    The MP Beast Wars releases was the reason why I am taking a gamble on MP-44. I cannot stop praising both Primal and Dinbot's transformation mechanics. Simply delicious and rewarding. Waiting on that MP Rhinox now :)

    I love robotmasters Optimus Primal. But if I could change anything it would be to make him at least 1/2 an inch taller if not a full inch

    So with Seige Apeface happing, an Optimus Primal retool is inevitable. However, looking at the jet mode, it could easily be retooled into a bat, a clunky bat but still easily passable bat mode. That would make for a awesome Select Series figure. Him being mostly blue wouldn’t matter since they can refrence the Transmetal color scheme for the gorllia mode.

    Curious to see how Snapdragon is going to made. Megatron could be possible since Snapdragons jet mode silhouette could be reworked into a Crocodile in theory.

    I honestly doubt Primal will happen. We couldn't even get a Cybershark repaint from Sky-Byte back in the Generations line. They'll probably do Beastbox

    Thanks! This is my first time hearing of this.

    Are there any other beast wars statues like this out there? I have seen the Megatron and Optimus Primal (with the fur) statues but I think that's it.

    Well Nevermind then... Didn’t think that in 2019 that people are still against anything original. Have fun not getting anything BW related for another 10 damn years I guess.

    And how is ANOTHER Optimus Primal toy an original concept? I want modern homages to literally any other BW character please. And right now I don’t have a lot of faith in hasbro to produce a BW toy that isn’t worse than the original.

    I think Hasbro's waiting until the hinted 25th anniversary Beast Wars line to do a new Optimus Primal figure for Generations with a mold dedicated to him as opposed to being a retool anyway which makes sense given that Hasbro's strongly pushing for a more collector focused line for the older fans that started with both SS and Siege.

    Yes I think those are the only other ones to my knowledge. Those were made by Prime1Studios and both retailed for around $1k. There are some smaller "Metal Monuments" from Japan. But I don't really think those count as "statues". Maybe some would consider them but not me personally. They're real small almost like PVC figures.

    I’m just being realistic. Look back at the Titan Returns line. They made Galvatron and other G1 characters that weren’t headmasters into a headmaster. Yet couldn’t bring Sideways to the line. Literally a character from Armada that had G1 level articulation and had the headmaster gimmick.
