I didn't want to want this.....but it looks perfect!!!

not only is this directly for the nitpicky fans who wanted a Optimus thats in proper scale with their other MPs.
but also that they redesigned and restyled every part from the leg style to the ab-grill.

But looking this over I like every bit of the old mp better, except for the scale and alt mode of course,
the chest, ab-grill, legs, crotch, arms, pretty much everything.
To me i dont think it would be easy to beat MP-01

I thought exactly the opposite. If you look at the pics, his build is more fluid, no strange out of place aspects like the arm joints in alt mode...more streamlined, tighter joints...all around a better figure.

Ryan seems to have gotten the error version, just like mine. If you take a look at his pseudo rear lights/toes, both are facing left. It should be mirror images of each other.

I would say it is about the same, maybe a tad more complex.

Yeah, it's about the same level, just different. Maybe a little more fiddly to get some tabs into the hips in cab mode but not substantially more difficult that MP-01.

Except in terms of poseability. MP-01's ratchet points are too far apart and he's not very stable. The new version is miles ahead in subtlety of posing - you can change little nuances. He's really stable, unless you got the one with floppy ankles.

O_o... I had no idea he was that much of a downsize from the original. That's a shocker...

I tried looking for this in the gallery, but didn't see what you're talking about. Would you mind referring a photo in the gallery where this is apparent?

This, my fellow Decepticons, just made me crap my pants.

He looks amazing.

Is he worth getting? The price is shocking to say the least, but I am considering putting money back for him if he's worth the price.
Are there any flaws that should be noted like parts popping off too easily or weak plastic or generally anything that might cause damage to the figure?

Would very much like to hear all the good and bad points from those who have this Masterpiece since I'm very cautious about spending so much after the way MP Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime turned out if this Masterpiece is as flawed as that one was.

wow he IS small. I wouldn't want the trailer and I have faith leader...I think I'll stick with that....since he fits perfectly with the chug.

Awesome gallery! I have him and love him... but I simply prefer the first MP Prime.
