Also, Bodrock, did you ever hear of the titanium Optimal Optimus toy? Its a smaller version of this beast wars toy all in die cast. And its missing one of the modes: the gorila mode. Thats right, the one mode it didnt give on a beast wars toy was the beast mode.
I still have the pdf on my phone to reference for the transformation, Will! I keep monkeying around with the gorilla form. But wow, I can't believe that wasn't his primary mode, and he preferred flight - I never would have guessed.
I've seen the little Titanium Optimal, but had no idea they didn't include the actual beast mode! I wonder what they were thinking exactly with its exclusion....
They were very limited in terms of what they could do with those toys. Since it was all die cast, it was hard to have decent transformations, so having a head that hides away in the body might have been tough, who knows.
And yeah, in the show he only became the gorilla twice. And I dont think we ever see him transform into the gorilla from another mode. I think we see that car mode even less.
