Takara Tomy's Masterpiece MP-32 Optimus Primal celebrates the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars, the CGI animated Transformers series that followed the Maximals and Predacons as they waged war on prehistoric Earth. Optimus Primal leads the Maximals as their courageous commander, transforming between a robotic gorilla and his beast mode. Beast Wars was a landmark series that revitalized the Transformers franchise in the late 1990s, winning an Emmy and building a passionate fanbase. Optimus Primal distinguished himself from the original Optimus Prime through his more personal leadership style and willingness to sacrifice himself for his team. The Masterpiece figure was announced after a 2013 fan poll revealed surprising demand for a Beast Wars entry in the premium line. Standing approximately 190mm tall, the figure is constructed from ABS, MABS, PA, polycarbonate, POM, and PVC. With product code 4904810861775, it retailed at 12,000 JPY and features an intricate gorilla-to-robot transformation matching the show's CG models.
