    Very nice, he won't replace my original MP Optimus, but he's a must buy regardless.

    I know it's because it has to store it in the back but I don't like how his gun is super tiny.

    That thing looks awesome. Not liking the Autobot logo placement on the trailer though.

    He looks a lot better in these pics. Nice head too. If this were about $100 cheaper, it'd be far more of a must have.

    Still don't dig the grill though.

    I'll wait for the Hasbro release this time. I don't wanna $200 test figure - made that mistake with MP-09. =(

    Looks like he has no thumb articulation, another wrong point IMO.

    I'm not saying "I will never buy it" and so but it really looks like MP-01 will stay the true Prime Masterpiece to me.

    Looks decent enough but I'm still waiting to be wowed by this. The alt mode is great, no question. Very realistic looking truck. But I rarely display my figs in alt mode so that charm of MP-10 is a bit lost on me. The bot mode.... there's just something about the proportions on this guy that bugs the crap out of me. The slightly slanted vents on his overly long ab faux grill is part of it; his obnoxiously huge cankle shins are another.

    All said and done, I'm perfectly happy with my Faith Leader, and have no use for the trailer. Glad I saved $275. Wake me when TakTom or Hasbro releases a trailerless version at a more sane price point.

    This looks awesome. I will never be able to afford it though. Hopefully a hasbro version will be available. Definite improvement.

    Hmm, MP-01 still looks better to me. Especially with the iGear head. Perfection!
    Curious about the Masterpieces that'll come after this one, especially if there's a new seeker mold coming.

    Needs side windows but other than that it's not bad.

    Pardon my language, but Takara have a pair of brass ones on them.

    They shrink the MP line to cut corners, then they turn out a smaller MP Convoy as if they're doing us a favour.

    So Takara, if you're so concerned about scale, why is MP Grimlock so small?

    Looks beautiful. The perfect Prime.
    I will own, but definitely waiting for a Hasbro release.
