Cary -- there's a certain part in Beast Wars that Primal and Prime's sparks merge, and Optimal is the result! My brother told me as soon as this happened, Optimal went and single-handedly kicked Con tail, with lotsa guns blazin! It's not until the subsequent Beast Machines series they go back to Cybertron and ultimately try and balance their techno/organics....but when they ditch those forms or what happened to Rhinox & co? No idea. ;p

My brother had a bunch of Beast Wars figures (his era, after all, which also included Headmasters -- which were basically new characters to me having only seen the G1 toys), and I remember Cheetor lookin pretty cool (with metallic parts complementing the plastics), but not lovin the line as a whole (since I didn't watch the show).
I completely missed out on WfC as well, but recently picked up the games for PS3. I love seeing our bots in Cybertronian forms, and can imagine if I had seen these at the time of their release, I'd have jumped back in then. I loved DEVASTATION on PS4 though! #geewunnerlol
It was Combiner Wars that finally brought me back - Devastator, really. It was like they finally did the guy justice and I had to have him.

Va'al -- Optimal almost has a "why me?" look on his face. That inspired more ideas...!

Itscramtastic -- LOVE LOVE LOVE those outdoors shots with Optimal! These look perfect, and yeah, camouflage certainly was not the driver for his transmetal coloring!
