Primal is just a weird character to make a Transformer of. He's already a humanoid in his alt mode, so the transformation can only do so much. I think the Cybertron Primal had the most creative transformation by switching the legs and arms, but that's about it. He can't fold up into a box shape like a lot of other Transformers.
So yeah, the original 96 figure is still pretty solid, but I wouldn't mind plopping down MP money for one with more articulation and better paint aps. You kind of have to start with Primal, the hope is they'll do more than just him in the MP line.
I really want Blackarachnia, but I'm not holding my breath.
