	:Part of [[Threezero]]'s ''Rise of the Beasts'' lineup, DLX Optimus Primal is a screen-accurate, highly-articulated figure based off his appearance in the film. As with previous offerings, Primal features a diecast skeleton (complete with over seventy points of articulation), light-up LED eyes (two LR-44 batteries not included), premium weathered deco and a smorgasbord of accessories. Included are three interchangeable faceplates (one based off his beast mode face, one unmasked and the other masked), eight interchangeable hands (of the fist, relaxed, open and weapon-holding varieties), and his iconic ~~cyber~~ swords. These swords have some customization to them as well - they can either combine to form the double-ended sword by way of a small connector, or be combined via the included chain. The swords can also be stored on the back of the figure via a different pair of adaptors. The figure also comes with an adjustable display stand.		:Part of [[Threezero]]'s ''Rise of the Beasts'' lineup, DLX Optimus Primal is a screen-accurate, highly-articulated figure based off his appearance in the film.

	Optimus Primal—named in honor of the famous [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus Prime]]—was one of the Maximals who inhabited a [[Jungle Planet (colony)\|distant jungle world]]. When [[Unicron]], the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)\|Terrorcon]]s, and their [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]] [[Scorponok (ROTB)\|drones]] attacked, Primal and a small group of Maximals fought their way through to meet their leader [[Apelinq (ROTB)\|Apelinq]], guardian of the [[Transwarp Key]] that allowed their race to cross time and space. Primal demanded that the Maximals fight back against the Terrorcons, but Apelinq refused, aware that the Terrorcon leader [[Scourge (ROTB)\|Scourge]] would try to claim the key. Apelinq pressed onto Primal that he would stay behind to stall Scourge while they escaped, but not before he passed both the mantle of command and the Transwarp Key to him, who used the key to escape their doomed world moments before Unicron devoured their home. Optimus and ~~the three remaining Maximals—~~[[Airazor (ROTB)\|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (ROTB)\|Cheetor]], and [[Rhinox (ROTB)\|Rhinox]]—fled across space and time to ancient [[Earth]], where they established a new base of operations in southern [[Peru]]~~.

Optimus and a group of Maximals—including [[Airazor (ROTB)\|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (ROTB)\|Cheetor]], and [[Rhinox (ROTB)\|Rhinox]]—fled across space and time to ancient [[Earth]], where they divided into two groups, and split the key in half, each group standing guard of one piece. Primal's group established a new base of operations in southern [[Peru]]; initially, they stored their piece of the key in a hidden tomb, but in time, the Maximals befriended the humans who took up residence in the region and entrusted them with the device instead.

	The Maximals remained in hiding for many thousands of years, until, in the year [[1994]], a sequence of events set in motion by the accidental discovery of the Transwarp Key on Earth led a team of Autobots and their human allies [[Noah Díaz]] and [[Elena Wallace]] to the jungles of South America. After Airazor stopped a brief standoff between him and Optimus Prime, Primal agreed to help them retrieve the second half of the Key before the Terrorcons retrieved it, and led them to a nearby village to meet with the latest guardians of the key.

	*Optimus Primal was originally conceived for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)\|Transformers: The Last Knight]]''. His design in ''Rise of the Beasts'' is actually a heavy modification of [[Furio Tedeschi]]'s unused concept art from said film. Aside from the removal of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)\|AOE]]/TLK Optimus Prime-like helmet and the addition of organic components (like leather and fur), the most notable differences are a more brown-ish paintjob, green eyes and a more anatomic chest with a Maximal insignia. While the concept art intends for him to be larger, standing at least at 50 feet tall compared to a [[human]], the [[Official sizes and heights#Transformers: Rise of the Beasts AR Statue Experience stats\|official AR statue]] website app depicts Primal at 13'2" in beast mode.		*Optimus Primal was originally conceived for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)\|Transformers: The Last Knight]]''.

He borrows much of his engineering from ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Kingdom]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Optimus Primal]]. He features poseable fingers, a built-in interchangeable face mask, spring-loaded pop-out forearm plasma cannons, and a pair of shoulder cannons complete with fully launchable pressure-launch projectile missiles (a gimmick not seen on a new-mold Transformers toy since ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)\|Combiner Wars]]''). His swords can combine at the hilt and be held as a double-bladed weapon or store on designated slots on his back. While he can assume a bipedal gorilla stance, his head does not have enough clearance to look forward while doing so.		:"Ultimate" Optimus Primal transforms into a mechanical gorilla and is the same size as the pre-''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Leader Class figures.
