Indeed! Fun fact: actually cut a short few minutes out of the last episode where she talked about it because the news hadn't gone Officially official public, officially.

In Canada, I only ever found (and bought) the YOTH version of MP10, without roller. So, if this new version is ever available retail/online that I can get my hands on, I'll sell the YOTH version.

It was a dumb statement, you're right to be confused :lol:

Both are indeed in "G1 colors", just slightly different. They're identical aside from the shade of blue used, the eyes, and the lights on top of the cab. Many people think the lighter blue is more accurate, but the dark blue is actually closer to what he looked like in the show.

Will this be the same size and basically the same model as the other TRU Hasbro Masterpiece OP? The one that came in the clear box. Even though we're saying it was part of their "generic" line, it was clearly marked as a Masterpiece.

If you mean the same as this:

Then yes, its the same mold.

Ack I bought the Hasbro Asia reissue for $160 not long ago. I wonder how much this will go for.

Exactly the same, barring any other arbitrary TRU markup.

Correct - thanks! Probably don't need another, but it's always tempting.

Depending on the price, I might pick this up just to have an extra.

Best not to think too hard about that.

Maybe 09 is unlucky on cybertron, so they skipped it like some buildings on earth go from floor 12 to floor 14, no floor 13.

I'm thinking too hard, aren't I? ;)^

I know that this thread is mainly talking about the Hasbro rendition of the MP-10 Optimus, but I just wanted to ask a question regarding the Takara MP-10.

Anyone know what I can do for the dead-looking eyes on the figure? I'm currently negotiating a price to purchase the Takara MP-10 from a fellow Seibertronian and want to see if I can get the necessary tools to make the adjustment so I can bring Prime's eyes to life.

Let me know with any solutions?

Awesome! Thanks a lot. While we're still on this topic; anyone know where to get the Ocean Eyes decal for MP-10's eyes?

Thanks!

No worries

But sorry, I did a quick eBay search and found nothing. Maybe just try Google'ing for other online stores?

The following Toys“R”Us exclusives will be available at the Comic Convention (Entertainment Earth booth #2343) from Wednesday, July 19 – Sunday, July 23, and online at Toysrus.com/ComicConvention from Thursday, July 20 – Sunday, July 23. These items will also be available at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide later this year.

TRANSFORMERS Masterpiece Optimus Prime (MP10) from Hasbro

This TRANSFORMERS Masterpiece Optimus Prime collectible figure will definitely be a favorite among TRANSFORMERS enthusiasts at this year’s show. The figure is an MP10 variant and the perfect Masterpiece figure for any fan to start their collection! The figure features a unique color variant inspired by the original TRANSFORMERS: GENERATION 1 animated series. Featuring a high level of detail and intricate articulation with poseable fingers, the figure stands at 9.5 inches when in robot mode and converts between robot and truck modes in 24 steps. The Masterpiece Optimus Prime comes with numerous classic Optimus Prime accessories including the Spike Witwicky figure, Orange Energy Axe, Matrix of Leadership, Ion Blaster Rifle and Roller Unit. The Matrix of Leadership accessory is comprised of mostly die cast metal and a blue, gem-like center which can be carried in the figure’s chest. Fans can fold the Ion blaster Rifle in half and store it in the figure’s back. The Masterpiece Optimus Prime figure also comes with a trailer that converts into a battle station and a repair bay. Rubber tires are also included.

While no stock photography was available from Toys R Us of Optimus Prime in-package as of this post, we do have an image of the package which we reported on early last month.

And in case you missed Masterpiece Optimus Prime the first few times around, here are Seibertron.com's galleries of Takara Tomy and Hasbro's Optimus Prime figures.
