The Rundown: I guess I planned this week of alternating Beastie versions of Megatron and Optimus Primal well, because today’s edition is fairly quick to put together. It’s Optimus Primal as introduced as a regular deluxe figure for 2006’s Cybertron line. Word from the TFwiki is that Optimus Primal was put together with this astetic look so that he could fall into the Cybertron line in case he was not released as an anniversary piece. And though it is not the first time the monkey is brown (see Universe Optimus Primal for that joy), he’s still something very very different.

Really, all I can say is that I actually got this toy pick against a backdrop, and he’s the first loose toy introduced….
