The Best Primal We’ve EVER Gotten???? |  

I think Primal is probably the one movie Maximal I really, really like. Doesn't feel right to only have him without the rest of the team (who didn't really hit the mark for me) but I reckon I'll be getting an Apelinq on day one

Interesting observation i`ve made about this. The main line one basically does what Season 1 beastwars optimus primal does and The Studio series figure actually roughly follows the transformation scheme of Transmetal optimus primal, just without the Surf board.

I pre-ordered him. Got him and I'm not disappointed. Awesome figure. Little nitpicks. Marketed as Leader Class but it's actually Voyager the big one. But the accessories you get with it and the engineering, yeah I agree with price point. Awesome figure I rate 9.6 out of 10.

"engineiiring I've never seen before on a Primal" Transmetal Primal :

was on the fence about this guy until I saw him at Target, and I'm so glad I picked him up. so much fun to pose and handle

So am I the only one who realizes the transformation is just a more advanced/ complicated version of Transmetal Primal's? Granted, that had one of the best Primal transformations.

10:59 ThatToyGuy saying that one word alone has meme potential

100% agree, price seems steep but once you get it in hand its so worth it

I had the same tightness issue on the transwarp key. I’m order to split it, twist it around many times until it feels comfortable. I did that and it splits much easier

4:48 I was eating pizza with this video lol

Super on the fence about Primal as Leaders are $75 here in Canada. Bot mode though looks amazing, detailed, articulated, and has a good inclusion of accessories. Height may not exactly be on his side but still looks a lot better value than the SS Scourge which retails for about the same has one arm canon and some compromised articulation.

btw, the key splitting is cool. You can put either half on the chains, and they're spikes. Currently, they reside in ports on my ER prime trailer, and are helping red alert, and artfire try and fix ironhide, as helping hand type deals, while manerva and that speedia 500 lambo cop debrief prowl lol.

I loveee this thing. Ive had it for some time. It woulda hit different with the battle mask tho. And what would have but it over the top for me is if they figured out a way to put an ab crunch but i still love it. Ape mode is really nice too. I also feel like the arms being rotated for the fur to be facing inwards instead of being on the outside was a mistransformation. Cause its literally more accurate for it to be on the outside. Even the front cgi box art shows it that way

Bro knows all the good Neffex songs Also that intro was so good

Your intro for this video was fire, my man. Love to watch the creative growth on your videos. Anyway, yeah this one of my fav Primals ever.

This is what I'd say my choice for best of the year. Also, thanks for the tutorial for pegging in the backpack.

Hmmm. I can't help but think the arms are way over engineered to achieve very little and the legs really needed more more engineering as they look half finished :/

I just managed to find one today in Target! It was on sale too for like $10 off, so I absolutely impulse bought it and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it!

I don't have him yet, but this is how I would've made him a voyager. Give Battletrap the chain, and either give Bumblebee Prime's axe for fun, or just give it to prime. Now Primal just has his swords and the Key. I also would've simplified his leg transformation by hiding the feet better but w/ the base of the one we got. Voyager!

This is wild bc this is the first time I think I got my figure before your video for them came out 😭 a surreal feeling bc I don’t often preorder figures lol

I have always loved your intros

Leaders are so expensive now, that they've taken commander's spot as the once every couple months special treat buy. that being said, if they are less than great, they go back. I just can't afford to accepts any less. That being said too lol, This guy is my Number 1 for 2023, unless something very unexpected pops up. I've got a feel for what's coming out through 24, and I don't think he'll lose his 1 status untul that concept megs next year. He's by far the most poseable figure my chug ass has, and the one I can't put down, having brought in 9 others SINCE him. Yup, if you on the fence, from a broke ass, DO IT!!!

That transition to posing was on another level!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

Love this one, but the Takara one edges out a little bit higher simply because it can actually do the accurate gorilla walk. Gorillas actually walk on their first knuckles, not their fists. The extra hand articulation the Ultimate figure has allows for this pose.

