Looking better and better.
My memory of the original toy must be messing with my memory of the show model.Quote:

I think I am going to have a tough time deciding if I need to add the big ape to my collection or not if he looks as good in hand as he appears to thus far in the prototypes.
If he scales with the recent BW classics figures, he'll sit well on my shelf. Need more Maximal scum, too many Predheads lol
It looks so good that i'm hesitant to have a whinge (cause it's not the end of the world by any means)... but those elbows are really the only sore spot on this figure for me.
I know the show model has the same hinge design, but they've put it off-centre so it bulges out the front, and leaves a big gap when it's fully bent. I guess this is so he can do the chest beating pose, but I still feel it could have been done better. Maybe as a double hinge, or having an internal elbow piece that fills the empty gap (Apollyon has something like i mean)
Looks like i'm gonna have to pick up a Rattrap to go along with him though, they all look great together!
Primal scales well with the Generations Beast Wars figures... :D
The AllSpark has uploaded hi-res scans from Hyper Hobby magazine here.
So for anyone who was wondering what sort of improvements could be made with an MP level Primal, question answered.
I just hope we get a MP BW megs too.
When pre-orders do come online, who are the preferred online stores to deal with? I've not bought an MP before.
On the Hobby Magazine scans that were a few posts above. It's in red writing on one of them.Quote:

Loving all the extra faces and accessories MPs are coming with.
Now just hurry up TT and put out solicitations!
Those extra faces are cool!
I can't wait to see the finished product in hand.
I know I'll get this (I love my MPs) and I realise that it is exceptionally difficult when you are using an animal, but parts of it just irk me, such as the feet and elbows. I am being way too picky though.
I also kinda wish that the outside plastic in beast mode had an almost hair like feel to it. I think they are attempting that with the look of the paint but it would be great it it's not just a smooth plastic feel.
I don't think you're being too picky, I think they are legitimate criticisms.Quote:

I'm in the trukk not munky camp and wasn't that keen on this as it doesn't fit what I have until I saw that dancing munky pose. Now I'm officially on the fence for this!
One of the strengths of the original BW figures was the meticulous detail that they poured into sculpting features like fur, scales, feathers etc. I agree that it's a shame that this appears to be absent in the MP figure, but I think that it's because they're going for show-accuracy. So the surface of the beast mode is screen-accurately flat. We've seen the same approach being taken w/ G1 MPs, so it's not all that surprising.
Some screencaps from a new video, taken by Tagoal:

Looks pretty awesome with the paint apps, cleans up the elbow area. That render effect looks great.
Not sure if I will get this but would love to see one in person.
I really hope they change the robot feet to be more metallic like in the show.
Just let me goddam pre-order it already!
What is with Dinobot being transformed in the corner of the picture?
Could we soon see an MP Dinobot? :D:p:p
Yes yes yesQuote:

Probably a typo but words 4&5 together is a dangerous mix. ;)Quote:

Click on thumbnail for larger image in new tab/window, then click again for full size.
So we've now got a video showing the transformation of primal.
Also, what looks like to be the final paintjob (courtesy of Tagoal):

Great now I have to avoid TT's own videos spoiling the transformation of a new MP just to be surprised.
Given how low quality the video is, along with the voice actor guy fumbling his way through it, there wasn't all that much to see that we've not already seen (and surmised) from the pictures.Quote:

Probably hopefully just an error
Unless they for some reason decided to relegate him to the TAV line for some reason
I hope not since Beast Wars deserves masterpieces
