    Sort of off topic to what's being posted right now, but I'd love it if we got a full fledged "Generations" Beast Wars line. Too bad Beast Wars probably isn't popular enough

    There's a little speculation thread floating about if you had some ideas on what and who you'd like to see.

    Is the red and blue BM year of the monkey air attack Optimus Primal any good ?

    I'm thinking about getting him but i want to know your opinion.

    and what is the max price he's worth?

    I never had the exclusive color, but I had the original air attack BMOP'l back in the day. It's got potential for fun... position-detecting sound effects, pop-out jet trail effect, jointed fingers, lights, disc shooter in the chest... IIRC a spring gimmick in one arm for punching action...
    But I got rid of it because of: the head's light gimmick left his shelf appearance like a skull face yelling all the time, the armor panels that cover the beast forearms amd robot shoulders just did not stay in either place, call me picky but I wanted gorilla jaw articulation (thanks PE!), i could never get him to look good enough in gorilla mode (dont see anyone posting pics liking it either)...
    And the one thing I wamted so desperately to ignore but couldn't: his gorilla butt cheeks are a flap right where the hood of a jacket would lay down. Almost like he could use his own butt cheeks like a camping pillow.
    I have this image that when the chimps start a poo-fling fight, that Primal is mimicking an archer reaching for more arrows.

    Edit: as for how much it's really worth... obviously my vote is "$not" But if you love Primal Prime, special editions, or bigger figures it hits all those notes so enjoy what you enjoy.:2c:

    Terrorsaur is just a sexy bastard. If I did cosplay, I’d be him.
