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

Looks good for a super bright cartoony budget version of the figure. Next to the Takara version, though, it just looks like a miscolored KO.

In some ways it definitely is.

Although overall I think they're pretty close...considering the significant price difference.

Don't care if the blue is dark or not, it still looks great! Coming on word that this might be a wide release also bodes well for seeing a good price on it. Now instead of $100 I'm seeing a potential for $80-$90, even if that means waiting for it to go on sale somewhere.

I want this so bad!! Put me down for 2!!!!

Wow Hasbro's is better. That light blue is nice!

Yeah, that's a must buy Like the bold colour scheme, love the painted eyes. I can live with the interior of the trailer not being painted. I might even spray it myself.

I`ll put my vote at Takara, I hate that light blue...sorry....

My "Battle Damaged" MP-01 Will always be Optimus Prime in my collection. I intend on getting Hasbro's MP-10 as an upgrade for Convoy, my Vintage Powermaster Optimus Prime.

There's a lot I like about MP-10, including his flexibility and Dearth of accessories (Trailer FTW) But MP-01 is still taller, heavier, has individual finger articulation, is less streamlined than his successor, and mine has the shorter smokestacks. Makes MP-01 a much better upgrade body for my Reissue Generation 1 Optimus Prime. MP-10 is the upgrade body for Convoy, my vintage Powermaster Optimus Prime, because He's smaller, lighter, more flexible, more streamlined, and more Japanese-looking than his predecessor (when I first got Powermaster Optimus Prime, my first comment was "wow, this guy looks SO Japanese" since he reminded me of the Robot Santa from The Simpsons)
(yes, I realize the "Japanese Version" of Powermaster Optimus Prime is Super God Ginrai, but I work with what I have and I don't have Super God Ginrai, and he's more expensive)
He also has the longer smokestacks like my vintage Powermaster Optimus Prime.

So basically the overall color scheme for the Takara version is darker. The trailers look the same.
