So Takara went for a Show Accurate Blue, while Hasbro went with a Comic Accurate Blue?

Well, that makes this a tough choice...

Wait, what' that? Hasbro's Optimus has painted lights and eyes that don't look dead and sparkless?

Hasbro it is then!

Haha, I love that pic of Prime snatching the Matrix away from Hot Rod.

MP OP looks amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on him!

The lighting in this video makes the reds looks more like orange.

"TakaraTommy"? "Henkai"? Whoops.

Still kinda wish Hasbro has the silver roller since that color version is the on that was seen the most often in the fiction. Not just the cartoon, but the comics as well.

Yay! The trailers are the same silver!

Too bad about the lack of silver finish on the interior details of the trailer.

Love those eyes on the Hasbro version.

Give me that Hasbro figure.

Very nice. They say patience is a virtue, and in this particular case it's true.
I get a superior version of the toy (in my opinion - personal preference) and save $200.
It's still overpriced but it could be worse - it could be a $20 deluxe.

Imma stick with my Takara version. In my opinion that bright blue makes the figure look "cheap" and "fake" and that painted eye looks horrible. Again it's MY opinion, no need to debate/argue about it.

Those who like it, I'm glad you can save your precious money buying this version instead.

I seriously need this figure, I had the MP01 takara, huge 'n heavy. Could've killed my cat.

This version is better imho, hopefully I can ebay it for a reasonable price. Since europe always gets the shaft on anything toy related.

It'll be nice to have both versions to have one displayed in each mode. Hope to have the same equal goodness for future MP releases!

Nice review. However, you mis transformed both in Alt mode. There's a panel under both arms to cover the space between front wheel and the tank. A lot of ppl forget to unfold that panel.

like Steve Irwin used to say "what a beauty!", wow... the more I look at the pics the more I like what Hasbro did, finally them fools got it together! , but seriously, just wow! I really hope I can get him today, I'm waiting for a couple of stores to open and I'll start making my calls!

again, beautiful pics!

I have to say, this is the first time I've been equally impressed by both versions. I like that Takara's is darker and Hasbro used the lighter animation colors, and its awesome that Hasbro included ALL of the stuff that comes with MP-10. The only thing Hasbro wins the tie with is the eyes. I don't mind Takara's as much as some people, but it would be nice if they were this bright.
