Comparison Images Between MP 10 and Leader Optimus Prime from Transformers Power of the Primes

Makes a good stand in for MP-10, and it'd even make me want to get Combiner Wars Megatron despite its blatamt flaws.

It's a very good stand-in to be sure. Only thing is that from this angle, POTP OP's ankles look a bit... I don't know how to describe it other than "construct-bots-y". Otherwise, brilliant.

Ill be buying this POTP Optimus just for the Orion Pax. Hopefully the trailer actually does something in robot mode besides being a blown out torso...a base mode perhaps?

As far as this being a good "stand in" for MP-10, how about just buying a real MP-10? They are available in TRUs everywhere currently. Dont got a TRU nearby? Try e-bay. Theres a version of the MP-10 mold with or without the trailer for every budget out there. Dont compare this thing to an MP figure just because it takes certain cues. Its like comparing apples and oranges.

The Pics look great. The POTP and MP-10 Optimus Look very similar. Tho, MP-10 is still the best for the higher end market, POTP is a perfect standin for those fans who want a G-1 esque Prime that is close to the Animation, and MP-10! That is a win win for fans!! Great looking Primes.

Just give us a Nemesis Orion Pax and Prime and we'll be good to go!

ugh ... those ankles just gave me flashbacks to Legends Ginrai.

And I hate those **** ankles.

Actually, I get flashbacks to Robot Masters Prime with those ankles.. so many gaps in RM Prime, it wasn't good.. but those old bots were meant to be cheaply made.. tho they fetch far more now.

I really do like OP's robot mode, but I really don't like his truck mode, so I'll have to take a pass on him, because no sense in have a transformer if I won't transform it.

Power of the Primes Leader Optimus Prime looks great, even compared to MP-10. He'll be a worthy compliment to Combiner Wars/Legends Leader Megtron. The ONLY gripe I have with this PotP version is the gray hands. For something that's supposed to be G1AF, that's a big mistake. I'm sure Takara Tomy will get that right, at least.

well.....you could always paint it yourself and not pay takara's extra 20 or more bucks.....

You and me both

And thats not counting the very affordable KOs. I never looked at the prices on ebay. But its not a rare mold to own like calling the POTP prime a "stand in" sort of implies.

I have no idea where you are getting that assumption from about saturated market. Despite constant releases, the price has only gone up. I don't know why you think MP-10 is 'for every budget'. The cheapest official MP-10 I can find is $100. Not everyone can afford that for a single figure. And the KO is $50, which some people don't want. Sure PotP will also be $50, but that can be bought on sale if a person waits.
