If you saw review on this figure by emgo316 he tabled his in perfectly with modification to figure itself he found little trick to make it work

For the price of these figures, having to modify in any way is 10,000% unacceptable.
He is a gorgeous figure, but the tabs on him are not strong enough to hold against the tolerances of the figure.
Also, I've watched many, many reviews on him in the last 2 days. Still can't get it to hold 100%. Something always pops loose. It is insanely frustrating.

Emgo found a way to tab it all in flush without modding. You have to do it in a very specific order, very carefully and not in the orser of instructions. Id post the video but I'm on my phone and can't post links easy. But it is possible without mods.

Seems its just a very very specific way of getting things tabbed in. From the doors to the hood panels.

Yes, I know. That video is posted in another thread. I watched it, followed it, got the hood flush, but as soon as you try to connect it with the rest of truck, it pops out again.
Or the side panels do.
Or the legs do.
And when you go to make it all flush, BOOM! Hood pops out. This figure makes MP-36 and ROTF Leader Prime look like two of the easiest figures ever made. He'll, the doors on Binaltech Grimlock are less frustrating.

Ah ok. I don't have the figure, so didn't know it still has issues. Man, that's rubbish. A premium figure like this shouldn't have problems like this.

I don't usually have negative things to say about Transformers, but MPM-4 is AWFUL!! If you haven't purchased it already, my suggestion would be to save your money. Even following emgo's instructions, the slightest movement and several tabs pop out. Also, if you happen to get the windshield/hood aligned correctly, there doesn't seem to be a way of connecting the upper and lower parts of the exhaust pipes as they are horribly misaligned.
Problems so far:
Truck mode:
Masterpiece name, masterpiece price... NOT masterpiece quality!
Problems so far:
Truck mode:
- Windshield/hood alignment
- Exhaust pipe alignment
- Stress marks in red plastic (behind front wheel fenders on engine cover) after only 3 transformations
- The top of the legs don't tab properly into black rear bumper
- Red chest/abdomen piece (passenger side) doesn't tab properly
Masterpiece name, masterpiece price... NOT masterpiece quality!

Is this not the same version that just came out? I thought the mpm optimus released in July was it. Takara and hasbros name are on my box so I assumed that that was it?

Has anyone found it in a US Toysrus store yet? If so that would be some cool news to front page.

A Seibertronian reader has shared with us that they were able to purchase MPM-4 Optimus Prime. They have included a photo and a receipt. This tells us that this figure was purchased at the ToysRus in Columbia, MN.

I went to my local Toys R Us today and saw 2 of them. I was genuinely surprised. But disappointed, because I literally only have $2 to my name. It'll be a while before I can afford one of these things.

Courtesy of regular news source Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook, and the magazine Figure King 235, we have some images of the Takara Tomy specific release of Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-4 Optimus Prime! The images are mirrored below, and you can compare this to the Hasbro release by checking out our gallery here.

Do we know when this guy's set to release? The extra blue paint and lighter grey plastic that's a lot closer to the silver paint might make him worth the wait and the extra money.
