Optimus Primal Announced as Winner of "Power of the Primes" Fan Vote #TFNY #Hasbrotoyfair

Awww. I wanted a new Deaths-R-Us toy. Still, Beast Wars love is always good. I just hope his new toy looks good.

Surprising no one, it's also the only figure they gave an IDW related backstory to.

I assume this just means they will bring his Masterpiece over for a US release. Besides Deathsaurus the 3 finalists all conveniently had recent masterpiece versions not released stateside yet.

That's just Prime.

Ahh. so the gorilla won the fan vote, this will do nicely yeeessssss, I can see how this will go, we should of expected it after the Hall of fame winners being Beast wars allumini, noooooo it would be foolish to expect any other result like i did,

Frankly, that's the most joy I've taken from this result. Time may prove otherwise, but this is a very boring outcome.

Try... Maximal Prime!

I swear after seeing the matrix like design in his Air attack Optimus primal body, I thought he had the matrix of leadership already

...? In Primal's major fictional appearances, he's always been portrayed as a good person and in Beast Machines even seemed to ascend to the centerpoint of moral integrity. I really don't think there's cause for concern that he'll be a bad guy.

Remember what happened to poor Star Saber though. Taken from a pure and noble Autobot leader (and surrogate dad!) to a religious nut.

I think they were referring to how he was in the "Chaos" category. But I didn't that as him being evil more like he's got a few screws lose, in a good way. But they can make him plenty cooky, that was one of the main draws for me.

Edit: dang I got ninja'd by Dmax.
