I personally don't think it looks better than the TakaraTOMY version -- unless you happen to prefer cartoony colours. I don't, but for approx. half the price of MP10 it's acceptable.

Having seen/handled MP10 IRL I don't think it's purple, but a dark blue like the original G1 toy. The G2 (1993 standard) toy and the reissues are more of a purple-blue, but the original is pure blue.

I agree, but they're attempting to mimick the cartoon colours which were lighter. I prefer the darker colours, but I'm not going to pay nearly double the price (plus shipping) for it. Besides, I have MP10 which already has fairly G1 accurate colours anyway. In a way, having the lighter colours is cool to me because it helps make the toy feel more distinct from MP01. He shall be "Masterpiece G2 Optimus Prime" in the Gokiverse (based on the lighter coloured variant of G2 1993 Optimus Prime )
