Masterpiece Optimus Primal

Yeah, this is where things get even more confusing. Here are the logo for the Year of the Caprid Transformers:
Autobot logo
Decepticon logo
You will notice that on the right hand side of both logos is this character: 羊, which, on its own, means "sheep."
The word for "goat" looks like this: 野羊 (or 山羊).
I just asked my wife who's a native Chinese speaker, and she confirmed that it's the same in Chinese (羊 = sheep, 山羊 = goat).

While the English text on the packaging may say "goat," the Chinese character on the logos say "sheep." So the official packaging refers to both. I have no idea why, but there you have it.

羊 in Chinese is a generic term for caprids. It can be both. And the Chinese zodiac is the same which does not really specify whether it's sheep or goat. Try googling a picture of say “Chinese zodiac 2015” you'll find all sorts of caprids.

I'm curious to see what's going on with the back of Primal's beast foot.

Silhouette doesn't look much different from the original iterations
