Looking pretty good actually.

I think the fur might be a bit wild, however I'm looking forward to seeing the full reveal.

Loving the full mask option (no lips).

I love Beast Wars but as any TF collector will know the toys never translated well from the show ( that's an understatement lol ) and while some of the figures are legendary for other reasons ( see Longrack ) and while they have finally got somewhere in my opinion with the MP Optimus Primal i think what Prime 1 has done here is phenomenal.

It looks amazing, while i do plan to pick up some G1 statues down the road, i may be in for this entire line....

What scale is this? Was this from the beast wars or a made up version with new parts?

You're not serious right? Surely you recognise this?

This is from the final scene of the Transformers Animated Movie. After Optimus comes back from the dead he finds Megatron and - to steal Rodimus's words - goes 'Ape-Sh*t Crazy'. It's paying homeage to that. I assume that's why they added the glowing red eyes as well - after he steals the Parallel All-Spark straight from Megatron's chest.

Cyber shark? Lol... I like him but not sure if I would pay 600.00 - 900.00 for it. Would prefer main characters like t-Rex megatron, dragon megatron, tigerhawk, dinobot, T2 blackarachnia etc...

They should put a part of Waspinator's irridescent and transluscent wings on the base, that would look stunning on the jungle enviro and I know P1 could nail the paint app. It was always my favourite thing about the figure.

Yea I get that cbg,but everyone has their favorites. And as great as it'd be to see it get made,I highly doubt it. They will stick to the few mains on season one and mabes a few of the mains from season 2. There's over 75 beast wars characters so I severely doubt they'd do them all if even a 10th of that.

I doubt they'll do any Transmetal sculpts, but I'd freak out over a transmetal 2 Cheetor or Dinobot.

I'd throw my money at a Dragon Megatron as well.

To add to Wurmtongue's post:


"In the spark of an enemy, there will be salvation. And in the darkest hour, there will be a light."

Prime 1 Studio is proud to present PMTFBW-01: Optimus Primal from Beast Wars: Transformers. Optimus Primal is one of the most prominent and well-recognized Maximals in Transformers history. Young and untested, Optimus Primal was a mere captain of an exploration ship when he and his crew were diverted off-course to pursue a stolen Predacon ship under the leadership of Megatron. To Commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, we have crafted Optimus Primal with attention to details and true to the original design of the character. The base on which it stands features a defeated Waspinator among the jungle environment. The statue of Optimus is fitted with LED light-up eyes. The whole statue including the base stands at an impressive 25 inches tall. This is the ultimate Optimus Primal piece for all Beast Wars: Transformers fans.

Statue Features:
-Size approximately 25 inches tall [(H):63cm (W):40cm (D):46cm]
-LED light up function on head
-One (1) Switchable Normal Head
-One (1) Switchable Angry Head

Pre ordered. This piece is awesome. Looking back on it, never really liked Primal's first transmetal look. Also, his final form was cool, but it was a bit much, lol. Preferred Dragon Megatron much more.

I wonder what other characters they have planned for the line. Personally I'd go crazy for transmetal 2 Dinobot and Cheetor.

Yep. They could have just gone the easy route and not even have Waspinator's head and arm on the base. It could have been nothing but just grass and dirt but they went the extra mile and included that as well as other tiny details like the mushrooms on the tree trunk.

That Waspinator head and arm alone is more detailed and complex than some entire SS pieces :D :hilarious:. I'd like to say I'm kidding but sadly, I'm not.

The paint is more glossy than I was expecting... As someone mentioned, will look great on Eva's. On this, I'm not so sure about. Maybe a bit more grey in his fur would be nice (less jet black).

Also, I really hope they fix that EX battle mask head to be more like their original teaser. The way the mouth part sits in like that just looks off to me. It should be in line with the rest of the face plate like any other prime.

The price is crazy though. Really, how is it more than their G1 Megs and the same as their G1 Prime? Surely this is an easier build than them?

Oh, if I didn't say already, yeah, I'm getting this.

I agree completely. When they showed Megatron it only validated the Primal purchase even more for me. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see it had waitlisted. I'm happy that the Beast Wars fans like myself that grew up with it are still out there and willing to buy these amazing statues.

Don't sleep on Megatron when he goes up for preorder CBG!

Looks like P1 have reduced the ex edition size. Sideshow have it listed as 500 ES for the ex but P1 have the ES as 200 on their site.

By the way the ex is still available on P1's new site.

200, that's low!

I guess that means we'll be lucky to get any more BW statues after Megs.

Maybe we'll just get Op and Megs in their TM2 forms and call it a day?

It would explain why we got a broken Dinobot on Megatrons base with no full statue planned.

Yeah a guy over at SS got his in recently, he posted pics. It looks great.

Glad I jumped on board and grabbed it. I was reluctant get the monkey. Lol. Ordered Megatron already and felt like he was enough. But there was nothing out right now to spend my money on so..

Yeah can’t wait.

He’s here and he is BIG!

My first Prime1 statue and I absolutely love it!! I really did not expect it to be this ginormous. And it’s so damn heavy.. I could barely lift him out of the box. For those of you getting to these P1 statues, I’d say your going to need a bigger boat 🚣-♀️. 😂

I’m so happy with this guy.

Does anyone know what scale these are. I was told 1/4 scale but it really feels more like 1/3 ?

Yeah but then how can a monkeys be bigger than Darth Vader, put this next to my 1/4 scale IS Vader and this piece dwarfs him.

majestic1
03-29-2018, 03:49 PM
I thought Primal was larger than an average Gorilla, some sources online say he's around 10 foot tall so I think these are under 1:4 maybe 1:5 scale but who knows. T-Rex Megatron should be taller than Primal so I don't think they are both the same scale.

Prime 1 say on the order page they are "non scale" so I guess they couldn't figure it out either.

KELPIE

Waay bigger than I was expecting.

mine has a wobbly head and gun barrel but overall really happy with him and brings a lot of joy.

A little bit of a gripe at these things though... I assume they are meant to be broken bits of metal and not foliage, however they just kinda came out wrong. Only minor though and not really the focal point of the piece.

Happy to have him and Megs on the way. They'll be great among the other transformer pieces.

Is the wobbly head an issue where it doesn't stay locked into one position or is it a weak magnet? I have a WL converting and he's sold out everywhere. I'm a bit worried about space but who else will ever make Beast Wars statues like these again?

Going by the releases so far, will they ever make a Waspinator and Dinobot? Alive, of course. I get the feeling P1 is done with this line.

they wont it didn't sell well. They say people didn't buy these as fast as they would like. I would blame their high prices which kept away most people. Same will happen top some of their other lines soon. Prices are just too much they are asking. Megatron was 1300.00 shipped. But they are really nice if you liked beast wars. I have both and love them!

chavez553
11-17-2018, 12:18 AM
I’d buy it.

They’ll double in price in a few years.

The wobbly head is because there is no magnet. But if you put in, it’s not going anywhere.

The two of them are the center piece of my collection.

Sounds nuts as much as I loved the G1 series, I loved BeastWars more.

It's a total non issue.

Just a minor gripe.

I'd get it, doubt there will be many chances in the future for high-end collectables of Beast Wars in the future.

P1 have said they aren't doing any more.

There’s rumors of a reboot so I wouldn’t bet against it.

You just probably won’t see them in there vintage form again.
