I think this primal should be used as a temporary Apelinq depending on if he scales with the SS, or if you pretend the mainline Maximals are younger versions from the opening.
I like the original design and figure the most, but I have to admit that this guy is pretty cool. His new design in the movie is much more realistic rather than the cheesy 90’s design which I’m still a little mixed on. He has good articulation and is accurate to the movie. For those who are looking for more realistic rather than toy looking transformers, I think it’s a must buy.
Primal is just really getting a lot of love. His mainline Voyager was easily one of the best mainline figures, now this and his upcoming SS version looks like one of the best SS figures. Not to mention the really great yolo part figure. I guess Hasbro must really like this guy 🤷♂️
I wanted to do a "take a shot every time PvP says 'bang' but I realized a few minutes in I wouldn't be able to afford the ambulance ride to the hospital" 😂
There absolutely needs to be more of stuff like the alternating mask face with future Optimus Prime figures, it doesnt seem to hard to do either unless its like a voyager figure
17:48 Hey PrimevsPrime, I just saw a few days ago that DNA Design is making an upgrade kit for this figure to actually turn him into Apelinq. It's gonna be upgrade kit number DK-48.
You know what? Considering how amazing of a villain Scourge was in “Rise of the Beasts”... do you think we’ll ever see Tomy Takara do an Ultimate figure of him?
I was pushing and pushing to get his back to meet his chest when converting from robot to beast until I saw that small snap of robot head into the center of his abdomen and bam, the fit! Thanks for that awesome walk through transformation!!
Just received my primal today. I am used to collecting masterpieces but this figure has such a great build and feels nice and solid and looks great for such a reasonable price that I wish I could find this type of quality TF more often.....Very pleased. I will be getting another one for alt mode.
This figure looks amazing i have to say the details are on point and looking at the back in robot mode almost looks like the show designs jets for flight.
Aquí takara usó de base al Masterpiece para hacer esta figura, similar a lo que pasó con la figura de battle Grimlock de Transformers adventure que usó como base a la figura de fall of Cybertron de generations, buena elección
Have him pre-ordered. Can’t wait to have him. Imo, he looks better than the Hasbro SS. Stupid question: I thought Hasbro and Takara Tomy had merged. Why are they back putting different versions of same figures like before the merge? I always bought and thought Takara Tomy versions/products to be far superior.
Can't wait for SS Optimus Primal that thing looks so good. Some of the accessories you can use for other SS figures like the chain for Battletrap's mase.
@@HardHeadtfreviews2008 Hmm, you have a point. SS Rhinox is supposed to be released to the public in October, but PrimeVsPrime reviewed him last month I believe.
Have you preorders the bumblebee movie Arcee Threezero figure dlx or do you alredly have it through the p.o? cause last week Justin’s Collection already made a review video for the figure
PrimeVsPrime, thank you for finally tackling this, I've been waiting a while for your review on this guy. This makes me definitely glad I preordered this guy on BBTS.
The only things I don't like is the gorilla head cut in half and hollow and that the holes for the weaponizer protrude so much from the arms but it doesn't prevent you from enjoying the figure at all, it's incredible
While I do think I prefer the look of the SS figure I gotta say this looks epic. Love how he has gimmicks without sacrificing the articulation. Cheaper than I thought too.
Love that sound effects...Bang...Bang...then missiles projectiles BANG! Always Takara...from 2007 TF movies... always Takara almost makes it perfect 😁♥️
I’m really hoping for SS FOC grimlock and he has to be a large leader class, like bigger or the same size as the SS07 grimlock up to his horn and the other dinobots are large voyagers
A great throwback to the original Beast Wars Primal with all the fun gimmicks. You should do a Top RotB Primal Robot Modes and Beast Modes video once the SS is out.
Damn, if I hadn't already preordered the SS version before finding out about this one I think I might have gotten it instead, I love the gimmicks, colors and articulated hands on this one.
I genuinely think he looks better than the SS version so far! He looks BIG, too! I've got him pre-ordered and am looking forward to this coming out
He’s a really big figure! I like how he’s kinda old leader scale 🤩
Ah, the memories of the past.
Both this & the Mainline Voyager Primal are more movie-accurate than the Studio Series Primal.
one thousand times better.
I like studio series Optimus primal and this but I wouldn’t say it’s much better
I have been waiting for this video!!! I am excited to have this figure!! A Maximized Masterpiece!!!
Ah thanks so much mate! It’s a really cool figure!
@@PrimeVsPrime I know for sure that’s my default Primal now. 🦍
Speaking of which, imagine they made MPM Optimus Primal!
It definitely goes to show that Takara Tomy can still make better Transformers toys than Hasbro ever could in recent times.
This figure looks AWESOME! But......I still believe the SS is superior from what we've seen.
Cannot wait for the SS one!
