something i am noticing with the beastwars netflix repaints is that they seem to be going for more beast mode display side of things, while the retail release is for robot mode display. seen with ratrap's and cheetor having colors on their legs that match their fur more and optimus primal having fur on his hands making ape mode stand out more.
Just scored this figure for $17 at my local Ross. I'm not big into the Beast Wars animal figures but I couldn't beat that deal. Primal really does look good in his bot form. Love the paint.
I’ve seen this figure like 8 times at different Ross stores in the past month, now I’m regretting not picking it up. Hopefully I can find him and it’s not too late
Me personally I like the more metallic blue on the head the Netflix Primal, but it's just so dark and doesn't stand out or pop because it's just so saturated (the black is good). Same with Rattrap the normal orange color doesn't match with the dark grey. It stands out and not in a good way.
Keep in mind, if you missed Primal/Rattrap earlier, or got into the brand because of the Netflix show, this will be the one you get. It's for the newer fans. The die hards got them in wave 1
Inside the buttflap of the Optimus Primal figure, there is two vent-like thing sculpted and I think it's supposed to be the Jetpack (Or at least I use it that way on my figure)
Yeah for the beast wars characters I think I'll only be getting the netflix line it looks a little better then the main line. I just hope they do a airazor and rhinox somewhere down the line.
Yeah Rhinox just got revealed so it’s inevitable. Also I’m only getting the Netflix figures because I am getting all of the kingdom figures they are freaking amazing I am also customising the manline versions my primal has blue gorilla skin my Dinobot has stripes and Cheetor has darker blue and gold
@@PrimeVsPrime the jury is still out on this for me. out here hobby shops are selling the set for usd$60, i mean... am i willing to pay an extra $10 or $15 for repaints??!!!
Just bought this figure from Walmart as part of their Black Friday deals. Only about $30 compared to them separately. Didn’t even noticed the color difference lol
Price-wise, the set is the same as the two individual figures would be if purchased at regular Walmart prices. Funny enough the Netflix deluxes are still at the sale price (like one dollar and change less) while Kingdom is back to the $20 price. I guess it makes sense to get more Primals out since most Walmarts only got wave 1 voyagers once and have got a bunch of wave 2 (seeing lots of Dinobots but Inferno is usually gone).
.... God dammit.. I just legit bought the OG version from the Kingdom Line.. I hate repaints and though I am kinda happy we are getting them looking like their og counter parts.. I honestly would like to save some fucking money! xD Dammit Hasbro!
I'll pass on this. I already have the MP Primal, so a BW accurate color scheme isn't needed for me. I also like the Kingdom Ratrap's color scheme more.
You know if they had actually added some of the missing paint apps especially on Rattrap it might have been worth it. Easy pass for me, as I own both of them. But if I didn't own them and had missed out on the first release it's not a bad thing. It seems like figures have a release period of like a few weeks before a new wave replaces them. For example, I never saw SS38 in the stores so re-release would have actually been nice for something like that.
I actually just got this set today and was a random find, I've been trying to get prime and tron so this is a great find. I'm having issues with Rattraps transformation and so issues with primes legs so I'm hoping this video will help.
Definitely a hard pass, and I don't even have Kingdom Primal. If they had given him 2 Battlemasters instead I'd be all in. Smashdown never got a repaint. Imagine how awesome Optimus Primal would have been with 2 huge hammers!
I agree, Wave 1 Rattrap is Better, but since I'm gonna get the Netflix Primal I'm gonna swap the Arms and Head on the Wave 1 Version with the Arms and Head of the Netflix Version, then the Wave one Body with the Netflix Head and Arms I'm gonna set to the Side.
Just like in the 90s, we had normal releases, fox kids versions and Walmart versions. I’ll definitely be picking up this set just for completion reasons.
It'd be worth it for me if they gave the beast modes the cartoony stylized look of Beast Wars over the "realistic" molded in detail of Kingdom. But that would have required retooling, which isn't cheap.
Not gonna lie, this would’ve been better as a Packrat and Universe Primal pack. Two colors schemes that would’ve been very easy to do then releasing them in paint jobs way too close to the kingdom counterparts.
I agree, but pretty sure will get those in generations selects line. The universe Optimus Primal was officially repurposed as shattered glass Optimus Primal. So might be labeled as shattered glass.
Are you going to be releasing the sparkless seeker? And if you could get another mold in the rusticon colours, (other than sideswipe) which one would you pick?
I actually just got this today and I will say I Love the Primal I personally like this version over the Kingdom version. Though I prefer the Kingdom Ratrap over the two pack I think the brighter robot mode is much better, but I do prefer the two pack Ratraps Rat mode for its darker tone same with the guns
Great review as always.. You've stepped up your production game... I don't have Primal and Rattrap yet... This is very tempting... Oh and judging by Hasbro's trend in the past years.. I feel like we're going to have a rehash of BW Megatron and Dinobot.. Hmmm....
This ratrap doesn't look gray to me it looks tanish not does it look like it has purple on it.. it's funny because in design when we are determining gray we are looking for any red blue or green that we can notice with the naked eye.... Primevsprime must have that naked eye that picks out the red blue green in neutral colors... It's neat to know that because sometimes I have wondered if primevsprime had different color variations based on descriptions of figures.... But now I know
I definitely would have gotten these if they were colored like the original toys. Unlike Cheetor, the colors, in my opinion, are so insignificantly different that there's really no reason to get one of you already have the other. If it also included the battle mask or even a different head with a closed mouth that might have added more incentive.
I hate you now. When you mentioned the hip part looking like sid from ice age, I cant unsee it. I am traumatized and now will suffer for eternity. Apart from that, superb review!
When Maximals change to their alternate mode, it should be called "BEAST MODE" but when they're about to change to their robot mode then yes absolutely they said "MAXIMIZE"
@@SwedishSeacon i hate it so much. I want to get the figure but am worried about that. I wish they would have made it a seperate piece molded of the actual color
I don’t have a kingdom primal or rat trap and I like the paint on this so I’ll probably get this and I saw Luis at a Walmart bought the seeker went back for it and it was gone but Hasbro has new stock
If anything im just hoping for a netflix megatron I missed him at my target they got 2 in and have not restocked yet so hope fully they will rerelease him for the netflix line
ozzy oh I feel you. But more Netflix figures are probably not coming, since Kingdom is the last season. Beast Megatron is still available on Hasbro Pulse and Best Buy’s website by the way. Shipping should be free for both.
hm honestly not too sure about these lads if you didn’t get the chance to get them before, this’ll be great, but other than that, they seem a bit _too_ similar. i’m guessing the whole battle damage thing is a lot harder to do on beastmodes. Maybe that’s a good thing though.
Would you guys say that this is a better deal if I were to get these instead of buying them separately? I mean cause now individual rattrap and primal are going for almost double for what I can find online but I can get this 2 pack for half
On my figure, I saw a black dot on my wave 1 Primal's left bicep, which I also noticed here. Is it a coincidence and you had a paint chip similar to mine, or do all decos of this mold have a paint leak there?
yeah most of this wave is a miss for me. i picked up the Dessius Drone and i may pick up the sparkeless drone and maybe the seeker but the rest of it... i'll pass. Good review though.
I remember the "truck not monkey" days. Primal didn't get the love he deserved back than.

