Technically he was a prime , the matrix responded to him , and the oracle , only primes have that honor , as you see the matrix did not respond to ultra magnus , so it’s safe to say , he was prime of the future
My greatest question is what his relationship is with the original Optimus Prime? He refers to Prime as his ancestor in Beast Machines and he his head is similar to Primes'. In the episode Transmutate, Rattrap refers to Arcee as his great aunt. Does that mean Primal is the "son" of Optimus Prime? If so, then how was he created?
Good question, as far as the Arcee line, Susan Blu who voiced Arcee in the original G1 series was the voice director for Beast Wars. So I believe it was a throwaway line as an inside joke. Regarding Primal and his lineage, I believe he is simply the next “chief” as such, in a later generation. So he will have that kinship with Prime. Thanks for watching!
In a lot of ways Optimus Primal is a better overall leader than Optimus Prime. Prime just had a much bigger and better army. Optimus Prime was also built for war, a 5star general. Optimus Primal was a bit more adaptive to his circumstances.
Whether Primal actually becomes a Prime or not, he's still shown he's more than worthy of being one.
One of the most legendary Cybertonians, no doubt.

Couldn’t agree more, Primal is the definite leader for us!
"That's just prime"
It certainly is! Thanks for watching 😊
@@LSW-TV-iz6il I was surprised I was the first comment and like. It was a very clear, well written summary
@@LSW-TV-iz6il should do one on Beast Wars Dinobot next. He's a very nuanced character, even has the odd Shakespeare reference
Thank you very much!
He’s definitely on the list, stay tuned 👀
