About this deal

Released as part of the Beast Wars Again line, the "Eternal Beast Showdown" (恒久ビーストの対決) set contains Convoy and Megatron.

The wings could angle forward a little to shoot the missiles or he could hold them like melee weapons. These slightly-above-Deluxe-size beasts open up into playsets for the included micro-figures of first-year Beast Wars characters.Released to advertise Beast Wars' airing in Japan, a small, hand-held slide-puzzle depicting Optimus Primal in robot mode, brandishing a sword, one arm cannon deployed, and looking very dynamic. The sculpts for both BWX leader toys were intentionally designed to blend in with the Jungle Planet aesthetic, "in case" they didn't get a Beast Wars Anniversary release (according to Aaron Archer's statements at BotCon 2005). When a back section of the cannon module is pulled, the eyes and shoulder-mounted missile launchers lit up and the launchers fired. When the jetpack is not deployed, the jet flames are folded up and form Primal's backplate, with the flame blast effect details being repurposed as ape fur.

A snap together model kit of Optimus Primal was available as part of Kabaya's Beast Wars Gum line of candy toys. Yet another Target exclusive redeco of ReAction Optimus Primal, this one is based on the " Burning Convoy" redeco of the original Ultra-class toy, cast in transparent red plastic with metallic gunmetal and gold paint accents. Perhaps due to cost-cutting, this toy was released in the large bubble-on-a-tray packaging also used in the Alternators line. The rest of the line was made up of the Transmetals, "Beast Wars turned inside-out": robotic animals with fleshy inner robot parts. line, Optimus Primal, 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from the Marvel Legends and Star Wars The Black Series lines.

On top of that, the toy also features a pressure-launching disc-shooter in its robot mode stomach (accompanied by blasting sound effect), and a geared right arm with a spring-loaded punch action (and suitably pained electronic grunt).

Like the other later Robot Heroes waves, this toy was cancelled because retailers only wanted Revenge of the Fallen toys. The waist and backpack of the core figure, along with the blast shields, are cast in same dark gray as his shoulders, chest, and calves. It was the new Target exclusive Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Worlds Collide (ugh, I hate typing that) four pack, minus Fangry and Bumblebee. His cute kitty butt and wiggly tail convert into a powerful quasar cannon, and the Meow Mix and tuna that powers his toxic fluid blaster renders his enemies’ bodies completely useless.

Re)start a vintage Beast Wars collection with this Transformers: Vintage Beast Wars Predacon Retrax figure! This generally hasn't happened anymore since, with massive deco changes of this sort usually being sold as "new" toys with new SKUs and packaging and etc.
