Transformers Masterpiece MP-32 Optimus Primal Reissue to Come With Commemorative Coin

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!
