    I think his robot mode mouth looks hinged, but I hope it's swappable faces instead. I don't like the light up eyes, I prefer painted. That said.. man this guy is beauty. Already looks to be my favorite figure ever.

    I wouldn't be surprised either.

    Actually thinking about it I wonder if Takara will re-release all three main beast combiners. I kind of want Magnaboss, but I do actually want the Tripedacus and I still want a new Magmatron.

    No problem! I feel the same way, it is not the most attractive feature but being screen accurate always helps!

    Okay this is the absolute best I can do with it lol. Sorry to keep trying, I'm obsessed. :p  (And sick so I go stir crazy.) Last one I promise. Someone else (looks at panda...) can surely do a far better job.

    Gaaah I can't wait to see better pics of this guy.

    I just adore this MP figure. I need him.

    I hope he's around MP Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokscreen because he'd scale mostly well with Generations Rhinox.

    I don't know why I expected to not like this guy, but as usual Takara knocks it out of the park. Looks like I'll need to readjust my budget for the year again, and I hope it's released sooner than later.

    I've never been a fan of gimmicks, but at least the eyes don't look like they get in the way of Primal's functionality / design. And every other gimmick makes total sense from a screen accuracy point of view.

    I'm very much looking forward to Shockwave and the Munky!

    Have fun, all!

    Some very minor niggles, but I'm quite pleased with how this looks in plastic. I hope head articulation isn't impacted by the light up eyes - really like expressive neck jointing. He needs a Megatron and/or Dinobot to complete him.

    this looks really fantastic. my only wish is that it had a closed mouth faceplate to replicate the look of the original figure

    I'd really be surprised if he didn't, given that he used it quite often on the show.

    I'd rather they did away with the light up eyes. Red lightup eyes are just erry on any toy... It would have been better if they used the space to work through a flip up face plate like on TF animated Prime.

    The gorilla mode shouldn't have red light up eyes anyway....as most of the time in BW 1 he had normal eyes... it was only in BM that he had all these Spark abilities and started to emit light from various parts of his body (jokes intended)

    Well, that's just Prime! :D  With most new G1 Masterpiece figures now comes with multiple faces options, I would be surprised if they didn't give Primal various form of face plates.

    I need a better camera finally before this beauty comes out. Can you guys imagine how much fun he'll be to pose with Prime and pose them together?

    Nice catch. Now I can imagine him saying "Transform and roll out!" We all know he was the first to say that phrase. https://youtu.be/N0e3wMzQx8s?t=392

    Those will be great. I'm also thinking this is the first MP that really should be shot outside! Trying to put him on the backgrounds I usually use would look all kinds of wrong.

    Have fun, all!

    As a huge Beast Wars fan I would be totally fine with a separate line if it meant it would be easier for Takara to get more BW guys done.

    So, this new image has officially gotten me back into a Beast Wars craze. Love how that works, LOL.

    But what excites me perhaps even more than the upcoming figure itself is the potential new Beast Wars figures to come out of this line. The good thing about BW is that the cast was relatively small, meaning if Takara keeps up with it, we could eventually end up with both entire teams in Masterpiece form on our shelves. That would be amazing!
