We knew the Hasbro Asia release of MP 32 Optimus Primal would come with a skull mace/flail referencing the accessory from the original toy and we got to see this mace at the Cybertron Con. These phots were found on the Hobbybase Facebook page. You will notice that it is on an actual chain. It makes sense to see this accessory at this particular show since it is only available through Hasbro Asia, and not Takara. While Hasbro Asia releases of Masterpiece toys have been happening for years now, it's interesting to see how Hasbro is really appropriating the Masterpiece line in Asia by having them displayed and revealed at their shows and having the Hasbro logo proudly displayed on the cardboard at the base of the figure. Will you be getting this toy? And if so which release will you be getting, Takara or Hasbro Asia?

He didn't use one in the series. The weapon is from his original 1996 Ultra class toy.

Though we brought you a look at its predecessor, and some shots of the figure in both modes and the packaging, thanks to Dengeki Hobby we have a whole new pictorial review with clear images for Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP32 Optimus Primal/Beast Convoy! What you can find below are details, accessories, packaging, poses, and the series of facial expressions that come with the figure - check them out!

The only time I regret not being able to afford a MP figure. He looks so good. Him and Cheetor both. Kill me if they make a Rhinox.

I really don't like this character/line/figure but I'm sure as hell not missing getting him! The engineering and design, even from just the image....

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

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

How's the arm poseability?

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.

Aww, I too was going to skip BW-MP figures but I can't. Looks like a fun figure.

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).
