Masterpiece Optimus Primal

Video of the light up gimmick from Loopaza, plus they've got a bunch of images here.

And still no idea what the small hole on the left forearm is for

I still think they're going to offer the wrist computer with a Primal repaint/other BW figure at a later date:

Have they ever made a feature specifically for a future extra (with no use for the main release figure) on any other MPs?

Don't remember him ever having a communicator. Time to rewatch BW again.

The closest would be the alternate faces for Ultra Magnus that came with Delta Magnus:



That precedent makes me think they'll do the same for Primal.

With Rhinox and Rattrap:

Didn't Ultra Magnus already come with those alternate faces anyway? I don't have mine out so I can't check. And of course now that I'm trying to google it, I can't find any clear images Haha

And a couple of swappable faces (that the original release had - or at least had something that used the same fixing/hole) is different to a whole new extra that you won't be able to buy separately, basically leaving that hole in the original release Primal's arm for no reason. It feels strange for TT to go to the trouble of moulding a peg hole for a possible future repaint, when all they would have to do is "remold" an alternate panel if they decide to release a repaint/retool.

Seems like a weird move if that's what TT end up doing.

The new eyes that came with Delta Magnus are the rectangular and bug-eyed ones:



So old stock eyes:

It makes them money, because a collector will be compelled to buy the repaint/new figure. Kind of like how people just bought Soundblaster to get Ratbat.

Of course, it's all just speculation on my part.

Ah ok fair enough I can see the difference now.

Oh yeah, I know its just speculation at this point. Sorry I didn't mean for it to seem like I was trying to start something

No, no, don't be sorry! I just didn't want anyone to think I had some sort of insider knowledge on the matter! You know how rumours start on the internet!
