I was just about to post this. 
It's apparently Optimus Primal. Go figure.

Man, I wish this stuff would be the show! It probably won't be, but I wish it would.

Bumblebee's alt mode is essentially a copy of the Dodge Tomahawk, which I think works well as a TF alt mode.

What?! Optimus Primal?! Who turns into a T-rex/construction vehicle fusion thing?! That's so crazy that it works for me.

I have avoided the rescue bots til now, but I don't think I can resist something that fun and goofy.

Wait. I can't see where this says "Optimus Primal". Where does it say that?

So wait, if Optimus Prime's new alt is the monster truck, and this T-rex-puppeteering-Primal fellow becomes a new character by default, could this somehow lead to an Optimus Primal voiced by David Kaye?!? The mind boggles...
While it is possible for them to be depicted an triple- or quad-changers on the show, Heatwave becoming a fire-boat implies to me that the fire-fightin' sauropod isn't Heatwave because Griffin Rock would still need something to fight terrestrial fires. Of course, he could just walk everywhere in robot mode.

Where is this "Primal" name coming from? All I see is "Prime" written on that tiny packaging:

Okay, is it weird I actually want to see that concept art of Bumblebee turned into a GEN toy?
Also that Optimus is surprisingly cool looking, I would buy that.

These are neat, but if I were Bandai, I'd consider suing Hasbro for that Optimus design. That T-Rex look and transformation is rather close to what Kyoryuger's main mecha looks like.

Well, good thing you're not Bandai.
But yeah, I can see the similarities, but they're subtle. I doubt Bandai would have any grounds for a case. Plus, Gabutyra's head and tail can't become arms.

If I see the primal toy in a store I probably would buy it. Most likely the One and only rescue bot I would buy

The pic makes it look like it is just Optimus Prime due to the color scheme and face, but I wanted to double check first.

Nice! I´m a huge Beast Wars fan but I feel like the mere existence of the franchize has kept Hasbro from giving beast modes to their characters. To me it´s cool that the Rescue Bots team sat down and thought "if Optimus Prime was a Dinosaur, what kind of Dinosaur would he be?".

Well, the old "Hearts of Steel" comic had Optimus be a Brachiosaurus before scanning his locomotive altmode.Janus Prime wrote:Nice!

All it said was 'Optimus Primal', no additional information other than the artwork we also have here. Looks like a pretty cool, chunky, simple toy though!