I second that 🤌
But it'll just be a glorified Voyager. I have SS Scourge and he is barely taller than a voyager figure.
@@jamiemeansjamesmusic yeah, idk why they made Scourge so small. But Primal is both big and Chunky. You should check him out when he was on the stream
Idk the figures believe had kibble legs so it looks kinda weird
I think this primal should be used as a temporary Apelinq depending on if he scales with the SS, or if you pretend the mainline Maximals are younger versions from the opening.
That’s a very good idea! I may custom this guy once I get the SS
@@PrimeVsPrimecould you possibly show us the results of the primal custom
Yes I think the same too. The beast mode of Apelinq is even taller and bulked than Scourge
Love the big exclusive toys Takara do, like the RID Optimus Prime and Legendary Optimus. This looks excellent!
Me too mate! I never picked RID Prime up sadly! But this one is really fun!
I like the original design and figure the most, but I have to admit that this guy is pretty cool. His new design in the movie is much more realistic rather than the cheesy 90’s design which I’m still a little mixed on. He has good articulation and is accurate to the movie. For those who are looking for more realistic rather than toy looking transformers, I think it’s a must buy.
Takara really outdid themselves!! That’s two gimmick tf toys that takara nailed already, the primal and the bb movie prime!
I like to see this as the ULTIMATE RETOOL of the OG Optinus Primal figure from the 90s... and its AMAZING
Primal is just really getting a lot of love. His mainline Voyager was easily one of the best mainline figures, now this and his upcoming SS version looks like one of the best SS figures. Not to mention the really great yolo part figure. I guess Hasbro must really like this guy 🤷♂️
Hasbro: Monke money 🦍💴💵💷
I think this is the best Optimus Primal figure based on Rise of the Beasts so far!
"Optimus Primal is a war machine. I say we give him full armament and point him in the right direction"
Dinobots suggestion in Beast Wars
I wanted to do a "take a shot every time PvP says 'bang' but I realized a few minutes in I wouldn't be able to afford the ambulance ride to the hospital" 😂
Hahaha I thought this myself when I was editing but couldn’t bring myself to cut them out 🤣
@@PrimeVsPrimeThe EXCITEMENT is contagious, I'm glad I got to see this reviewed before he's properly released in the US! Keep it up!
Would love to see takara release more mainline figures like this!
Love the gimmicks and the articulation, the Bumblebee movie Legendary Optimus Prime was great and this one doesn't dissapoint.
Glad to see that takara Tomy still continues the quality and dedication to figures their designing unlike some Hasbro figures😒
LOVE THE APE MODE🔥🔥🔥
Me too! It’s so cool! 🦍
The Studio Series looks SO much better IMO. Great video AS ALWAYS!!!! Thanks!
There absolutely needs to be more of stuff like the alternating mask face with future Optimus Prime figures, it doesnt seem to hard to do either unless its like a voyager figure
I’m getting this boy in a couple days, I can’t wait!
Ah I hope you like it!
8:27 that's scourge not unicron
I am liking what I see in this video. I'm also getting to this Optimus primal.
I thought it was the studio series Optimus primal, but this one looks 🔥

This is the modern version of the 2009 Leader Class Optimus Prime
Shed ton of gimmicks! love it!!!!
0:41 Dope movie accurate shot🔥🔥🔥
Haha thank you! 🔥

Makes me wish we could get a Scourge like this
Same!

The ss version is for nicer looking and more accurate and this one if just the one that’s meant to be fun and played around with
He’s basically a better version of the kingdom one
I mean they don’t share anything so weird comparison, I’d compare it to the Roth voyager
Have him pre-ordered. Can’t wait to have him. Imo, he looks better than the Hasbro SS. Stupid question: I thought Hasbro and Takara Tomy had merged. Why are they back putting different versions of same figures like before the merge? I always bought and thought Takara Tomy versions/products to be far superior.
Sweet review! What about the beast alliance weaponizer 2-pack Arcee and cheetor? Love to see a review of that!
It looks like Studio Series Optimus Primal!!!😊❤🥹🦍🤖
Studio series is way better
Haha not as detailed but still very good!
Great review! Funny how everyone was expecting the SS figure lol, and man is he huge!
Thanks so much! Hopefully soon!
You should do a interview with me and the children of primus
Can't wait for SS Optimus Primal that thing looks so good. Some of the accessories you can use for other SS figures like the chain for Battletrap's mase.
I’m excited for the axe for SS Prime!
Where to purchase?
Been meaning to find a recent video, but what sort of stands to you use for posing?
Well, I guess we will see the review for Studio Series Primal in October.
Most likely sooner
@@HardHeadtfreviews2008 Hmm, you have a point. SS Rhinox is supposed to be released to the public in October, but PrimeVsPrime reviewed him last month I believe.
