    Are you referring to the add on kit for the Hasbro Optimus??

    If so, this is a different Optimus.

    *GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS MEGATRON'S FACE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Pretty Sure he's talking about the Posable Hands kit, as this KO Optimal Optimus didn't come with the posable hands, they were released separately as a kit. The Primal Prime release of this KO mold has the posable hands as the stock hands.

    I am interested in this figure, but I have heard that it breaks easily that the plastic is very fragile
    That's right

    The original release was iffy, QC-wise. I've heard that with this re-release, the QC should be improved? I believe that's what was said. Primal Prime had pretty good QC, so I imagine anther run will be better.

    Oh heck no, he's about Voyager Class size, because he's meant to generally scale with current Masterpieces:

    MP-10 is approximately ROTF Leader Class height.

    They said they are still working on their TM2 Megatron and a large size Optimal Optimus is under planned.

    So, still no word on what sort of neck joint he has or if his head is comparable in size with that of a titan master?

    Seems like you could just go buy a BW Primal and, be done with it.

    So how tall is that Original Primal version in robot mode? It's hard to find info on it
    Seems to be pretty small and Chimungmung has it listed at 12cm which would put it into the Legends catagory, but not so sure I trust it. I went ahead and ordered one anyways for the fun of it

    They're still available in Taiwan. Maybe try Ebay? Or, I could try to source one for you as I live here.

    Edit: Here's one

    Optimal Optimus

    I don't own Optimal, but the regular Primal is OK. Not the best in the world but it doesn't feel like it will break at all. He really is a modified mini ko of the original or Robotmasters hybrid kinda thing. If you can find one for a decent price I say go for it. I got mine from Robotoybase when if first came out. Not sure if he still has any. If you are looking at Optimal Optimus to pair with Heatdeath, it might be too big.
