Available only in a special CD-ROM two-pack with a purple redeco of "Megaligator", this version of Optimus Primal (maybe) retains its previous gimmickry. His back features a silver Maximal faction symbol plus "C-ROM", as in "Cybertron" and Megatron has the "D-ROM"? See what they did there?

Just what character this toy represents is up for debate. The toy's bio claims he used to turn into a tractor-trailer (indicating Optimus Prime), but considering the timeframe of when they were written and the whole lack of a stance on who Primal "was" before the show and blah blah blah... it's just easier to file this under the same iffiness as the original toy bios set on modern Earth and leave it at that.

This mold was also used to make Onyx Primal.
