Takara Reveals Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime 3.0 at Tokyo Toy Show 2018

I wonder if it's just the cab. Trailer looks pretty much the same. And I don't really need another trailer. Unless they managed to come up with a better trailer hitch than lousy hitch he has now.

Looks cool to me.
For a start it doesn't look like the gun folds up anymore, so it should be a bit more stable.
Also I have MP-10 and while it was cool I have had a few issues. One of the flaps that cover the wheels on the legs broke off.
I would kinda like to see Has-Tak or 3rd Party make an MP version of the Evergreen design currently employed in the ongoing IDW Optimus Prime comic.

This really looks awesome. I don't have all the excitement I did for MP-10, but this is really exciting. I think that this is like the Masterpiece Prime for those(like me) who can't find MP-10 anymore. Anyway, truck mode is an improvement, and I guess bot mode hs a few points added, but is pretty much the same. If this has the complexity and/or the accessories like MP-36, I'm sold. Thank you HasTak!

Oh dear gods. The blank inner shins, the weird-looking proportions, the apparently fake chest windows...I'll be getting MP-10.

Proof in the pie is in the eating!

Wait for the final painted images. Same with the trailer. The iconic box design will never change(a glorified container is all but the inside is the meat of it all! Who knows, maybe Roller will be 6w drive like THS02)? Another Spike would be optional. Will his energon ax be MP10 style of MP01 derivative?

Too many variables..............

Still, will BE getting him!

Can't really judge yet. I remember when we saw a grey prototype of MP-36, and people didn't like it. Then a lot of them turned around once they saw it in color and in proper pictures. I'm sure the same thing will happen here, and a fair amount of people will eventually like this.

I feel at this point takara is waiting for 3rd parties and is taking notes, cause for the most part, 3rd parties beat them to it almost every time. so i'm pretty sure they lost the ability to release MP's (from g1) before a 3rd party .

Color

Hmmm. Wow. They.... really can’t stop themselves from dipping into that stagnant well, can they?

Well, lots of thoughts this time around.

First off, let me just say, no matter how awesome this is, or how bad, or how much I may end up loving it or hating it, MP-10 is still an awesome figure, and will always have a place in my collection, with the other primes, if nothing else.


On to this new guy.....


I like what I see. I'm always down for a new, updated figure. I don't believe in the phrase "good enough". Progress always moves forward. I am totally down for this guy, so far.

Though I, too, would like to see some of the characters that haven't been made yet get the MP treatment, it doesn't bother me. See, the 3rd party market has provided for most of those needs, so my itch is scratched. Maybe if that wasn't the case, I'd be more upset, but it is, and I'm not.

In the end, though, I'll have to wait till I've got it in hand to say yea or nae difinitivly.