The beginning of your videos are always so cool, and I love your videos as a fellow Canadian

on the thighs were you can plug in the swords, it fits stands with proper stand pegs which makes it a lot easier to pose him and get him into that pose against battle trap in the final battle

Yeah, I have tiny nitpicks about this toy but that's about all the complaints I have. Sweet Primus the studio series line for ROTB just hit it out of the park and Primal is the cream of the crop. I honestly can't keep my hands off of him, he is that good.

4:19 I remembered when Primal said "Get Over Here"

Bro prime telling Noah to let go of his axe even though he could just let go himself

Take a shot every time bro says monke

That is an exceptionally niche and dated Top Gear reference, and I'm here for it all day long. Bravo.

Just got him.... worth it.

I've never really been Into Beast Wars. I'm an Autobot/Decepticon guy. But these ROTB Maximals are awesome! I probably won't pick any up because my little brother absolutely loved Beasts Wars and is trying to get them all while I get all the Autobots. Primal looks amazing 😍 the figure is one of the best Voyager+ Leader class figures I've seen.

Honestly one of my only complaints is the lack of a ab crunch but I’m probably spoiled by gunpla and figuarts. Amazingly fun figure

I still want to see all of these SS beasts as new characters from Beast Planet in a future Hasbro capsule line.

Love your channel ❤

I feel like people think leader is suppose to be big but no the BIG ones are either Commander class or titans class

4:07 definitely the highlight of the vid

It was really cool to see the design language as transmetal primal. Had to transform them together because of loved seeing the generations of primal together

1:43 bless you

I like the Takara cause it’s definitely the most bang for the buck. The price is ridiculous for the studio series should be 39.99 to be honest. Still awesome figure tho

Stay strong brother! 10:58

Primal comes with a transwarp key makes me wish the fallen does come with the prime's key 😅

I hate myself right after hunting for so so long for him I literally lost the transwarp key

Been waiting for this one!

The leg compressing is actually from the MP Primal figure.

I have the Yolopark Optimus Prime, BB, Scourge and Optimus Primal, I’m awaiting Cheetor and Rhinox to me them are more satisfying to display and invest into more

This guy is SUPER solid, tbh, I was not expecting anything amazing from him, just thought he was gonna be cool, but no, this guy is a very SOLID leader even though he's about the size of a Voyager, and comes with a lot of accessories, also nice if you have SS Buzzworthy ROTB Prime.

10:59 ah yes, Optimus primal is most certainly “the breast” lmfao

Hey great video man! Lover your content and your intros/posing is absolutley phenemonal

Peg the chains onto the pegs on the sides of the swords. Put the swords on his back with those pegs facing inwards and the chains look like they're hanging off the backs of his shoulders. Bigger question is where do you put the key?

If the robot mode had a ab crunch it would fix the gorilla posture.

Bro the heels

While I’m happy enough with Optimus, Rhinox, and Novakane, I do wanna get Primal.

Shout Out to this man for single handedly gettig me back into transformers! Subscribe to him if haven't already!

1:43 Bless you.

I use the chains to simulate being chained to his arms

I almost bought this earlier but they had SS Snarl and I grabbed it so I can get near the end of completing the SS Dinobot team with the eagerly awaited SS Swoop so I’m happy I chose Snarl to display with Grimlock, Slag, Sludge but man Optimus Primal would have been a instant buy if I didn’t see Snarl. They only had 1 of each. However I would have given up either and have to wait for a chance to find them or get them online if they had the BB concept Megatron oh I want that figure yessssss

Personally I liked the Takara more. The Gorilla mode look better and while the transformation on the SS is not bad, the Takara transformation is more simplify espcially the legs and no kiddles on it in gorilla mode!

$55 is the perfect price because in my area I paid $95 for this toy

Bro I just got this a few hours before this was uploaded 💀

I got this thing today for Christmas and it is great

4:23 Kratos.

Damn it .... I thought I only needed mirage

SS Optimus Primal is great. I bought two of the Primal battle master cannons for him. If you take the spiked ball from Battletrap and the chain from Primal you can make a big whip for Megatron (I gave it to the Netflix version).

