Well, the old "Hearts of Steel" comic had Optimus be a Brachiosaurus before scanning his locomotive altmode. ;)

Va'al got a peek at these at Toy Fair, he confirmed the name.
And it is just Optimus Prime but with a new name, correct?


That I couldn't tell you, Va'al might have some additional insight.
Thanks.

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.


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!
