Optimus Primal vs. Megatron

Originally, Optimus was supposed to be a Bat. According to the Beast Wars Sourcebook, it was suggested by the Axalon computers, but Optimus rejected it in favor of the more powerful gorilla. The comic indicated that this was the new body of Optimus Prime (before the series even started).
