A couple of years ago, Toys “R” Us had released an exclusive Transformers Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus Prime figure that was hard to come by. This new release has an all new paint scheme, clear trailer, a new matrix of leadership, but does not come with roller or the human mini-figure.
Availability: February 2014
Sculpt & Paint:
Optimus Prime is a reissue based on the Transformers Masterpiece MP-10, and includes an all new paint scheme. He is painted in the standard red and blue, gold-chrome exhaust pipes and other body parts, grey, silver, black, a translucent blue axe and a brown blaster. We’re not sure why Hasbro went with painting the blaster brown as opposed to black or grey as previous releases have been painted going all the way back to 1984. The colors choices are very good except for that brown blaster. We just can’t get passed that.
The trailer is also a reissue and is painted clear, blue and black, with a gold and red Autobot logo on the sides. Roller is noticeably absent here.
Articulation:
Standard for Masterpiece.
Accessories:
Axe, blaster, clear trailer, matrix of leadership.
Overall:
If you missed out on the last Toys “R” Us exclusive MP-10 release, then you should look at getting this one. Recently BigBadToyStore had a restock and it’s cheaper there at $119.99 compared to anywhere else.
Highly Recommended.
