    I had the Hasbro MP-01 and remember hearing the buzz about MP-10, and when I finally saw it in person, it just looked all wrong like someone used Microsoft Paint, went to town on the vertical adjustment and scrunched him down so that his proportions are all wrong.

    I’m not sure why people think MP-01 is better than MP-10. I had Hasbro’s MP-01 from day 1, and I can honestly say that MP-10 is better. It’s more accurate to the cartoon. Not perfect, but closer. But, with the new Masterpiece Prime coming out, it’s EVEN more cartoon accurate than MP-10, and I can’t wait to have it in hand.

    In terms of proportions I think it's hard to argue that MP-10 is more toon accurate than MP-1. MP-1 represents show Prime was drawn in one of those transformation sequences that was reused a lot:

    There are certain details of MP-10 that are closer to the toon, like the general shape of the gas tanks, or I suppose the fact that the rear wheels are hidden (though not how they're hidden).

    MP-10 was designed to be an amalgamation between toy and toon filtered through a modern lens. And it does that really well. I always felt like MP-1 was a pretty great 'updated' toon Optimus, though. Still do.

    Hound looks excellent. Lots of cartoon memories. It will be an honour to plot the defeat of those pesky Autobots when they look this good!

    I still love that figure. I still own it, and won’t sell it. Same with my MP-10

    Yeah. The proportions seem much more accurate. It’s a great Jeep mode overall.

    Exactly how i felt. I know i WAS psyched to get it up until i had it in hand, as Takara did a good job making me want it but once in hand it did not pass my love for MP-1. I dont hate it thouth.

    To be honest im glad Takara is making cartoon figures (with the 1984-87 human characters! I might add!) like Hound, Bumblebee, & Optimus Prime! I remember wanting cartoon figures my entire collecting career. 23 years since i graduated.

    Hell yeah bro! Its my favorite TOY out of all my toylinew in many decades. The BODY of TE-01 was close but the head ruined it.

    MP-10 isnt more accurate to the cartoon. The ONLY official cartoon figure Optimus Prime other then MP-44, is MP-1. MP-10 has nothing on him that looks like sunbow cartoon & every detail besides maybe color in a few spots on MP-1, like shins & yellow arrows on forearms, is spot on to the original cartoon. ;) 

    Edited missing word*

    Really feels like forever. And that will be impacted even more for people that order from places that close for the holidays in Asia.

    That is a pattern I’d like to see more of. Did I just create an oxymoron?

    Nope, sorry. It’s a redundancy, if anything.

    Perhaps doubling down on the pattern. I’ll spin this somehow.

    Now that\'s a respectable robo-gun! I hope MP Hound comes with it this first edition.
