Title:
Optimus Primal
Description:
Optimus Primal (Voyager Class, 2020)
Hasbro ID number: WFC-K8
TakaraTomy ID number: KD-01
TakaraTomy release date: March 27, 2021
Accessories: Two ”Cyber blades”
Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Beast Wars, War for Cybertron: Kingdom Optimus Primal transforms from a robot accurate to his appearance in the first season of the Beast Wars cartoon into a realistic gorilla in 22 steps, as well as a cartoon-accurate King Kong style bipedal gorilla third mode. The figure makes up for its size with above-average articulation, including butterfly shoulder joints, double-jointed knees, opening hands, rotating shins for a foot point, and toe articulation in both modes. Optimus Primal also has fold-out shoulder cannons, two Cyber Blades that store on his back in either mode, and pop-out jointed forearm blasters. A rarity for the War for Cybertron Trilogy, Optimus Primal has no 5 mm ports barring his hands, making him largely incompatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. However, he still features 3 mm posts at the end of his blaster tips, as well as his buttflap; helping to replicate his ”Primejets” from the Beast Wars cartoon. His hands also feature articulated fingers along with a thumb molded to approximate the 5 mm peghole, although due to this he cannot hold both Cyber Blades in one hand as the original figure could.
Unfortunately, the white paint on the insides of Optimus Primal’s thighs near his hip joints is heavily prone to being worn off as a result of friction with his crotch plate, due to angular protrusions within the pelvis. The red paint on his biceps and knees is also prone to chipping due to scraping against the inner struts of the collapsed shoulders and backside respectively in gorilla mode.
Stock renders cast his robot mode feet in a more show-accurate grey. Hasbro stock photography is mistransformed, with the robot mode’s shoulder cannons still extended on the gorilla’s shoulders. Some pictures also pose his gorilla legs in a way that makes the flap of thigh-covering kibble appear like a loincloth, when it can plug into his flight stand port to sit flush with the legs for a natural appearance. Optimus Primal also comes packaged with his shoulder cannons deployed, although they can be folded away in robot mode. Some specimens have silver paint on the Cyber Blades, others are off-white. It is not known which variant is more common.
Like all Kingdom Voyager figures, Optimus Primal comes with a Golden Disk card that ”reveals a possible destiny of a key character”, with each character having three possible destiny variants.
Optimus Primal was retooled into Buzzworthy Bumblebee Nemesis Primal.
