    Takara MPM 04 from the TRU Movie Prime Masterpiece counterpart? From what Ive seen, both boxes look the same, both say Takara Tommy and Hasbro, so how to know if I buy them off ebay?

    Hasbro version has "Optimus Prime" printed on the bottom right corner.

    On the Takara version that's in Japanese text instead.

    The Takara Tomy logo on the top right of the Takara version appears to be more of a Navy than the sky(ish) blue on the Hasbro one. (?)
