Always loved the transmetals, especially Rattrap in his alt mode. Speaking of alt modes I guess these aren't getting proximity pieces like the Autobots and Decepticons.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Overall they look good but not crazy about em.

XM's Versions definitely has superior sculpt and their paint jobs look better

With Prime 1's I prefer their Base Themes more and their poses are definitely better, especially Megatron's. I like how they spotlight the T-Rex Head Cannon.

As much as I'd like to see Depth Charge and Rampage, I think Dinobot (maybe a Rattrap DX Piece) would be a smart choice. He was probably the most popular character excluding Primal and Megatron.

"Pictures from XM Studios Megatron and Optimus Primal - Beast Wars 1/10 Statue at Singapore Comic Con 2023.

~~~~~

“In memory of the Decepticons, for the glory of the Predacons, for the Cybertron that is rightfully ours... and mine to rule! I unleash the storm of vengeance!”

Not willing to accept their fate as subordinate to the Maximals, many Predacons wished to restore the glory and power once wielded by their Decepticon ancestors. Ruthless and manipulative, one such Predacon who would allow nothing to stand in the way of achieving this goal is Megatron, proclaiming himself as leader of the Predacons!

~~~~~

“Freedom is the right of ALL sentient beings, Megatron!”

The Maximals share many traits with their Autobot ancestors, including an unwavering sense of justice and a commitment to upholding the peaceful values of their forebears towards all living and sentient beings. These traits hold especially true in none other than Optimus Primal, leader of the Maximals. "

"Optimus Primal - Beast Wars will be ready for Pre-Order in the coming days.

Surrounded by Energon crystals, Optimus Primal is featured leading the Maximals into battle against the treacherous Predacons while wielding his Cyber Blades, two scimitars that turn into incredible weapons in his hands. For the Beast Wars line, XM sought to demonstrate the meshing of organic and technological elements when reimagined and produced in highly detailed polystone."

- Optimus Primal - Beast Wars is ready for Pre-Order now! -

"XM Studios is excited to present Optimus Primal from the Transformers Beast Wars line! The Maximals share many traits with their Autobot ancestors, including a commitment to upholding the peaceful values of their forebears towards all living and sentient beings. These traits hold especially true in none other than Optimus Primal, leader of the Maximals. Featuring a mix of modern and classic design elements from the cartoon series, every nook and cranny is lovingly designed and sculpted ground up by a team absolutely in love with the Transformers cartoons.

These Maximals tend to take on the form of animals, with upgraded physiology making them smaller, more durable and energy efficient. For the Beast Wars line, XM sought to demonstrate how the meshing of organic and technological elements would look like when reimagined and produced in highly detailed polystone. Featuring intricately sculpted fur and skin that blends into other metallic bodily components, each handcrafted statue is hand-painted with XM’s famous quality finish and produced in a complementary scale to the rest of XM’s 1/10 scale Transformers statues.

Surrounded by Energon crystals, Optimus Primal is featured leading the Maximals into battle against the treacherous Predacons while wielding his Cyber Blades, two scimitars that turn into incredible weapons in his hands. Having trans-scanned into the form of a Gorilla, Optimus Primal possesses incredible strength and power. Coupled with advanced technology courtesy of the Great Upgrade, this enables him to take on much larger opponents such as Megatron and even his namesake, Optimus Prime, should there ever be a need to.

Collectors will also be able to display Optimus Primal in an alternate pose, featuring the Maximal shooting forward with his hand-mounted dual barrel cannon. An alternate look featuring Optimus Primal wearing his face plate will also be provided. A complementary piece featuring Megatron will also be released for pre-order soon as well."
