The boxed pic is so tiny I can't make out that first Kanji in his rank. I can tell the rest of it is 司令官 ("Shireikan"), meaning "Commander", but that first Kanji is too small for me to read.

It doesn't look like 総 ("Sō") to me, which is the Kanji in 総司令官 ("Sōshireikan") that means "Supreme Commander", the rank commonly attributed to Autobot and Maximal leaders in Japan.

Wasn't Fortress and Starsaber one of those?

Found a larger look at the box on Dengeki Hobby's website. Turns out it is 総司令官 ("Sōshireikan") after all.

That's an eye catching box.

Did you catch that long dong between his gorrila legs?

Also, just wondering, for those changing their minds and wanting this toy now, where are you planning on getting it?

Good grief,no. Didn't spot that. That's the back of the leg catching the light right????

I get my MP figures from Kapow Toys (just ordered mine).

The collector "gotta have 'em all" metallity kicks in and says to me...

Man, I was content to skip the Beast Wars MP line but these photos make it hard!

Then the voice of reason socks me in the jaw and says...

meh...I'm content with the original BW version. That was a damn good figure.

That will do just fine for me.

WAIT! Burn is the voice of reason?!

[Counterpunch]

I can't wait.

[Cobotron]

@CP - Now that's the alt mode I was hoping for!

Keyword being "was" its no longer good enough, and must be replaced.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Very much looking forward to this guy. Although a dilemma presents itself. Should he go on my MP shelves, or my BW shelves?

That's just the white of his robot mode legs catching the light, thank god. I preordered mine from BBTS. I have the Planet of Junk Platinum set and Takara Windblade in my Pile of Loot, I'm waiting for a couple more things to come in and as soon as Primal is paid for I'll ship the pile out.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I'll be holding off until December to ship my next POL out. But man, this guy makes it very tempting...

Has anyone gotten any ship notification if you preordered from a Japanese seller? The release date was supposed to be October right?

Not yet from amiami.

I didnt get a ship notification. But none of us would, because the toy gets released on the last day of october and you only get a shipping notifiction when its in stock.

[Sabrblade]

Due to massive financial setbacks this year, I haven't been able to preorder this figure at all yet. Is there a place that has him still available for preorder and for a good price?

That makes sense. Where I ordered from just had the release date as October. Didn't know release was on the 31st.

He is still vailable everywhere you would usually get your takara toys. Best price right now would be Amiami's http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail ... URE-018262

That depends on what a good price is for you, and whether or not you want the version with the die-cast mace or not.


Without Mace
BBTS and TFSource have him for $119.99

HLJ is going for $92

Ami Ami: $86


With Mace Have only found him at BBTS and TFsource: $127.99

Everywhere else seems to be sold out.

[Sabrblade]

Is the flail sold separately anywhere at this time?

[Overcracker]

I don't believe it is, no.

[william-james88]

No, it will only be available from chinese sellers on the aftermarket once the item is released.

[william-james88]

I just thought of something, I know Cobo doesnt like this MP Primal because while it is accurate to the CG1 model, it doesnt really represent a real life gorilla. And thats fair, especially when even the original toy had sculpted fur.

BUT by going that way, does that mean that an MP Dinobot should be feathered for it to reflect how those dinosaurs really look like?

[Cobotron]

Don't be cute.

[william-james88]

Don't be cute.

Its ok Cobo, we all have our double standards