You got this figure one day after me that’s nice😁

1:43 Bless you

When I first saw this figure I was pretty sure it was gonna be a good one, now that I have it I legit can’t stop playing with it, I look at it on my shelf and I turn into Oogway

I really want this studio series figure but idk if I really 100% want to pay $55. I’ll think about it but this is a great review, good scale and paint though 😊

I just got mine in the mail today and I got to say he is amazing!!

i cancelled my pre order on this guy but not because i don't want it, i actually really want this figure so bad, but i just wasn't able to afford him by the time of the figure's release, hoping i can get him soon.

Im not one for beastformers, they usually all feel lazy. This one(and rotb cheetor) are exceptions because they are so poseable and dynamic

i just got this yesterday (july 13 2025) and lemme just say this figure is awesome 😎

He is not my favorite Primal, he's my favorite FIGURE for now, and probably like I said, til that megs drops. I don't really do live action either. I've got maybe 20/25 live aciton figures, so that's not even 10% of my collection, BUT this dude is glorious. I also orient the arms completly reversed in monkey mode, from TTG here. So that the furry big forearms are out front. If you want realism you should also, bend the elbow a little towrds the main body. Like the elbows pushed out in front a little. Watch a gorilla on TNC or something. As he walks off all proudly after throwing poo on a kid behind a gate, his arms are more pushed forward, instead of in towards the body. It looks so good emulating that.

I did intend to get this figure, but as soon as I knew I had Prime on the way that was the moment I ordered it. Definitely a top figure contender, I’m no Beast Wars fan but ROTB got me sold, though I’m not getting Beasts outside of these movies. Agree on the tight connection on the transwarp key, I’m scared to break it too Also with the arms in ape mode, they are also mislabelled (right arm marked as L2)

I got this guy like a month ago he's amazing in my opinion

I love the kingdom primal because it just looks so show accurate in bot mode. Monkey mode is meh. So I was hesitent at first to get the ss one because kingdom primal was my definitive primal to display and I like keeping one version of a character on the shelf. But then I bought it just for the hell of it and wow I dodged a bullet with this one because I love it! I almost missed out on such a great figure and even though I still love the kingdom mold this one is a vast improvement for me.

You don't need to rotate the robot mode hands. Mind came packaged with them for robot mode the right way.

This figure is on my Christmas list and he is so worth the leader class price and if he was a voyager class then he would be small.

Super cool intro ❤❤❤

This is probably the best primal I've ever gotten but I just got my studio series mirage online and good lord Im not transforming him into car mode again if i feel like taking him out of it

If they didn't bother with the chain details, they could've bring those chain joints closer and add more joints on there.

Put ape mask on, squat.

Very enjoyable video

I’m pretty sure Evan said they went with the faceplate because they assumed he’d have that on for most of the movie

IM WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS TO GET THISSSS BC HES SO COOL

An amazing figure that feels so good. Also question what is the music for the first part

Ik I’m late but I just got mine for 19.99 at target today

Not counting the Masterpiece, I would say this is def the best Primal toy. Although I'm still nostalgic to the 1996 toy

i think its about to go down on god

Something to tell... but this primal takes some transformation tricks from the transmetal primal

Big hasn’t been a thing since the beginning of Studio series? Studio Series Blackout and Grimlock would like a word with you.

This is good I like this But why no shorts?

Dang tbh I think gorilla form works with only standing up since that was the design choice😅

you lucky, mine got defect sword from factory and i never got my replacement, otherwise i give this figure 9.5/10

Hey toy guy can you keep using more of that song at 4:30

I agree with this being the best, it is a godly figure and I recommend people to buy it

also, if you have balls enough to do it. The heads pop off easy, and for photos you can put the bot head, on the monkey ball "totally organic i swear lol" and get that looking straight at you position, when he's bent down low. Just put the big head to the side til you're done, and be careful with the camera angle, cuz umm.... dude skipped neck day lol but it's totally worth doing.

Interesting that they took a lot of the transformation from the old Transmetal figure

This is such a solid toy. My friend has him, and I would 100% reccomend it, but sadly I wont buy one at its current price. Too much for me. Not paying $60
