shuttle mode but the entire guy looks great to me. Im happy the forearm armor can move to the shoulders. Now just to wait on PE to put out an upgrade set so we can finally have the ground vehicle mode.

    They had another reason because this is not Beast Wars Optimus Primal.

    If beast modes didn't sell I don't think they would make 2 combiners full of beasts.

    The one that will be the biggest of the line is made entirely of beasts.

    Gah. As I sit thinking about it, surf mode is growing on me. In tribute to G1 I wanna draw a version of it where the window is filled with all the titans riding around inside him. Scale means nothing. FU size!

    1 reason to buy this:

    Ankle tilts.

    Seriously, everytime I glance at my OpOp, those feet really bugs me.
