Are we still going on about this? I don't get this whole idea of an MP being nothing more than an update thing, to me an MP is a collector aimed toy that commemorates a particular toy or character. The original Primal toy was awesome and still holds it own today (though sadly this may also be due to declining quality in some modern toys) but he's no MP, and he was released 18 years ago, assuming he comes out next year that's the same amount of time as we had between G1 Optimus and MP 01, so isn't it time to get some collectors grade Beast Wars toys for all the kids who grew up with that, and weren't able to buy an original Optimus Primal in the 90's?

That said the render is less than inspiring, but it's early days and I still think it's awesome they are making this.
