Man, you don't know how much I want that statement to be real!
I'm thinking, maybe I should purchase Hasbro Prime (in addition to my current MP10). Once TTomy release an armor MP UMagnus, then the Hasbro Prime can serve as the inner core of the armor fighting along side with the TTomy white robot Magnus. Then my dream display will be completed :

Not too bad at all, but I'm still glad after seeing the comparisons that I picked up the Takara version.

I'll be skipping this one from Hasbro. I do like how they painted the lights on top yellow though. I may have to do the same on my MP-10 .

I think perhaps, in this case, they've gone for comic colours.

I'm glad I got the Takara version.

For my part, owning an MP-10, I sort of prefer the way the Hasbro version optics were colored. More noticeable/ prominent unlike the Tomy version. Spike too has more details(surprise surprise) though the cab of the truck has less paint details except for the overhead headlights(again, surprise surprise again).

Though I kind of not like the washed out colors.....looks a bit on the cheap(maybe the reason for the price difference?) like the infamous G1 anniversary version released a few years ago by Hasbro or better yet, like the MP-01 mold DVD version.

I prefer the colors of the Takara version.

I prefer the price of the Hasbro version.

I don't mind the colours on the Hasbro one. Yes, in comparison, the Takara is more in line with the G1 toy, but the US/Europe(pwease?) release is toon/comic colours and doesn't look bad. The shade of blue is different, but other than that, there's the lights on the cab now painted, and the bits on the wheel arches not, so it balances out fine for me.

Other than the shade of blue, there aren't many differences on Prime. I like the painted yellow lights on the top part of his cab. Looks nice for such a small touch. For $100, I'll pick him up as well.

I'll take the lighter colors, probably 'cause they're $150 less expensive.

I think I would actually shed tears of joy if the rumors come true about the Magnus armor. Idc if they charge $300 if it's done right and I would die happy if they released mp wheeljack
