This is cool and all, but for a G1 Transformers fan, I hope this doesn't mean TT will stop making G1 characters......

No they should still be making G1 MP's, this is just a oddball since Optimus Primal/Primal Convoy is a very popular character in Japan.

Thanks for the reassurance Chen. Thats good to know. I guess Optimus is like the Mazinger Z of the Takara world. They can make him in any form, and fans would still buy him.

About time we got some new shots of this, and about time Optimus Primal got the masterpiece he deserved. Finally TT is making a masterpiece worth buying to me.

It doesn't need to reinvent transformers. I just want refinements to perfect what the ultra class did. Give me proper forearm blasters that don't split the arms in half, give me the shoulder guns that don't have giant chunks of gorilla back flipping up with it, etc.

I have always liked the character but not ran across a figure in any of the lines worth picking up. I am hoping this will be the one.

It's looking good. I really hope they put some pistons or something inside Primal's arm so when bend the elbow you don't have some ugly gap.

What?! No fur?

Why the hell would they put fur on it? They're going for show accuracy.

Looks good, I hope it comes with a optional mouth shield head in robot mode.

Looking nice. I'll definitely pick this up. I wonder what the size will be.

I know some of the hard-core fans are always about scale scale scale...which frankly, I don't give a rats-butt about.
But, if the Japanese (who are known to have a hilarious sense of humor) are to take the scale thing, I'd die laughing if they truly released a Primal that is to-scale to the current Masterpieces! Primal would be at MP-10's ankles? HAHAHAHAHA...

The common opinion is he'll be car bot sized, which would make it possible to make other beast wars characters without them being ridiculously huge.
