    Beast mode is a deformed monkey. He looks basically all right, with no extras, but, since you fold his monkey head back to reveal his robot head, his chin is a LOT smaller than the rest of his head, so he looks very odd. Not to mention that the legs and arms look very disproportionate, and I don't know... just not right, somehow.
    Robot mode has some extras. His hands are only halves of his hands in beast mode, so it looks like he has FOUR hands instead of two. Also, his monkey parts which fold back on the upper legs sort of look like a dress. His monkey head parts kind of stand out. However, he's got a pretty neat weapon, his monkey-tail whip. His Maximal symbol is under one of the sides of his gold chest.
    This is one of those figures that you find twelve at your toy store and only two of the others. Only recommended if you are a collector.


Optimus Minor Bio:
FUNCTION: Ground Commando
Due to Megatron’s rash cloning experiments, the Maximals are joined by another new ally; Optimus Minor is a cybernetically-enhanced monkey with unparalleled speed and agility. Possessing superior balance and climbing abilities, this highly intelligent cyber-primate must learn to control his hostile instincts - a side-effect of Megatron’s experiments - and a ferocious advantage in battle. The Predacons learned quickly that Optimus Minor’s presence is no laughing matter.
