Another G1 fan here. Darker shades of blue ain't worth $150 more.

A couple of cheap and simple fix, squint your eyes when you look at the Hasbro version to cut down on the the light you let into your eyes OR stand the figure in a shadow. Sorted.

The lighter colours are a little garish, but they do also seem more cartoon accurate especially with the lighter eyes. The lower price also makes this hard to resist compared to Takara's version.

being that it's 150 less for the same thing, you could paint flames, and give him a Monkey ass, and I'd still buy it.

Are you implying that wouldn't be awesome?

Unless he's a Geewunner.

Don't forget about Takara's famous and exclusive G1 bio cards! It's always makes you feel your Transformers are genuine.

Don't forget the commemorative coins!

Courtesy of HK-TF we have more images of Hasbro's upcoming domestic release of MP-10 Optimus Prime. This figure should be finding it's way to Toys"R"Us store near you soon. Enjoy the images mirrored below.

Dear Hasbro. No battle damage paint apps please? Love Kanyon.



That is one sexy beast.. bot. So glad it's coming to the states for a mass Tru release. Just hope it comes to Michigan x.x

Same here. Looks pretty awesome, and I'm still absolutely amazed we're getting all the same accessories as the Takara release.

Looks great and in these times of reduced quality and plastics in Transformers toys, its good to see a piece without a whole bunch of hollow parts.

im only half as exited for this as i should be....but i had to go out of state for grimlock, online for rodimus, and as far as hasbro goes both my mp rodimus and skywarp are broken, skywarp had broken tail fins (lucky for me found another at walmart) and rodimus literally broke under his own weight somehow and is now glued permanantly into vehicle mode. Both my takara rodimus and black rodimus are fine, so i dont getbwhy that happened. Plastics on hasbros end do seem a lot cheaper these days....ill get prime but he is going in a glass case never to be touched again lol

this shall be my first masterpiece. and will go with my classics.

Well, I think I can deal with the changes. Now that I've gotten used to the lighter colors and light blue eyes, it's not so bad. Definitely better than paying so much for the Takara version.

He looks amazing! I wouldn't mind if they also released a cab-only version. I have a box full of G1/G2/Armada/Energon/Movie trailers already :s

Just as an option, don't shoot me yet.

I will get this anyway
