A post in the Premium Collectibles Studio Facebook group (formerly Pop Culture Shock) made by their administrator and owner Ant Adams is giving us our first look an unreleased Optimus Primal statue.
This prototype shows Optimus Primal in dynamic crouching pose holding his blades with a detailed base which features his robot and gorilla face and we can spot Cheetor’s face and Razorbeast warthog head. It’s unclear if this statue will be ever produced or not, but we are sure many Beast Wars fans could be interested in it.
See the image after the break and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Never thought paleotrex would return

KD Primal has arm blasters, but I see your point. I just noticed the statue has what looks like tumors growing on his chest, and some gross organic detailing behind his head.

My 3rd favorite Maximal leader! I don\'t need this.

Now THIS is frikkin' cool. Curious to see who else is represented in the base.

This reminds me of Kingdom Primal. No arm blasters, fur pattern, and the Skelton dino figure he is crouching over.
Not my Primal… IMHO.

Prime 1 will always be superior.

Looks like it was intentionally ruined.

Is that his "fwom the future" face?

Intriguing.

I would have liked to see it finished.
And curious Razorbeast's head.

It's not a "recent" trend. Pop art presentations like this are highly influenced from artistic fantasy works from all the way back in the 80s or so. Think of all the metal album covers, and swords-and-sorcery artworks of Frazetta and Vallejo.

What's with the trend of having the character standing on a corpse/the dead?
Vector Oracle
I think he’s shouting dramatically at whoever he’s looking at right before he attacks them.

It was posted by PCS owner. He mentioned it was never produced.

Primal needs lip surgery.

Is this official, because yeah, those mouth sculpts just aren't good?
