Transformers Masterpiece figures showcase iconic characters with premium detailing and intricate articulation. This MP-10 Optimus Prime figure is a fan favorite that features classic accessories including the matrix of leadership, beam rifle, and energy axe. Another thing i like most is the treatment being done to all the rims. And yes, you are seeing shiny chrome rims there. Glad they have sacrificedthe size and die cast but didn’tscarify the details, especially the generous usage of chrome parts. Much die cast part has been replaced with chrome parts which can be observed at the exhaust smoke pipe, the petrol tank, front bumper and front grill. If you said: “oh well, it just a cut on the tyre, i am still okay with it”, Well, the next picture will not be as “acceptable” if you are paying the hefty price to own such an “exclusive” masterpiece.

Oh ya, apparently the QC1 has been reported that almost all MP10s suffer the same fate. It only occurs to the right robot hand of him but the left one seem firmly intact. I also appreciate the super thorough side-by-side photograph comparison/review alongside the 2012 Hasbro and Takara Optimuses. Hello, new collector here. How did you find out this really detailed size info or was this reply tongue-in-cheek? Seriously, the transformation of this Masterpiece isn’t as difficult as it seemed and personally i think it is much moresimplerthan the ROTF Buster Prime. Much of the parts are very straightforward without mind blogging twist and turn.The overall plastic being used here is of matte surface plastic, just like the MP09 while you will see some shiny plastic around the waist area.

I like how they redesign the headlights as they appeared in 4 squares with silver chrome plating now. If you have a MP01 and you definitely notice the difference over the headlights (MP01 has 4 rounded headlights instead). Moreover, the side mirrors are being redesigned as well, you can now flip out to reveal it.

Overall there is quite minimum color paintings for him and quite some usage of chrome parts do add details to him. And if you expect some ooo-la of electrical sounds & lights for the moolah you have “invested” in him, try to save it as he doesn’t come with either. Maybe due to the smaller size of him, it is hard to fit in electrical parts. Well, i guess the other option is to mimic the sound manually. lol.Despite being the visually smaller MP10, if you compared side by side with a leaderclass, he doesn’t seemed as small as he is. Well, taking off those much bulkier details from the movie version of Optimus Prime, i can pretty much say that the size is nearly the same. My first impression on MP10 Optimus Prime, he is very much more stylish as compared to MP01. The head sculpture is different and he now has a more streamlined body shape. However, if you expect to see die cast materials in him, you will be very much disappointed as most of the parts are of plastics and shiny chromes as replacements. As a result, it weights much more lighter and yield a better (yes far more better) pose-ability as compared to the previous.

Another “selling point” of MP10 (and all coming MPs after him) will be the standardized size and scale with MP09. That’s explain why the sudden shrinking of size. I guess partly due to cutting cost as well? :p KBB MP10V is an excellent minified version of MP10 Optimus with the perfect duplication (or upgrade) of movability, painting, and electroplating.

The image below shows the figure on the shelf in the Toys'R'Us in Joliet, Illinois. The clear plastic pieces in the waist are noticeably different between these two releases, with the latest 2017 version featuring a bright yellow as opposed to the darker, more amber toned 2012 version. The grays of the thighs are also different, with the latest one being a bit brighter shade. The blues are actually a little different as well, but some other shots later will put this on display more effectively.

in-scale with most Masterpiece and LeaderClass line(I’m always whining about that I can’t find a better bumblebee which in scale with LC Optimus) Is there a place that lists the differences between the Takara original, the Hasbro 2012, the Hasbro Asia 2014, and Hasbro SDCC exclusive, and the Hasbro 2017? Did I leave out any releases? Is there a centralized place where I can find all the comparison info/stats/pictures? A very obvious make over of this new trailer is the details it offers to the collector. You won’t be seeing flat running plastic lying at the wall of it enclosure. It is being replaced by silver metallic painted running circuit here and there. Yes, seem like they have invested a lot of in giving this piece as much silver metallic paints as much to justify the price tag. In contrast, those “interactive” parts will only appear in dark blue color. Speaking of monotonouscolor scheme. Another bio card for your character card collection (if you ever have one). Never a fan for card collection anyhow. Just wish they'd release the figure alone the way MP-10B is. I have no use for expensive trailers that take up shelf space.
