MP-01/04 are superior to MP-10 in my book. They are all cool, but I love the size and die-cast of the early releases.

I can't wait for my HT Prime!

I respect that. I love my MP01 because he was the first high end Optimus Prime ever made, but MP10 is truly the best all around Prime, IMO of course.

Tf's mf'in rock, period.

I like them all, but MP-10 is so much smaller and feels cheaper since it's all plastic. I was really bummed out when I first got MP-10. It grew on me over time, but I just love the earlier ones. Maybe it's because I also collect Soul of Chogokin, and I really love metal collectibles.

This looks amazing but why not include his trademark gun?

I agree,MP-10 is the best presentation of G1 Optimus so if you're looking for accuracy go MP-10.Allthough it is smaller and might look a little cheap compared to HT's paint apps.But i feel like i have the best Optimus in MP-10 so im happy if that's the only Optimus i will ever have,unless Prime1 decide to go G1 and make a big statue.
Love HT's take on him,but the Starscream parts which raised the price tag to 340$ wasn't their smartest move imo.

Pleasure.

I did wonder as the post was so negative over a choice.

Great pics!

Any pics of this guy with other MP transformers?

HotBallsJohnson · Aug 4, 2015

I want to hear a review (same with 3a's bee). These are the first transformers either company released and we need to know how strong the joints are. Can Prime hold his blaster/starscream guns straight out or up? Pretty critical to knowing whether this is 350$ wasted or not

Found this review in OSR..

Grimlock · Aug 4, 2015

Nice video. Makes me even more excited to get this. Do we get the Starscream head?

Agh but he never explicitly mentions the arm strength and holding ability and spent less than a minute on the arm articulation. You'd think strong joints would be a major talking point. I mean its the difference between a statue or one of the many transforming versions. Anyone who has this figure already can you chime in?

I want this but I would like to know if they will continue the line or at the very least give us megatron.
If it's a one and done I will reluctantly have to pass.

What's the difference? Different guns?

found some photos on another forum, shows that he can hold the gun pretty well.
