Onyx Primal (BotCon 1996 Exclusive)
Onyx Primal Toy
Allegiance: Predacon
Size: Basic
Difficulty of Transformation: Very Easy
Color Scheme: White, black, and some gold and red
Rating: 5.4

    Beast mode is a vampire bat. This mode looks very nice from the top, and has a nice color scheme to it. However, there are a lot of extras on the bottom, including his robot legs and arms. The detailing is only so-so, however, and there are practically no movable parts in this mode except for the bat mouth.
    Robot mode is very fierce-looking, kind of like a night hunter. His bat wings can't fold back, though, and do get in the way. His gold accents on his arms and legs are a nice touch. His upper arms look odd, because they have little gears on the top of them that are necessary for transforming. His twin katana blades are a very nice touch, however, and his face looks very cool.
    All in all, a nice transformer, especially for a repaint of Optimus Primal(Bat), but has a weak beast mode.
