Transmetal Optimus Primal
Beast Mode
Nice and cool! There is great detail on the whole figure, giving it a
very robotic look. He's relatively short, and wide! Stands at 5.4
inches(13.5 cm). Body, head and feet are blue metallic chrome, with red
chrome on his shoulders and on the left side of his chest. Rest of the
body is dark purple and ash grey (I think) with a slight hint of
metallic purple. As with all Transmetals, Primal has his name printed
on the right side of his chest. There is a peg on the side of his right
leg to place his robot weapon on, so it becomes a booster of sorts.
His other weapons, the maces, are stored on his back. His rubsign is
on his backpack. He has so-so poseability, his arms being the most
movable in this mode.
Vehicle Mode
This involves pulling down the "skateboard sections" and turning them
to the side. Then connect the connectors and you're done. Looks real
cool, but you have to turn his upper body to face the front, 'cos his
head can't move. It can stand upright but it takes a liitle patience.
The skateboard has wheels and can roll, but not before he topples
halfway!
Robot Mode
He's nice and bulky and stands properly, thanks to his wide feet.
Transformation is simple. The backpack flips round to cover the
metallic body, and reveals a organic body. The skateboard section
forms the shin and feet. Everything 'bout him is nice, except his face
which is very ape-like. Not many people like the new face but I find it
rather cool, considering he's organic on the INSIDE. Colours are the
same, except with added orange on his chest and face. The booster
weapon, when held in his hands, looks like a bull-horn! One mace can
be placed inside and shot out, not by a button, but by pressing down
on the end of the mace sticking out. And it shoots pretty far! The
other mace is held in his hand. In this mode, he has GREAT poseability,
especially at the legs.
