Interestingly enough, while Primal will be a big part of the ROTB toyline and there are ROTB Titan Changers coming, this particular toy is not from that line. So we will get more of these soon, but looking more like their movie counterparts.

That Primal looks like a satyr with his thin proportion and his... HOOVES.
Only a set of horns is missing to complete the look.

Why do all the tit!n changers look like simplified cyberverse warrior class that was then upscale into a Voyager no changes, and stretched until it was leader height?
Primal is so skinnyIm sure his alt mode looks like a literal monkey

Because both are based on the Evergreen designs.

Literal waste of plastic. Scores one less for the environment.
Unless it's one hundred percent recyclable..and then it is just a literal waste of time.

For YOU, maybe.
But for a little kid whose parents don't have much money for toys, it's perfect.

Agreed, I've seen this line move off shelves in the bargain shop near me. I'd say Hasbro succeeded in making a budget line

I'm sure the little kid would sacrifice leader size and skinny proportions for some elbow and knee bends.

You'd be surprised. Kids love those massive 5 poa (points of articulation) action figures. After all kids in the 80s did without toys with knees or elbows (unless transformation called for it)

I'll also add that they keep making those "Shampoo bottle" giant cheap figures of Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers. They keep making them because they keep selling them.
As a small kid, I never liked "overarticulated" figures that end up like "spaghetti monsters" and I rather just go WHAM BAM BOOM!
May I also point out that one of the more popular toy line ever in the world that still going strong to these days are Playmobil. No knees, no elbows, same style since 1975.
BTW, my earliest memories of an "action figure" are these little guys:
No limbs at all!

Maybe some of you have see them in stores, but Hasbro has a line of Transformers toys aimed at people who want an affordable larger Transformer. This is the Titan Changer line under the Authentics umbrella and so far we have had G1 mainstays like Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, ect. But now, we have our first Beast Wars character too, Optimus Primal. We had the images of the bot mode but now we can see the alt mode and more importantly we see the Evergreen beast mode design they are basing this toy on thanks to images from The Entertainer website. While obviously aimed at families on a budget, I'd advise against knocking on these as they do the job fine for kids interested in larger figures and are easy to transform back and forth. I speak from experience as a dad of a four year old who plays with these toys. And it's cool to see Primal get that status of reliable sellers within the TF brand, appealing to younger kids (and most importantly their parents buying the toy). We have also put images of the others in the line to show how the proportions are shared across the line.
Interestingly enough, while Primal will be a big part of the ROTB toyline and there are ROTB Titan Changers coming, this particular toy is not from that line so that gorilla image is NOT of the gorilla mode from ROTB.

Skinny Primal is not too bad and that gorilla mode is solid at least.
Makes me want him.

I've never bought any Authentics or Evergreen figures, but it's nice to see Optimus Primal represented in there, I'm happy that the end of Kingdom is not the end of new Beast Wars toys, and the art on the packaging is very nice.
