At the end of series one of beast wars Optimus Primal died. He was blown up along with the Vox Dooms day machine. The energy from that explosion turned them all into transmetals.
In the " Coming of the Fuzors" the Maximals were facing their darkest hour of the Beast wars as they were leaderless and the Predacons outnumbered them and were also transmetal and were out to destroy them. The had two new recruits the Fuzors Silverbolt and Quickstrike.
Rhinox actually went into the matrix because when the Vox machine blew up it opened a window into trans space which Rhinx used to bring Optimus back. Dinobot, Rattrap and Cheetor defended the exillon from the Predicons while he was bringing Optimus back.
Rhinox came back from his stasus and defended the base along with the others. They were all badly damaged by the Predecons.
They found a blank proto form which is a proto form without a spark. This became Optimus Primal. He was also Transmetal as it had been exposed to the blast of the Vox machine. Once in working order he went and blasted all the Predacons and they retreated.
Throughout series 2 he remained the leader, Fighting the Predecons and Megatron were his main things that he did.
He was Transmetal until the beginning of series 3 when Optimus merged his spark with the Matrix of leadership . Optimus Prime had been badly damaged and when Optimus Primal put the matrix into his chest he became Optimal Optimus.
BIO; Changed into a mighty, metal gorilla by a planetary
destruction device, Optimus Primal has a built in rocket powered hover board that
lets him hang ten on the air-waves of the Beast Wars world! Stronger and faster
than ever, he converts to become the huge, organically enhanced Maximal General
loaded with weaponry. Predacons who value their health best avoid any monkey
business with Transmetal Optimus Primal!

FUNCTION; Maximal general
Gorilla mode
On hover board
Prime guns
Robot mode
Optimus Primal is now a blue chrome gorilla. It says Optimus on the side of his chest.
His gorilla face looks pretty fierce.
He is pretty good and you can get him into a knuckle dragging pose like a real gorilla.
He has two struts which can help him stand but he does have gorilla toes which helps anyway. More secure with the struts.
He has good articulation but he cannot bend to beat his chest as his arms are too long.
Weaponry wise he has these clubs which store on his back and he can hold them.
The robot feet are folded up against the back of his legs and can look awkward in some poses as there is no where else for them to go.
Overall a good mode
You can use his robot feet to make a hover board which he used quite a lot in the cartoon.
He is a flying surfing gorilla. Who thought that up?
There are wheels on the hover board and you can wheel him along if you can get him to balance.
His gun becomes an afterburner in this mode.
His transformation is pretty clever and fun. The gorilla modes backpack becomes his robot modes chest.
His back pack in either mode covers up the other modes chest.
In robot mode he is pretty good. He has a different head and has gained in height.
The gorilla feet are now his knee guards.
There are also new hands.
You can still use the clubs and his gun.
The clubs can still store on his back and the gun stores on his leg in any mode.
The gun looks like a hair dryer which is pretty funny.
You can put the club in the gun to fire from . There is a spring in there but you fire it like a pressure launch missile. So it is a cross between a spring launch and pressure launch.
I don't like the look of the club in the launcher so I don't use it.
If anything his robot mode chest looks more like a gorilla chest than the actual one with hair mold.
His face is like his gorilla face but a bit like Optimus Prime with head Crest, antennae and with organic hair and fa. A techno organic look.
He does have one more mode where he folds his pack back over with the clubs attached to it and he gets a mobile gun emplacement. These are called the Prime Guns. the handles of the clubs become the cannons.
It a shame that he does not have the targeting scanner that he had in the cartoon.
I still like the mode though.
In robot mode the screws are visible on his shoulders but this is a not pick.
In robot mode he is gritting his teeth like he is constipated or something.
I highly recommend him . All his modes are solid and transformation is fun .
Good figure all the way through.
