While it's a great effort & a nice robot mode, I feel it cheapens the whole Masterpiece line with an alt mode that is far from convincing. The Masterpiece line should be the be-all, end-all definitive figure for a character... While this figure may fill that role for now, it will clearly need re-engineering in the future to better hide the robot bits in beast mode. Because of this, I feel it really doesn't qualify as a Masterpiece.

I'd also say that the already released MP figures aren't perfectly accurate eiter, taking liberties in bot mode, alt mode, or both.
In that sense, Primal is just as much a Masterpiece as the other ones.

First reaction is, this cartoon accuracy rampage is driving me nuts. The ape mode looks bad. He's an animal, not a computer model from 1994. He should have fur! Not this smooth CG rendered finish.
The bot mode looks great though! I will anxiously await more information.
