And Megatron was larger than Dinobot, so hopefully Megatron will be the largest MP BW figure.

Of course, gorillas don't stand upright (humans are the only primates who have a fully erect gait), so the a scale Optimus Primal's head would be somewhere between the heights of the Spike and Daniel figurines included w/ MP Ultra Magnus. This is in beast mode, so in robot mode it'd be maybe a head taller than Spike. Even going by cartoon scale, Optimus Primal would only be about as tall as MP Spike in Exo Suit in robot mode.

Yeah I'm keeping my BW MP's with my vintage BW figures. Primal and Cheetor won't scale at all with G1 MPs. Maybe a MP Optimal Optimus would, but that's just an educated guess.

So much awesome they can barely fit all the photos on the back of the box! This week has dragged on so long waiting for him!

Hhmmm... that's an interesting idea. Would look pretty cool too. Only thing is that my BW shelves are pretty darn full. My MP shelves have more room for now, but will become full themselves as I build my G1 MP collection. Hhhrrmm... I suppose I could pack away my Volcano Base to free up more shelf space for MP Beast Convoy.

Yeah, they really packed it in on the back!

TT have really kept a tight lid on this guy -- no lunchtime specials and reviews months in advance!

That's pretty surprising!

Interesting... looks to be closer to Mega size than Ultra (which does make it more show-accurate)

Japanese street release date is still tomorrow (Saturday), right?
