I think these are the first images of Masterpiece Optimus Primal:

Finally some news! Even if it is only a render...

Hopefully they shrink down those forearm hinges to make them less bulky though.

Looking at that image, it looks like the only difference from the 10th Anniversary figure is the addition of (some) articulation in the hands. A bit disappointing to be honest.

Yeah, i'm feeling the same way, I was expecting a nice clean beast mode and some voodoo magic transformation to robot that would blow me away!

I do like, but Takara better fix those damn arm hinges, because even the original toy did it better!:

Bloody G1 fans with your bricks and their square panels that fold away neatly. We Beast Wars fans accept that some compromises have to be made. The laws of physics apply to these toys, and so if portions of the robot-mode have to show in beast-mode despite the best efforts of the designers, then so be it.

I'm a massive Beast Wars fan -- moreso than G1, which is why it's riding my ass so much!

I am not a G1 fan by any stretch of the imagination. I like interesting and innovative Transformers toys, however, and it's starting to look like that's something the Masterpiece line is allergic to. I'll be sticking with my perfectly lovely 10th Anniversary Primal, thank you very much.

Is that the original toy? I thought is was the new one and was thinking 'actually, that's the first pic where it looks good'

That's the updated one, but the "chassis" is still the same as with the original, original one.

Ooo, yeah. Ooooooooo, yeah!