Yes yes very good catch that makes sense!
I mean for someone like me this is perfect since I don’t have either Optimus Primal or Rattrap so I’m definitely not complaining about this release.
Exactly! Hope you like them =)
Netflix Cheetor was a must-have, but I’ll most likely skip out on this one. That yellow-ish white on Optimus is pretty off-putting to me.
It’s mostly meant to have an off-white color like the original beast wars figure

I don't think it would have killed them to give Primal red hips like in BW.
Well that’s just prime

My custom original was able to capture that. I posted a video on my channel in case you want to see
When transforming to beast mode they say “beast mode” not “maximize” (Depth Charge mixes this up once or twice in season 3)
If I didn’t have both primal and Rattrap normally I’d be down to get this
Same. 😕

4:27 And remember to stay tuned for the newly released Manny the Mamooth figure!
Keep in mind, if you missed Primal/Rattrap earlier, or got into the brand because of the Netflix show, this will be the one you get. It's for the newer fans. The die hards got them in wave 1
It would be fun to see a video of all your re-released figures!
Inside the buttflap of the Optimus Primal figure, there is two vent-like thing sculpted and I think it's supposed to be the Jetpack (Or at least I use it that way on my figure)
I like the paint on the ape chest of the netflix version but by not painting the sides of the chest the same it looks off-color and jarring to me.
primal has the best color among these netflix figures so far. it looks like a grounded and real animal. also the robot mode is more serious now.
I skipped on these and ordered some online accessories instead, like:
-Bdt09 gut gun for cheetor
- Bdt08 mace for Optimus Primal
You can find upgrade kits on eBay. You can get a jetpack, gap fillers, longer and more accurate barrel cannons for his arm cannons.
They don’t say maximize when they transform into beasts. They say beast mode.
Yeah for the beast wars characters I think I'll only be getting the netflix line it looks a little better then the main line. I just hope they do a airazor and rhinox somewhere down the line.
I feel like if this mold had the Prime mask, I’d get this one, as well...
I hope they do a netflix Rhinox. Also I just checked and Shockwave is not on the regular kingdom pakaging.
