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.

Re: Year of the Monkey
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.
