Description Goal here was to turn Transmetal Primal, which has always been a really great figure, into more of a Masterpiece version. That meant making him much bigger and giving him some of the most important articulation he was missing to modernize the figure to today's standards.

I cut his thighs in half and rebuilt/resculpted them to be over a half inch longer, built onto the bottoms of his feet to make them thicker, added ankle tilts, and gave the ape head ball joint articulation.

I knew from the start I would be limited by how much I could extend things without making him too noticeably inaccurate, considering the figure was already pretty near perfectly screen accurate.
Sadly, in the end, I wasn't able to make him as tall as he should be. He stands just a hair taller than MP Primal now but should technically be probably at least an inch taller...
Regardless of that, hope you guys enjoy checkin it out.

Good. You aren't supposed to, except the new articulation and larger size.

The Transmetal Optimus Primal design is cool, I will say that, and you have made anamazing job customizing this.
It's too bad tho that this design hasn't been revisited by either official or 3rd-party companies other than giving the Other designs a bloody surfboard.
Either way, looks awesome.
