But I'm looking at this and I'm looking at my 10th anniversary Primal standing on my desk, and I don't see a lot of improvement design-wise. Perhaps once I see the MP figure in a video being transformed it will change my opinion, but so far the differences between the MP and the '06 figure don't justify spending the money on the MP. Like I said, once the final product is available, it may change, but I doubt it.
The problem here might simply be that the Beast Wars figures were at the beginnings of modern Transformers articulation. Most of the figures were very poseable with good articulation. Optimus Primal was a great figure to begin with, especially with the mold changes made 10 (yikes) years ago. I think I'll have a great appreciation of this new Beast Convoy IF they do a Masterpiece Beast Megatron who had a cool toy originally but could use some improvements to get him closer to his animation model.
