Best Look at MP 31 Beast Convoy (Optimus Primal) in New Video and Still Images

I hope those beast heels can fold up against the legs.


Eh, I was hoping for better on the back of the legs. It looked better from the front. Still, I gues Primal isn't ever going to be mooning on my shelf. And dual cannon in each arm confirmed. That pleases me.

I'm thinking this will be 8,000 yen, what do you guys think?

I dunno, doesn't seem fair to speculate price without seeing how he scales with other figures... He could be the size of mp bb, or the size of mp 10

It would be interesting if they do multiple bw mp's if thy do stick to a congruent scale, b/c megs was much bigger in both modes as compared to primal

This is my motto for the season.

Anyways: It's a hominid turning into a hominid. Not a lot of options for the back legs without shell-forming. And if there's noise about butt-tires, there will definitely be noise about shell-forming.

Not if it's done intelligently (i.e. not like MP 28 ) the only issue is where to store the panelsvand how to maintain articulation - as that was obviously a design priority (thankfully)

Turns out that was quite the tricky angle afterall.

Really? Is there any evidence to that? Because in robot mode, they looked to be about the same size. They are the same height in Beast Mode too, its just that Megs has a very long tail.

I do know for a fact that the show designers made Primal to be the same size as Megatron inorder to reference the King Kong vs Godzilla fight.

Not the best, but it shows that he is substantially bigger than o/p

But I found these, they're pretty interesting:

Number confirmed! MP-31

Although similar prototype at the end of January Figure King had been introduced, here it is also introduced various gimmick like quite in detail, interviews with the development team has also been little published. Number Listings prototype photos 20 sheets . This time, the think that the first appearance information, numbering of gorilla convoy "MP-31" and the points are stated as, height of the robot mode is about 19 ​​centimeters and I think that that has been described as. Release Date, the price remains undecided. For gimmick, because the sword comes with a size to fit the animation becomes large, it can be installed on the back, but storage of the body's impossible.

*edit: about 8 inches tall. So how tall was Bumblebee?

About deluxe size

No, mp primal has to be at least mp datsun sized, it would give them the breathing room they need to make more of the cast.

Yeah, you're right, 19cm, so whatever that translates to in form of scale

That sounds like a great size to me.
I have OG Primal right here on my desk and he measures about 8.5 inches tall. The MP Datsun stands about 6.5 in robot mode. The average Voyager is around 7 in.

It seems he will scale well with the previous Gen Rhinox and Rattrap.
