    Depends on pricing / quality / finish-paint if I get TE-1 or MS-1.

    MS-1 looks very playable, and sculpt is nice, but looks like matte red / blue, and not glossy or well painted like most other MP cars... it's like the think mp and legends should be similar material / finish...

    TE-1 looks very pristine and I like the overall look, but have nothing to go on what quality it could possibly have... with ms I at least know their legends figure.

    As for Takara, looks great and all, but it will be over 300$, so it will never be purchased by me. I do hope IT and THF do ko of just the cab. At 100$ I would buy, similar for the Megatron.

    MS-01 all the way. Don't know anything about the design/build/material quality, but as far as looks alone, MS-01 beats them all.

    I'll agree that the MS looks good, but there's just something... off about it. Everything seems to be "not quite right" in a manner that, when taken as a whole, is off-putting.
    That's just me though. By no means does it look BAD, and anyone getting it is going to have a worthwhile representation of Prime.

    The Element one looks even more off to me. The face sculpt reminds me more of the toy version of Prime than the animation model, so there's something to that perhaps.
    But overall the design and engineering feel like something we'd have seen much earlier in the 3P MP game, not something from 2018/2019.

    For me, despite the inevitable price point I'm going to go with the Takara. It's the only one that i look at and see a definitive upgrade to and improvement over MP-10. More cohesive design, more animation accurate, better articulated.

    I only have primorion. I like V3, but it looks like he has hollow elbows like megatron. I like MS-01 legs ( but not his pelvis and crotch), but his face looks dopey or blank. TE-01 looks fine. nothing to write home about. Is there an anti firing missile law or something? If I pay over 75 dollars for a figure, i need to have the threat of putting an eye out. Toyworld Devy is the only missile launcher I have that works. Didnt wheelie launch out of the cab , the original g1 toy?

    There will likely be a KO war, similar to megatron, and i'll purchase on of those. it will make improvements and be 75$.

    Fuck spring loaded launchers.

    And you are aiming some miles too low on that KO price. No way he will be $75, if the official is $300.

    Primorion was a homage to the Studio OX design, so to me at least he is in a different ballpark. Plus, he is kinda taller than usual MP leaders.

    Well you can buy THF KO’s of MP-36 for that price or even less... and I’m pretty sure IT is around that ball park as well.

    This thread is unnecessary. There are already threads for each of the listed figures.

    Guess it only makes sense to throw up a preview video of the MS offering



    I do like the shoulder proportion of the TE version though. They shouldn't be mp10 big

    I've loved the MS offering since it was first revealed. TE just doesn't look that good to me. It leaves a lot to be desired IMHO. I really hope MS's smokestacks can be moved further back. they are too far forward on the arms for my liking. Everything else is perfect for me though.

    MP 3oth anniversary (3.0) looks really great to me as well. But I'm not looking forward to the eventual 400+ price tag for it. It's going to be hard for so many of the average income fans (myself included) To obtain him though. :( 

    Lewin-01 Atlas(Wei-Jiang KO of MP-10) thus far is my Definitive Prime.

    I’m sorry but you need better pics. That MP v3 pic makes it look like ass. If you can’t find decent pics for all three then I would say this poll was a bit premature if you wanted an even playing field.

    Kinda like asking me to vote for a Miss Universe finalist when one of them is in their trackies and no make up. :sly2:

    Magic square looks the best imo simple and clean , seemingly great articulation , ab crunch and optional battle dmg parts . Truck bed is a little off as it doesn’t seem to be trailer adaptable as usual , got spoiled by other renditions of prime for that .

    Transform element while being clean in both mode seems feels a little unpolished in design to me , and that shiny silver paint for the heals sculpt breaks the integrity of it imo . Sadly I thought it looked great in grey model.

    Takara seemed to have sacrificed way too much of the general shape and sculpt for articulation , not too sure how I feel about it. Maybe in colour it would be camouflaged appropriately , but in grey model the moving parts reminds me too much of a revoltech figure and not in a good way .

    OP had at least two different heads in s01/02.
    V3 captures very well one of them... But it is not my favourite one unluckily.
    They should give an alternative head, like Inferno, because it actually changed during the series so you can't be perfectly toon accurate with only one head LOL.

    Overall I prefer MS proportions, by far. But there are to many things we don't know yet.
