Even though Optimus Primal isn't really a "Prime," I really enjoyed the Beast Wars series and the fact that he was (at one point) meant to be the actual Optimus Prime. This alone made me decide to collect Primal along with Optimus Prime. As for Big Convoy and Lio Convoy, their close resemblances to Primal and Prime encouraged me to buy them, even if they were never meant to be "alternate universe" versions of either Prime or Primal.

In all fairness, I've heard mixed things about it, especially when it comes to solidity and plastic quality. Tabs breaking and such.

I know it's an unpopular opinion around here but I dont understand how anyone can collect the Transformers brand and not be interested in G1......actually I collect GIJoe but dont have any interest in the original 12", which I consider to be dolls...what with all their cute little pants and such....so I take that back....carry on, although you really should give a G1 Prime a chance he's a wonderful toy.

With all due respect, I am 25 right now and it was Beast Wars that first drew me in to Transformers. I am only now able to watch the original series on Netflix, but I have become so spoiled with toys that have high levels of articulation that I can't see myself buying a G1 toy. Besides, I believe Hasbro's release of MP-10 is a better depiction of the cartoon character. Thanks for your advice nonetheless.
