Beast Machines, on the other hand, was an absolutely horrific design. His face, his oversized arms, were just ugh. And the fact that Beast Machines absolutely butchered his character doesn't help at all.
Yeah. Primal went from a makeshift leader to a very unique Prime to a (insert disgusted sarcasm) spiritual, weird, humanoid-looking, rebel-alliance type figure.
However, Optimal Optimus was a good idea. To me, he was worthy of being called a Prime later on and had this blend of his own personality along with Optimus Prime's that really went well together.
Also, Transmetals' beast modes became more tactical if anything, as the Energon became highly stable, and[/i those modes assisted in ways such as convenience of size or using their noses to track certain objectives. It was also a way to appeal to those who preferred Truk over Munkey.
I always fancied Furry, Robot-Batman!
Uh... I meant the BW Cartoo-- oh never mind.
Furry Ro-Bat Prime VS Crotch-Munch MegaCroc: Dawn of Beastiality
Is the epic live action movie of my dreams
Indeed it is. WITH A SPECIAL STAN LEE CAMEO along with God Ginrai
All the others where a little on the ugly side except for the Optimal Optimus mode, and I totally can’t stand what Machinima did with the character!
They could have made him so much better, instead of just the guard of the requiem blaster that had never seen the outside of Cybertron!!
I mean come on, what happened to his mission with the maximals on the axelon!
Of how he saved all of time and space!
I have to say it again, they could have made him so much better!
The Machinima series was ok, but I really hope they do a lot better with the WFC-S, as the PWT was so my least favorite cartoon series
Wot?
WOT?
So in depth, yet no mention of Primal's SIZE?
Monkeymus is supposed to FIT in G1 Prime's cabin!
Yet there he is, punching Megatronus, all while being the SAME SIZE AS GRIMLOCK.
EVEN THE DANG POTP OPTIMAL TOY MADE HIM SMALL
Different continuity, different rules.
And I have to agree @magnusprime777 they really messed up his character. Optimus primal is supposed to be a bit that is more down to Earth than most Prime's (or in this case down to Cybertron). He cracks jokes, does smart-alec remarks, and sometimes just wings it. In POTP, he was just a dull character that could've been anyone because of how dull he is.
Anything Hopkins: You see, Cade, Quintessons were a robotic race of rapists. They impregnated mountain gorillas, alas only one reached full term. He was to lead the others riding atop an undersized, purple tyrannosaur. To fight for our brave American troops.
But Hitler.
*cue Linkin Park song*
Hitler and Osama bin Laden corrupted the brave, magenta dinosaur. He no longer allowed the oppression that is being ridden.
*cut to American flag, drenched in Bud Lite*
Did i mention Israel?
*EXPLOSIONS*
Can you imagine what Bay would've done if he got his hands on Blackarchnia? My god.
Michael Bay's deep thoughts:
Clearly voiced by Lil Kim, and is a robo-hooker intent on infecting humans with the hate plague.
To the gonads.
And she wears a Burqa.
Coz Bay NEEDS TO OFFEND.
After seeing your analysis, I have to agree. I had liked him at first, but only because of the merchandise. When Primal was announced as the next Prime, I was STOKED. It seemed predictable, but it was exciting because (for me) Optimal Optimus would be coming at a more affordable price as well as having Optimus Primal. HOWEVER Making Primal become nothing more than a backpack was disappointing.
Also @BlackRazak, he was punching out Rodimus Cron, who was basically the same size, so, no difference. He was also slightly taller than Grimlock.
Backpack?
Everyone knows CROSSBODY bags are IN.
Optimal Optimus is slavenly sticking to the 90s.
Machinima/Kabam:
Let's get Beast Wars fighting the G1 Bots, that would be pure badassery!
Reality:
Forged to STOMP
TBF, Hasbro started it!
Starscream:
Shut up, Skywarp!
Wheeljack:
They see me Rollin', they hate it....
Prime:
Worse driver EVER
Megatron:
Devastator! Sit up front! Soundwave, you've been terrible, you sit in the back!
And @ScarredArachnid333 Yes I totally agree with you on that one!