Look like you came straight off the screen man this thing is absolutely phenomenal
7:22 he somehow roasted hasbro in the nicest way possible
I love this so much. It reminded me of Transformers animated toy line. Its so accurate yet its great for fun and playability.
Im trying to find where you can get those effect parts.. but can't seem to find it online, could you tell me how'd/where you got them?
5:17 Bro! Took me back to that scene in the movie Misery 😂😂😂
The BEST primal so far, even surpass the upcoming SS version which has few design drawbacks and proportion issues.
Have you preorders the bumblebee movie Arcee Threezero figure dlx or do you alredly have it through the p.o? cause last week Justin’s Collection already made a review video for the figure
Again a new vid great ❤👍
Thanks so much!
Hey guys, do you think this is better than the studio series version?
Awesome review PvP! Great idea in making this into an Apelinq figure!
Thanks for the review but can it hold the beast battle masters in its hand?
Hey PrimeVsPrime! I was just wondering what you think the best mainline toy line for any movie was?
ARTICULATED FINGERS?!?! Takara.. now your just asking for my wallet….😂
They know what makes us tick haha 🤣🤩
Yes, they only say 'maximize' transforming to robot form. They say 'beast mode' transforming back to animal form!
If anybody wants to get this from like Amazon put awakening Optimus primal dont put leader class.
0:04 The Whole Maximal gang is in the house!!!🦅🦍🐆🦏🤖
Clean finger transition 5:56
Also that Unicron figure looks sick 8:28
8:28 that’s scourge not unicron
@Subzeroedits2023 I think he thought it was Unicron because primevsprime said Unicron instead of Scourge.
I just watched to movie and I’m totally stoked for the next one. I really don’t understand why people said it wasn’t good.
PrimeVsPrime, thank you for finally tackling this, I've been waiting a while for your review on this guy. This makes me definitely glad I preordered this guy on BBTS.
The only things I don't like is the gorilla head cut in half and hollow and that the holes for the weaponizer protrude so much from the arms
but it doesn't prevent you from enjoying the figure at all, it's incredible
You should review the Nova Forget Scourge upgrade kit
Very glad they brought back the missile firing gimmick WHICH I DEARLY MISS!
Since I found your channel I like your reviews way more than EMGO.
This is the best movie transformers figure I've ever seen bar none. Thank you for sharing
5:35 such a clean transition...
Haha looool! 🤣
how I have missed this I thought it was Studio Series. from where I can get it?
Also worth mentioning it has a full plastic display not like now days studio series packaging
I want to see this mold reused for the G1 Decepticon Ape. Apeface was it?
That’s a beautiful head sculpt
DNA Design just announced an upgrade kit for this figure to turn him into Apelinq.
I'm sold where do I get one?
the articulation is really impressive despite this not being a studio series or some 3rd party figure
Hey PVP, just wondering if you have studio series primal ir mirage yet. If so, if you don't mind when can we expect a review?
Hey mate! I don’t have those yet I’m afraid
@@PrimeVsPrime alright, thanks. Have a good day
While I do think I prefer the look of the SS figure I gotta say this looks epic. Love how he has gimmicks without sacrificing the articulation. Cheaper than I thought too.
Love that sound effects...Bang...Bang...then missiles projectiles BANG!
Always Takara...from 2007 TF movies... always Takara almost makes it perfect 😁♥️
I’m really hoping for SS FOC grimlock and he has to be a large leader class, like bigger or the same size as the SS07 grimlock up to his horn and the other dinobots are large voyagers
20:55. Who is the reddish orange sword on his left forearm?
Would you recommend buying figures from zavvi?
A great throwback to the original Beast Wars Primal with all the fun gimmicks. You should do a Top RotB Primal Robot Modes and Beast Modes video once the SS is out.
That’s a very good idea! 🔥
good job about ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIMAL Exclusive Action Figure from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 2023
nice dude!!!
Amazing engineering and details!
The face swap in robot mode is soooo cool
Damn, if I hadn't already preordered the SS version before finding out about this one I think I might have gotten it instead, I love the gimmicks, colors and articulated hands on this one.
I caught them,Tamara just followed what 3rd company love to do.
Whats better ss or this one
SO SICK!!!
Agreed! 🔥
I need this figure, NOW!
Hi prime, can you post a comparison shot with any one of the 2007-2010 leader classes, maybe in your IG? Thank you so much
Prime vs Prime you should have a cameo with emgo
It's a pickup for definite
Nuclear cheetor
Yeah. Optimus Primal is awesome!
I can’t wait for his studio series version to come
Is he out in stores now? Walmart? Toys R Us?
Like the colors more on this one, but prefer the sculp, details and accuracy of the Hasbro studio series for sure.
Are you gonna post the dreadwing review soon?
Yesss!
I love how he says “ass” in almost every video now haha
