It's Japanese, smart ass. And you're judging a figure that you don't own and are pretty much looking at something that's probably not the finished product. Stay classy dude.

Hasbro does realize that this is an awesome figure that has to be released in the Americas, right?

Kudos to the camera man

Wow, this thing is very small compared to the normal Masterpiece prime. And I like that, hopefully Hasbro will release it full plastic without the trailer for a normal price. I'll seriously ebay that. I really like the new face.
But still, Laser Rod Optimus Prime has the best Optimus Prime face ever.

Like the size comparison there. And I really like that truck mode. He looks so much better. This mold would look good next to my Buster Prime. :grin:

I like it, I really do but not for more than $100 shipped especially after MP Rodimus.

What about this trailer blows MP-04's out of the water? They're practically the same except 04's is more accurate with the insignia properly placed...

I've got this on preorder but here's my question/concern: How big is it? The video clearly shows that it's significantly smaller than MP01 and about the same size as Rodimus. But I don't have a Rodimus to compare it to (waiting on the US release). Is MP 10 going to be about the size of the seekers and Grimlock?

From the way MP-10 scales up to MP-1, he should be about the size of MP Starscream, more or less. My Starscream is a half-inch below shoulder height compared to MP-1 and Megatron. When the video showed MP-10 and MP-1 side by side, MP-10 was about halfway between MP-1's shoulder and elbow.

The height of the trailer is too low en the broadness of the trailer is too broad!

Posted by Naked Magnus on June 18th, 2011 @ 11:39pm CDT

I actually think the scale of the iGear Faith Leader is better with Masterpiece Rodimus. This MP-10 makes MP-09 Rodimus look like a skinny wimp. The arms, torso, and legs are fare bigger and bulker on Optimus than Roddy. Faith Leader is a bit smaller than MP-09, thus making Roddy look bigger.

I would expect that the "chosen one" to replace Optimus would be a bit bigger and stronger. I remember the G1 stats of Roddy were a tad better than Optimus' as well. What is also great about MP-01, MP-09, and Faith Leader is that if you put MP-09 Hot Rod next to MP-01, the scale looks right. Then put MP-09 Rodimus next to Faith Leader and it also looks right. I have been meaning to take pictures and post them, because it really looks cool.

He seems to be lacking the proper proportions. I'm beginning to think that's how they got a better cab mode.

If the figure was cheaper I would buy it, but $250 for a figure that is smaller than the MP-04 which was priced at $180 originally just doesn't sit with me.

They basically want me to spend $70 more than what I spent on MP-04. How on earth is that cool?

QFT. On all of it. I really want a MasterPiece Optimus, but I'm struggling to decide which.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with these feelings.

I did like the videos that revealed the figure, but I guess, I'll just have to wait and see how the next little while plays out for this figure. I probably won't buy it anytime soon.

What the heck is going on with the Tokyo Toy Show transformation video? Stop teasing us with the back of someone's head, shaky camera work, and a transformation hidden behind the trailer.

Since you don't have MP9 to compare, MP10 will he a head taller than Grimlock. Here's a pic of my MP comparison, so just imagine MP10 instead of MP9. That should give you some idea of MP 10 height.

This mold is a thing of beauty. It makes the previous MP Prime mold look like a stack of blocks.

This looks superb. The original MP Prime is truly a Masterpiece but I actually prefer the Masterpieces that are shorter and not as heavy.
I'd like to see a real video review before I'll pre-order it from Amazon.co.jp or Yahoo.co.jp though.

I really can't wait to get this figure. Between him and the 2nd run of Rodimus, I will be in Plastic Heaven…and broke.

OK so it looks like instead of a sliding mechanism the forearms open and the hands fold in revealing truck parts; there's no rotating at the waist required for transformation; the matrix chamber is on the same hinge as the head and that all folds forward; didn't see how the wheels come out but there's more truck parts connected. I'd really like this but still not at that price.

The forearm/hand transformation seems to be very busy in contrast to MP1 which just use a quick sliding mechanism. Since the head fold down from the front, I'm just curious where's the seating for Spike to sit on come to play.

im likeing it more and more with every thing we see, which is pissing me off more and more >< it seems to follow most of its cues from the origional mp prime mold, with more parts added for a better looking figure and vehicle mode. not bad.

though the bot mode is much smaller, the truck mode doesnt seem that much smaller, so it should still fit in well with my alternators/binaltechs

Exactly. This has got me worried about future releases in this line. The prices keep going up and up and as such fewer and fewer people will want to/be able to afford them which would see fewer sales and we all know what happens to lines that dont sell well.

Do they think that they can charge this much because its Prime and they know that people like Prime?

Im sticking with my MP-04 Perfect Edition as its bigger and cost less!

Oh and I am guessing we will see the obligatory white and black repaints at some point... and then a sleep version..and then a Final edition just before they unveil a new version.

This figure is cool and all, but it does NOT justify the price point.

And, several things really bother me about it.

1. The Autobot logo in the wrong location on the trailer.
2. The stuby gun.
3. The robot proportions are all incorrect.

I hope seeing it in person does it more justice than the pictures are doing for it. IGears's Masterpiece Not-Ramjet is a prime example of this.

But 250 bucks? Wow. That's pure greed.

Posted by REMINATOR on June 24th, 2011 @ 4:33pm CDT

The slightly off Autobot logo hardly bother me. But the proportion problem (arm, lower feet, abs), midget gun, kibble lower leg, smaller figure yet cost 250, just drive me nut!!!

I wonder if TakaraTomy's aim is put the MP figures in the same price range as Gundam figures, which can ball park around $200-250 (and they are unassembled, unpainted models).

I posted the exact same on the first thread that was up when we heard the news about MP-10 being another version of Optimus.
It's sad but true that we will inevitably see those pointless other versions as well to maximise profits on the new mold.

This should have been kept back for at least another year. It's just way too soon after all the Prime versions we've had in the last 12 months. Ditto Rodimus version 2. It's an insult to fans and a real slap in the fact to everyone who saved and shelled out hard earned cash on the other versions as well.

I think the size looks fine (always thought MP Prime and Megatron were a wee bit big) and he looks awesome but I want to see a full review by someone who can hold a camera steady and who speaks English before I commit to buy. My MP Prime last one is still MISB and if I get MP-10 then I'll be selling him to cover the cost as it would be pointless to have two Masterpieces of the same character, not to mention, a waste of cash and space.

Has anyone else noticed that e-Hobby has reduced their price for MP-10. A sign that the figure is not selling as quickly as they expected?

Spike will not only sit in the cab mode, but also inside the robotic repairer cockpit, and maybe inside Roller as well. My question retained to the Toy Tokyo Show video. I saw the designer folded down the Matrix and Prime head, but I couldn't figure out the cab seating or interior, etc.

I need to correct myself - Spike will need to ride in MP-01.
