OPTIMUS PRIMAL

Here we take a step back into the Beast Wars era to have a closer look at Optimus Primal. This is the Takara version that was released under the United line & not the Beast Wars Anniversary version.
 

In beast mode, Optimus Primal is supposed to be in the form of a gorilla. This figure has to be on of the few figures that I find acceptable, because the transformation & body parts are of symmetry as compared to other bots from the Beast series.

The only part that doesn't resemble a beast is the upper back of the head where you can see part of the metal frame.

Here, we see Optimus riding on his hover board that serves as a weapon as well.

There is a beast key that you have to insert for part of the hover board to flip out. Once the board is flipped open, it reveals a lever that you can push to fire the projectile.

Here's Optimus Primal in robot mode.

Basically, you're just flipping the robot upside down. The arms of the gorilla now become the feet & the gorilla feet now become the arms of Optimus.

There is now much restriction on this toy, which allows for more ways to pose this figure.

Here's looking at Optimus holding onto the hover board as though he's ready to go surfing in space.

To the serious Beast Wars fans, I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss out on this bot. After all, this is Optimus Primal.
