OMG... they made a large version??? I looked at a Commander Class version of it, briefly, last week and that was about the most hideous iteration of Prime I'd ever seen. Hasbro really screwed the pooch with this one. These will shelf-warm worse than any 'Bee figure past, present or future.

They're redecos of last year's Weaponizers, though Bumblebee features retooling on the front of the car, presumably for the speech gimmick.

Screwed the pooch...
Forgot all about that phrase! 
Which is a cleaned up version of the actual Navy term... 
At least talking BB will move, as I can see collectors jumping on its "collector's value!" Although, I'm not sure exactly how collectible Prime toys are in general. They don't seem to move much at the local cons I've gone to.
Green Prime will move as well as the Red one did. Kids aren't really buying TF toys, as far as I can tell, so this subline of giant TFs... just a wasted effort as the market does not seem particularly welcoming right now.
I'm kind of confused as to how they can get that blade on a kid's toy. I get these are robots, but my mind instantly goes to the carnage a blade like that could do to a human body. In other words, isn't it a tad bloody? Or Medieval? It looks like a hacking weapon, and I don't recall seeing many of those on previous TF releases...
Optimus Prime, the butcher of Cybertron!!!!!!

If Bumblebee didn't make any noises, he'd be a buy for me. I really like that Headsculpt and it just really flows with the rest of it a lot better than the mouthless version for some reason.
(Toxitron) Optimus looks... Bad. I'm just gonna say that. Bad.

Good. Now when I'm waving my Optimus around yelling "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!!" I can put this sword from Silent Hill's "Pyramid Head" in his hand. Wugh.
Sarcasm aside, nothing about this butcher shop weapon belongs with the noble optimus prime. Nor does the color. I'm sorely disappointed at the direction Beast Hunters took. I had hopes of Dinobots and Insecticons... but it just went so silly and weird.

Gosh, Hasbro. You always make terrible weaponizers. All the biggies in the last five years (Excluding Beast Fire Predaking) have been terrible.
And Hasbro was too lazy too make a show accurate weaponizer, even the ultimate beast hunters Opimus Prime looks better than this.

I really like the look of Bumblebee but if thats the last Optimus from the Beast Hunters line I'm quite upset that we wont get that mini gun he used in season 3

Yeah, it blows my mind how hard it is to get an Optimus and Megatron in scale.
