Masterpiece Optimus Primal

[Deonasis]

I have this preordered and paid for but still my main interest for him is to stand beside a big purple t-rex MP sometime in the future.

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

Just think of it this way, Malibu Stacy has a new hat.

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

That came up a few months ago in this topic, and it is worth quoting myself here...

One thing to note is something that the Hasbro people said at this years BotCon is that TakaraTomy will often add in things to the toy designs with something future in mind "just in case"... like combiner ports, tabs or post holes that we sometimes never find out what they were for because they weren't used in its first release.
Kinda like putting in electrical points around the house when it is being built - some may never be used but they are there just In case and don't negatively impact on the overall design.

I think they gave some examples, but I can't remember any of them.

I think it was speculated, or even noted at the time, that the Masterpiece Star Saber was designed to accommodate a Masterpiece Victory Leo toy, if the designers were ever asked to create one.

A couple of video reviews -- one in Japanese and another in English from Optibotimus.

The Optibotimus review is in better quality, but the Japanese review shows some of the features that Optibotimus neglects to show, and is a lot more fun in general.

Also some awesome shots from Sixo:

My order with PC is still coming up as "unfulfilled". The same could be said about every Beast Wars fan this year.

Give it time. He's only just been released so they'll trickle through PC soon I'd imagine
