£150? Where is that price? I preordered it months ago at £170 and the price has gone up since then.

Thanks to the video review, I feel even less enclined to pay 200$ FOR A BIG EMPTY GRAY BOX. (100$ for Prime, 200$ for the trailers and accessories at my guess)

Please Hasbro, just release Prime over here, sans the trailer, as a NON-EXCLUSIVE so we can buy the thing at a normal price.

As far as the figure goes I love him but I stopped collecting masterpiece.

i'm sorry.. but that doesn't make any sense to me.. how can you just stop collecting one part of a franchise (maybe i should why) .. why wouldn't you just buy what you want. if you love it, then why not get it? it's sort of like saying, oh i like this song, but i'm not going to listen to it because i don't like the band anymore.

but it's G1 prime.. he NEEDS his trailer. it makes his alt mode complete.. otherwise you may as well just get a non transforming prime. and i'm pretty sure you're not paying $100 just for the trailer..

and yes you could call it "empty box".. but what do you expect a big rig trailer to be? a circle? or were you hoping there would be treasure in it? lol

prime needs his trailer.

plus.. if hasbro releases it over hear.. it'll most likely be an orangey red rather than a nice rich red, they'll most likely get rid of everything except the gun and the sword and the smokestacks will be neutered.. i don't know about other people, but if i'm going to get a prime of this caliber, i don't want the half assed version.

Beleive me, I would buy the whole thing in a heartbeat. It's just a matter of money... ;_;

The colors and shiny chrome are terrific. But what's up with the wheels not all aligning? $250 and MP Convoy already needs a wheel alignment? What's with that?

@El Duque: Thank you mate. Just sharing the love.

@Stormrider: Wheels are fine on my copy. They're all free spinning and have good clearance from the cab.

No problem, and thanks for sharing. I actually really appreciated the silent nature of your videos and the thought the use of the captions was quite clever. Keep em' coming!

i agree, it maks the viewer focus more.
it might help to speak your voice once in a whle, y'know, if theres something hard to show worth mentioning like a complex bit of transformation or blah.
still, great video man:)

From your video it doesn't look like all four wheels touch the ground at the same time. It's the same thing that happened with MP Rodimus.

On a side note, I just transformed my MP-01 Optimus Prime )Last Shot) in truck mode...
Y U TRUCK MODE IS A MESS? :-(

@-Kanrabat- : Kindly elaborate.

Anyways, high resolution pics.

Wewyllenium, nice review. Kind of needed to get used to the "silent movie" style, but it works.

BTW, I've got a question regarding the fig's windscreen. I noticed an air bubble/nub the size of a grain of sand on one of the windscreen on mine, and is more visible when light reflects off of the surface of the plastic. A couple of other guys I talked to also noticed the same thing.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a common manufacturing problem with MP-10.

My copy did not sport air bubbles on the clear parts. I'll double check for you buddy.

For once, Hasbro's instruction manuals are often obscure and full of mistakes. And often, many reveiwers transform the toy too quickly and dont show the transformation well enough.
Kudos to the one who made the video!

+1

No offense to baltmatrix, peaugh, et al.

Thanks man, i was wondering how it would size up to other figs, cos i heard that the new mastepieces were only voyager size.
cheers for shedding the light on that:)

I absolutely love this figure. I had the original MP-01 Convoy/Prime, at the time I thought it was an amazing figure. But this is amazing. I love everything about this figure except the price. It will take me awhile but it will be mine.
