Description
Transmetal Optimal Optimus was the first toy in the Super size class, featuring electronics and four transformations: robot, ape, jet, and armored transport. When a back section of the cannon module was pulled, the eyes and shoulder-mounted missile launchers lit up and the launchers fired. It came with four missiles, two of which stored on its legs. Its forearms featured blast-away armor plates that could also be pegged to its upper arms. His cockpit perfectly fits a MicroVerse figure in the seat.

Optimal Optimus's on-package bio states that he has Cybertronian "air guardian" technology and twin scramjet modules. Jetfire 's function was Air Guardian, and his Tech Specs said he had these same scramjet modules.

The European version released in English/Spanish/Italian Beast Wars/Biocombat packaging featured the most bizarre choice for the additional alternate name for the Italian market yet, naming this figure "Optimus Primal" (!). Once again, the other European version released in French/Dutch/German Beast Wars/Ani Mutants packaging was simply named "Optimal Optimus" just like the United States version.

This toy was repurposed as the Beast Wars: Uprising character Optimal . This sculpt was also used to make Primal Prime , with a redesign that had separate triggers for the missile-lighting and missile-launching so users would be less likely to shoot themselves in the eye. This body was also the template for Megatron 's (non-toy) "Optimal" body, seen in "Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future ".

The Japanese version features several deco changes including: a more yellow shade of orange, no blue paint on the helmet in robot mode, and black tires instead of purple. Also, the translucent missiles are molded slightly differently. This changed mold was also used by Primal Prime.
