I dont get this, the toy here seems to be a completely different mold and transformation to MP-01. It doesnt even reuse the same truck parts in robot mode.
MP-10 was closer to a down scaled MP-01 since they shared a very similar transformation.

Finally, a transformable wheel-less Optimus Prime. Truck mode still looks close enough to go with MP-22 Magnus.

Toon making tech hadn’t evolved to having that much detail and still being cheap enough to mass produce. So this figure will strive to look show accurate as, what? A tribute to lazy animation?

But the toys came first, so how does that make a lick of sense?
And as far as fiction, this below was the first look at Transformers in a fictional environment for the US, notice that he does have wheels:

The main difference (besides general proportions as others have stated) is the fact that the wheel wells, the *whole* assembly retracts into the shin (somewhere) and the leg is streamlined and smooth. I'm also not 100% sure... but does his truck bumper actually collapse into his waist guard?!

Cyberpath wrote:The original animated series was the opposite of lazy. Everything had to be drawn and painted by hand. And they often animated extra things/gestures that they could have skipped. A lot of the art & animation in the original series was so lovely, I watch it without missing a sec.
Besides, some characters still had wheels on the show.

ZeroWolf wrote:That sailor moon error is disturbing...but yeah back to op, it looks like collectors will be spoilt for choice (and completionists will grumble) but it does limit any future optimus, as they have nothing left for him to be completely accurate to (that can't be achieved via redco that we know they'll do)

Optimus 4.0 will be a larger version of the original G1 toy with full articulation. Everyone remember I said that 10 years from now in case I'm right.![]()
Realistically, though, they'll just move on to the other hundred different Primes and Convoys out there. I'd happily take a MP Flame Convoy.
