Toy Review - Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime (MP-10 version)

[Jim_jim]

This Prime is defiantly worth buying. Nicely design, and the scale is just right, at least, not as large as the MP1.

I like the transformation, you only need to read the instruction once and you would know how to transform. Unlike the MP starscream, until today, I still would not be able to transform it without reading the instruction.

The down side of this toy is that the arms are too long, but since it is adjustable, it is ok for me.

One of the best Masterpiece's to come out and for the cost, it's a steal.
Coming with the same accessories as the Takara version is a pure win and for half the cost.
Every collector should have this piece in their collection.

Admittedly I wasn't interested in getting the toy in the first place. But, with the coupon I decided to get one. Glad I did. It is a fun toy to play with. Aside from the lack of die cast and the missing ratcheting needed in it's ankles I find it quite a very nice playable toy. Some minor gripes - the pointy finger articulation is great but it easily pops off. The ankle on mine is slightly loose so I think it really needs ratchets. Anyone knows a way to tighten this part a bit , let me know please. The chest piece doesn't seal fit, but then so does my MP 01. I also think the head looks kinda small for the body. The transformation is simpler yet I still need the instructions heheheh. Prolly once I keep doing it it will become second nature like transforming G1s. Having said all this I like the toy very much and am glad to have bought it. I also would've liked if he has thumb articulation.

Now for some pics

I like how he can still do ballet poses even with the loose ankle joints


I like having the Spike accessory figure - always on the receiving end of Prime's DB moments





The gun storage gimmick is a good touch too....Linda Blair eat your heart out



Now for some "traditional" pics, Prime...


eheeemmmm I said "traditional" Prime...





okaay that'll do

Now I also like he blends in well with the Classicverse figures, size wise






Get one if you haven't... and if you get a TRU discount coupon again, even better!
