so why would anyone buy it when a great and suitable KO of the MP version is coming out from Igear??

It looks better in reality. The alt mode looks pretty good.
It's the second most pose-able TF, second only to HABB. Who else can bend forward at the waist? His pose-ability is far superior to MP Prime.
He has four pairs of hands, a matrix, a gun, an energon ax, a G1 style trailer with Roller and storage for the hands, a jet backpack and a display stand so he can hover.
He's die-cast and durable.
Did I miss anything? This price is more than I'd be willing to pay though.

I think the type of person who would buy this is first of all an Optimus Prime/Convoy fan who gets most things Optimus. Secondly, the sheer detail for how small this figure is. Have you seen it in someone's hands? The flaws are largely due to scale. Sure the alt mode isn't pretty but it's a highly detailed collector's item that is a great desk display.
Edit: Here's a size comparison photo of Pepsi Prime, Hybrid, and MP.
