Who are these primals?? I don't remeber ever seeing the red one in the back?? whats is the variation count on him anyways?? i've never seen the Clear one before?? is there a lucky draw variant color too??

I know of these ones only:

Robot Masters Optimus Primal
Original Optimus Primal
10 Anniversary Reissue Robot Masters Optimus Primal
10 Anniversary Reissue/Reborn 2 Pack optimus Primal
Burning Optimus primal Robot Masters
Transformers universe Optimus primal
Denki hobby Black optimus Primal Repaint

Cybertron, kinda stays in his own version as well as the reimagined Optimus primal..

I'm talking about original and Robot Masters Variations how many are there??

who is who in this picture..???

http://www.tfkenkon.com/g/?mode=view&al ... 00&start=0 has all the RM repaints, i think.

And all I know is top left is Universe Primal.

OK Primel takes the prise for the most diferent reuses of one mold.

i don't recall Primal having the open up gun on his right hand. I think those are the Japanese releases on Remy's site.

I think all of those are repaints. I know the red monkey is the burning convoy or something like that.

It's not on his hand, it is his hand.

It's an original mold, not sure what variation, but when you flick the latch, the forearm and hand flaps away revealing the gun. It's not show accurate at all in that regard.

Ahhh... so the one in the top on the far right is a knockoff!!!! whoa didn't see that one coming.. i must have all versions of Primal!! i must i must.. except the originals, I was never fond of the open chest cavity and head sculpt design.. I love the RM versions though and the rereleases.. ahhh its a good time to be a BW fan!!!

anyone know where I can buy that knock off??

I've always been under the impression that the multi-colored one was a proto of sorts. Is there proof of the alleged KO? Not being a smartass. I'm genuinely curious.
Oh, and just a general FYI, all those Primals have the same hidden gun/missile launcher in their left arms. The other arm is where the mace is stored when not in use.

You might find the KO here:

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. I think the top right one is a prototype. He looks too plain and his colors are just too all over the place to be a KO.
