    And despite all that he's still king.

    MP-10 deserve to be king of pre-toon centric collection. No lie.

    He will probably end up as just a truck :lol .

    In my collection as the main Masterpiece Optimus Prime.

    Yes thank you! He was really really reasonably priced and yet people still think it's trash and way too expensive. Issues yes but for the size and complexity the price was excellent.

    And I definitely think there's plenty of room for an MPM OT Optimus 2.0. They could do a lot to improve that figure, especially the headsculpt, they could rework it to be the dotm version, make better shoulder pads, and include more accessories.
    That....sucks.
    But this is good news that makes it better!

    Honestly was never an mp-10 fan. I always liked mp-01 more. I'm impressed with mp-44 and both 3rd party options. Mp-10 just felt under engineered and more of a leader class than masterpiece. Just my opinion and I'm aware that it's an unpopular one. Mpm-12 looks like a fun prime getting back on topic. Will purchase.

    How is the articulation overall? Does it have a lot of articulation?

    Not hyper articulated but enough to do good posing.

    That's awesome. What confuses me is why was the windows dark amber looking on other pictures. Were the blue windows from Takara while the amber from Hasbro in the US?

    I guess considering what an utterly pathetic truck mode MPM BB Optimus has, that's not surprising.

    Not a bad use, considering they are supposed to be based off of the same truck (I think)

    @Phamduc sorry for the bother, but I just thought of one more question. How tall is this guy? MPM4 Optimus size? MP10/mp44 Optimus size?

    On a side note, I FINALLY grabbed a MPM-7 so I'm looking forward to posing these guys together!

    @Phamduc how bright are the eyes, are they as dim as they look in the official pics/videos so far? Also do the cat ears in truck mode serve any purpose in robot mode?

    I’m chopping those damn ears off first thing … consequences be damned. They are an affront to sentient beings throughout the galaxy

    Freedom is the right of all sentient beings... and that includes the right for Prime to pose as a catboy. :p

    Eye need intense light source to properly light up , you can easily diassemble the head to paint eye with sky blue or mix metallic blue with white. I did.
    Cat ear serve no purpose. If third party want to add upgrade , it will be full shoulder replacement because there is springloaded mechanism
