    What. The heck.

    Well then. The sculpt looks awesome. Reminds me of when Don drew him in the IDW series; great proportions. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the original design in the first place. Give us more Beast Wars for sure, but Transmetal 2 characters... meh, I'll pass.

    If it weren't for MP Primal I'd buy it. But it is a really neat looking update on Optimal Optimus.

    Umm... uh...err....wow. My brain's not even quite sure how to process this.

    Not a huge fan of Optimal Optimus, but this does look like a pretty nice toy aesthetically.

    Thing is, my brain was trying to process whether or not this would be worth getting over hunting down the original, since that was made at a time where the Beast Wars figures were pretty damned show accurate. So I had to go and actually look up the old toy and... yeah, this is better, by quite a wide margin. At least as far as the robot mode is concerned. This one can actually put the chest cannons away, for one thing. But the original also had a lot of weird proportions going on due to the toy's mechanics, like the long shoulder struts, and the chest plate/cockpit seems to sit rather low.

    I'll keep an eye on this at least. Not entirely sure I'll bite, because again, not exactly the greatest BW design.


    I have to say, it'd be a majorly missed opportunity if this doesn't come with an alternate Optimal Megatron face.

    Wow, that looks amazing. Being Perfect Effect it's bound to be pricy, but I really want this for the Beast Wars Masterpiece shelf I'll be getting together.

    Still happy with my official figure, but I have to admit this looks amazing.
