    I wondered if they would do one for this figure!! :lol 

    I will say, this kit could be refined a little bit. Don't have the wheel stick that far out, as he needs his knuckle-bumper like the original. The bigger wings and back wheels are good. Two rifles? I'll take it, just don't know why he needs two. :lol  Considering they added stuff to their SS Grimlock kit, I wonder if they'll consider working on something to add to Optimus Primal himself? And considering they made several kits for Titan Class Fortress Maximus, Metroplex, and Grand Maximus, I wonder if they'd consider making a new piece to plug into the Optimal Optimus suit to replace the Deluxe Optimus Primal that is an actual, gimmick-accurate backpack with extending chest guns and can swivel in Ground Assault mode? (Wouldn't mind if it involved a new chest piece that is colored accurately for Optimal Optimus and is shaped a little differently. I'd even like to see it still be able to house the Matrix :lol ). Some adjustments to the proposed positioning of that mode in that picture would be needed for us who are OCD about it being as accurate as possible, and maybe can help with getting things to sit where they should better (referring to the wheel again). :lol  Either way, it's a good start, and if they don't do any additions to this kit or any extra add-on kits, I may have to combine this kit with another company's kit to get this figure just right. Now we just need a Primal Prime repaint so that they will repaint their kit(s) for it so I won't have to repaint everything myself. :lolol

    You should comment your suggestions to DNA Design's Facebook Post
    I've already put my suggestion in for a pair of arm cannons for the smaller Primal. I think they could easily be made to slot in to the pegs on his wrists.

    Couple of questions:

    1.) How reliable/ reputable is this company’s product?
    2.) What is the quality of the materials?

    Unfortunately (or fortunately), I am not on Facebook and refuse to make a Facebook account. :lolol 
    They made kits for CW/UW Devastator, TR Fortress Maximus, which they then repainted for T30 Metroplex and Legends Grand Maximus, and made a full figure, a MP-sized Bludgeon. I don't currently own any of their kits, but from what I've seen and heard, they are pretty good. And their kits are much more reasonably priced than other companies upgrade kits.

    Idk... That's a lot to pay out for a figure I'm not crazy about in the first place. I'm not much of a Masterpiece fan tbh.

    I'm just not a fan of MP stuff. Seems like a slippery slope of high-ticket stuff. At least Bionicle stuff was cheap when I was a kid, so collecting that stuff was fun and not a wallet nuke. XD

    They are reissuing MP32, so you will have a chance to get the original deco figure. I think he would make a good standalone figure- you don’t ahve to get any other MPs

    They're reissuing MP Optimus Primal? Huh, didn't see that. Sweet! Any indication of whether or not the paint quality will be better?

    Nothing mentioned about change in paint quality- was there a widespread issue with the first release?
