THe comparison shots really make the clown feet stick out. I miss the little light stickers that go there too. Must need the extra length to hold him up.

Very light on the added in accessories. And seems to be maybe smaller than a leader class figure. The price is a bit scary when you think about no electronics,on the robot, and less metal in the robot. I can't unsay my cost of things has gone up comment, because they have, but I do understand how this is a very hefty, hard to swallow price for many.

I can see HASBRO bringing it here, and maybe even with the trailer. Just expect bad colors and slipped stacks. It would honestly be like an HA fig, with a trailer.

So maybe we'll see it as an HA figure without the trailer... Hmmm...

I'm thinking the feet may be mistransformed in these pics, since his feet look much shorter in other images.

Prime had one

on his left shoulder in the cartoon. His right shoulder was bare. Roller was gray/silver in the cartoon, not blue.

I am surprised about the lack of gimmicks considering MP-10, in my opinion, was pretty gimmick heavy.

"the feet may be mistransformed in these pics, since his feet look much shorter in other images." where did you see the pics of these short feet??

by **NamelessOne** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 12:47 pm

Happy that I paid off this at Robotkingdom ages ago - can't wait to get my hands on this!

It is surprisingly smaller than I had in mind though, but I think it'll fit in nicely with my CHUGs...

I can see them making a Nemesis Prime version as well as a Ultra Magnus version of this. And later on, Igear will have this as well. >:oP

Yeah, the first Masterpiece Prime was gimmick-AWESOME. Seriously... the first time I pressed down on his ankle-shock-absorbers and the vents popped open... I just about cried. Some seriously nice, well-thought-out gimmicks.

Here, we have a great display piece and transformation.... but no gimmicks really. Wish the price reflected that! Then I'd be okay with it all.

People here are so damn picky sometimes!

This is an amazing Masterpiece Transformer! It looks great, comes with all of the right accessories and is properly sized for display with the rest of the Masterpiece line. I for one will be getting one even if I have to order from overseas (rare for me).

I just hope it is more durable than Masterpiece Rodimus.

Yeah igear will make this but don't you think it will be a chinsy version of this though. Like the weak plastic on the Faith Leader that would shatter like glass on some pieces? I just don't trust they're quality enough to make me want to invest in any of their products. The only thing I've actually been moved to buy has been they're cassette scout and to be honest it's hella cheapo but it does complete my cassette collection.

Absolutely right!!! So much crying going on.

The "duck feet" problem is beyond my understanding. The feet actually look like feet now not stubby little dumpers. All those gimmicks were so unnecessary IMO. This really looks like Optimus Prime from the cartoon. As pointed out by multiple others on this website.

I just preordered this from Big Bad Toy Store and I can't wait to get this. Even though I wont open it. So this is going to be my 50th different version of Optimus Prime. I got a very impressive Optimus Prime collection.

by **Motorthing** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 4:07 pm

I'll be getting one...just not the $250 one. As soon as Hasbro cheapen it up for domestic/overseas release I'll be in there whining that I can't find it in TRU.......hopefully this wont be the first MP in a while that skips Europe.

by **Swindle01** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 4:17 pm

For the price im going to be paying for this - fix the duck feet or else im not buying

I see no similarity.

I would like to know why the feet are a different colour.

Because the mold was showing signs of quacks. Sorry about that, couldn't resist!!!!

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 4:32 pm

There IS the chance his toes may fold in. I forget which Prime does that, but I remember at least one which had longer toes which fold in.

Anyone? :-?

Classics Onslaught maybe?

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 4:59 pm

Yeah, maybe his blue prime-like feet are playing with my memory.

This should not be MP-10. It should be MSP-01. Master ShitPiece #1. No Windows and looks like a mechanical Hobbit.

Here are size comparison pics
Size comparison: MP-01 vs MP-10

Size comparison: MP-01, PP01C, MP-10

Quick summary: Some major GOODs and BADs of MP-04 compared to MP-01 or MP-04 with container:

GOODs:
1) Better outlook... with detailed waist design and the LONG arms can be adjusted... with transformable gun which can be stored at the back
2) The most detailed G1 MP container made by TakaraTomy/Hasbro so far

BADs:
1) Lack of mechanic details (non-movable mouth plate, non-shinny eyes, no pipes behind the arms, no communication panels on the forearms, no lighting features inside chest, non-movable flipping plates on the legs, thumb cannot move... only index finger and the other 3 fingers can move as one piece...)
2) Lack of metal parts ... I think over 90% are plastic... only metal parts are found on the feet incl. screws... haha

Thanks for the pictures. Can you share more details with us?

Quality?
Ability to pose?
etc..

Also, I am curious how much he costs in Hong Kong? Do the instructions reveal the next figure?

Maybe iGear will do a bigger version of this one...

Any chance we could get some vehicle mode comparisons of MP-01 and PP01C with MP-10? :grin:

by **dinogeist** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 11:36 pm

It's a awesome toy.

i'll wait for the hasbro version minus the trailer that will cost around $60.

Japanese Transformers Collector - Alfes2010 has posted more in hand images of Takara Masterpiece MP-10 Convoy Version 2.
In fact Alfes2010 posted 5 different galleries for this figure. We have selected and mirrored a few of the images here:
