inch "retro" action figures, ReAction Optimus Primal is a non-converting figure based on his original Mainframe character model, with five points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips). In Japan, Metals Convoy was available both individually and in a "Fateful Showdown" (宿命の対決) two-pack with Metals Megatron. The toys were uniformly on par with contemporary Beast Wars design, as no pre-Beast Wars designs were used.
Faces tended towards the bestial or just straight-up inhuman, even moreso with the first year toys's secondary " Mutant Heads". Released to advertise Beast Wars' airing in Japan, a small, hand-held slide-puzzle depicting Optimus Primal in robot mode, brandishing a sword, one arm cannon deployed, and looking very dynamic. This puts the toy into "flight mode", and it constantly produces the sound of whooshing jets, which then rises and falls depending on how the figure is held. Released before the animated series began, which establishes Optimus Primal as a separate entity from Optimus Prime, the accompanying profiles and mini-comic imply that the Beast Wars are a direct progression of the Autobot/Decepticon war.The big feature— the one that gives the toy its name— is his jetpack, which pops out (with translucent blue jet flames trailing behind) at the push of a button. His main gimmick was light up LED headlights, and a lightpipe in the bottom of his right fist, illuminated by an LED in his right forearm, that would illuminate his clear sword or his double-barreled rifle if they were used in that hand.
Like all Beast Machines toys, he has a hidden " spark crystal" that displays his faction allegiance; Primal's is in his chest, revealed with the spring-loaded "flexing" motion that also moves his beast mode face up for snarling while posing. War for Cybertron Trilogy Optimus Primal is a minor redeco of the Kingdom figure, with the only major differences being show accurate grey feet, lighter eyes in beast mode, and all-around darker colours. In 1995, Laser Optimus Prime was a new Generation 2 mold that transformed into mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The figure makes up for its size with above-average articulation, including butterfly shoulder joints, double-jointed knees, opening hands, rotating shins for a foot point, and toe articulation in both modes.The outer shell of the Matrix core figure is recolored reddish-orange, and the cannons feature additional paint applications. The most permanent solution would be to disassemble the waist and shave down the contacting surfaces. These figures were designed to sit in the various mini-vehicles and control modules of the MicroVerse playsets.
