Masterpiece Optimus Prime & Takara-Tomy MP-10 Convoy Compared

primetime77 · 07-23-2012, 04:31 PM

need better photos to see the actual colors/finish etc. the pictures from sdcc did look better. As for what is more "accurate", it would depend ont eh episode and "lighting" during the scene. Certainly fans of g1 TOY optimus wil note takaras is faithful to the toy as well as the animation whil the hasbro one is accuarte to certain episodes as well as teh marvel comic blue. spike is obviously better in the hasbro version. blue roller is better too (like the g1 toy!). i have a takara and i'm geting one of these too (at least 1), though i prefer the takara (as of right now but that may change). one thing is the takara one's finish is remarkable.

I like that his eyes are painted and he doesn't look dead like Takara's but you know the rule if he aint gray he's a okay.

Overall differances I see from the Takara Version

Eyes are painted light blue
All of the Red seems slightly brighter
All of the blue is lighter including the truck windows
Painted Lights above the trucks cab
The Yellow on his waist is slightly darker
The inside of the trailer doesn't have silver sides.
Rollor is blue
Spike has some vary minor paint changes

Also, Hasbro's version lacks the silver detailing along the wheel wells in truck mode.

I thought so too but a different angled shot made it seem there just really faint.

That's just a little bit of paint showing from the pieces that become the silver stripes on his torso in robot mode. At some angles, the portion that becomes part of the torso in robot mode is revealed. The actual molded detail for the area around his wheel wells in vehicle mode isn't painted on this like it is on the Takara version though. Not really a flaw, just another difference worth noting.

Works wonders for me. Easily a 9.5 out of 10, and I will be happy to take that home and place on my shelf, booting Battle Damage Hasbro MP01 out the door and on his way to ebay.

so far I can see....
Spike similar but different in the face and arms
Roller is blue
lighter blue replaces the darker blue
painted yellow rights on the cab
eyes seem lighter

Don't forget the Trailor interior is grey unpainted plastic.

I've been debating if I should get the Takara version or the Hasbro one. I definitely like the Hasbro version 10 times more better. So I'm getting it.

There could never be a replacement for the epicness of mp01.
These pics make me like the Takara version better. But the pics from the conventions made me like the us version better. I think these pics are not very good and don't do the us version justice
