    Wow. Amazing paint job, and it's also pretty impressive that all those details are there just waiting to be brought out by a paint job like this. Easily one of the most beautiful Transformers I've ever seen. It'll break my heart when I get one of these MP-10's, knowing that it will never look this great!

    THE BEEEESSSSTTTT detailed paint job on a TF I have EVER seen! MAAAAD SKILLZ, often wondered why there hasn't been a TF with a paint job on the level of a highly detailed model, i mean there are a LOT of really great customizers but none match this job

    Always been a fan of your metallic repaints of Prime, man. This is the best of the series IMO. :)

    I must say that I respectfully disagree with sq7 here, while I can see the point in some of the critiques like the red being a bit too dark, I think it should be noted that the artist was working in the context of a more realistic version of optimus prime, a feat that he achieved to the point that as others have commented should be considered proof that the G1 aesthetic can be used even for the live action movies, whereas if he would have gone with a lighter color would have not been achieved so effectively here, same with the gray details on the feet and autobot symbol, they all work together to form a beautiful piece of art. I think that sometimes we have to look at the sum of all things as they come together on a particular piece and what context it falls upon, instead of picking at minute details that while may not work for some people, are not necessarily taking away from the artwork either, I can honestly say that I would take this version of optimus prime as the live action version than the one michael bay gave us. Fantastic piece of art right here! :)

    Whoever said G1-design are not suitable for big screen should be shoved this gallery,
    maybe the real actual figure, heck do a comic-strip / stop-motion video with it

    Please please please let this be in TF4


    p/s : I *knew* buying MP10 is NOT a mistake, thanks Xeltecon

    Wow! You made Optimus look real. I've never seen a repaint this nice. It looks so much better than the original.

    Yup MP-10 is totally worth it: great toy, looks great, fun to transform, very durable, holds together better than MP-01/04 or any other MP despite being mostly plastic, he wouldn't be so posable if he has that much diecast. Unfortunately they do seem to come with various quality issues out of the box, my first MP-10 (repainted one) came with one of his back left wheels completely broken off. Fortunately my 2nd one is perfect!

    I will not lie, when I saw the thumbnail, I could have sworn this was a full-sized truck. The minute details you brought out all over the figure and its accessories like Roller and the trailer...just...just WOW.
