In terms of size...
MP1 = 30.5cm
MP10 = 24cm
CW Megatron = 23cm

So yeah, height-wise MP10 is the nearest match. Also, remember that Australia will be getting the reissue Japanese MP10 Optimus Prime which has different colours from the standard Hasbro release. You may like to compare and see which version you prefer.

Thanks everyone for the info (including Paulbot for saving me from looking like a dope )

So basically MP-10 is what I should be looking at for the best scale opponent to CW Megatron, and the key to vector sigma one is an MP-10 = awesome . I've had a quick look at a few comparison vids between the Takara and Hasbro versions and the main differences appear to be different colours (Hasbro reflects G1 animation while Takara reflects G1 toy more) with quality of the product (more tight and better detailing) going to Takara. Essentially its going to be a present for my son (yes I've decided to seize the opportunity to relive my youth through my kids), meaning that its for the purpose of being played with as opposed to being displayed, so of course price plays a big part in that category for me which leans me more to the Hasbro version as it is "supposed" to be "cheaper", and the finer detailing sort of becomes irrelevant since its most likely going to get banged up.

Unless of course the Takara version is available for the same price then its much of a muchness to me (although personally I think I like the colouring of the Hasbro one better since I've already got a G1 figure - and that one is mine)

Does anyone have any idea on what the going price range would be for the Takara release MP-10 that Australia is supposed to be getting? Goktimus - I'm assuming you mean its scheduled to hit Toys R Us etc sometime this year?, would I be right to assume it would most likely be around the Ultra Magnus price i.e. $300, or can we expect it to be somewhere around the $200 mark?
