Yeah, the 10th Anniversary Deluxe is a neat figure, though, chronologically-speaking, that toy is Primal's seventh body.

Oh I was referring to this one.

Transformers Beast Wars Reborn Optimus Primal (Convoy) (Reissue) Gallery
Or more accurately the TRU exclusive Hasbro release.

Ah, gotcha.

It's certainly no mistake that the only Rogue Megatron I have is MegaHead -- but I honestly had no idea the toy existed in its true colors until my good pal Shaj enlightened me, and helped me hunt the figure down.

MegaHead was absolutely my favorite thing in Beast Machines, so I had to have him. I'd say the only reason I won't have a Beast Megatron to face-off against MP32 is....I could never decide on the version to get.

Since Beast Megatron keeps coming up here's the original artical and the quote from a design team member:

Regarding the Beast Wars "Masterpiece" figures, I felt our first goal was to get to Dinobot, and now the next goal is (Beast Wars) Megatron, so I would like to do my best for that one.

This was back in November so some good progress should have been made by now.

Up until now, the reissue of MP-32 Optimus Primal has received very little attention from fans, but now there's at least one item of interest related to the upcoming toy. For the first time, the MP-32 mold will be receiving a commemorative coin with its release, in the same vein as many other Masterpiece figures to date.

A photo from site sponsor The Chosen Prime, as shared by Planet Iacon on Facebook, shows the coin's packaging which is designed after Optimus Primal's chest - again, as Masterpiece coin packaging tends to be - though no images have yet surfaced of the coin itself. Previous releases of MP-32 included either a mace as an exclusive, or in MP-38's case a bunch of bananas, so this is the first time the coin will see the light of day!

This is also a good time to mention a related piece of news that has slipped by for quite a while. It appears the MP-34 Masterpiece Cheetor was also designed to come with a commemorative coin, though it was presumably scrapped in favor of the die-cast miniature Optimus Primal. Fellow Seibertronian shajaki shared some images of the coin that never was, as did TF Factory on Weibo.

Check out the images of both below, and share your thoughts in the Energon Pub Forums! And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news, no matter how new or old it may be!

Neat. However,

Is incorrect. The bananas were just plastic. Pretty lame in hand actually

Oops! Fixed, thanks

Anyone know how to pop off the robot mode chest OR remove the arms on Masterpiece MP-32 Beast Optimus Primal? I either want to swap the chest out between two or swap the arms (though I really just want to swap his shoulder pads, but can't because of the pin on the backside of the shoulder pads). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Afraid I can't help with that..

Is there a size comparison of him with MP-01 yet?
