Year of the Monkey

Last year Hasbro released a special version of Masterpiece Optimus Prime and Cybertron Starscream for the Year of the Horse. To celebrate the Year of the Monkey in 2016, Hasbro is releasing a special edition of Beast Machines Air Attack Optimus Primal, featuring a paint job similar to Primal Prime and a monkey inspired Autobot logo.

It's good to see Hasbro hasn't forgotten about the Beast Era molds. But I am a bit surprised to see them pick this version of Optimus Primal. Guess they wanted to go with another Supreme class figure like they did with Starscream last year.

Interesting choice. I'm not sure if I like this version or the original more. Those bright colors don't really suit a gorilla. Still, I agree that it's good to see a fairly obscure figure like this get a new release.
