    MS-01 is more to replace the MP 10, and the TE-01 is more to challenge and compete with the MP-44. I personally like MS-01 better, bulkier, more accurate, more articulation.

      If you compare TE to the animation model it's actually more cartoon accurate than the MS one though. MS-01 is almost too pretty to be really fully cartoon accurate.
      But I can understand why people would like MS-01 better with the bulkier look, and it's certainly got an edge where it comes to articulation. Plus it combines a mostly cartoon accurate look with elements from the original G1 toy, such as the silver panels on his chest/cab.

  • @tatt4music

    MS-01 is a fun toy but TE-01 is such a much higher quality and feel.
    Once you have it in hand, you can’t deny how impressive it is.

    Thanks for the review. I just picked this up on eBay. Although I will keep him in Bot Mode, TE-01 has the best Truck/Cab mode. With Magic Square and MP-10 you see his pelvis in Truck mode which ruins the illusion of being a truck while Transform Element nailed it.

  • @Fishy_VA
    @Fishy_VA 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I would say, for the price, the transform element Optimus prime (especially with the new head sculpt from the 2nd release) is the best one. It looks almost exactly like the G1 cartoon design, the proportions, the aesthetics, and the accessories. The magic square takes too many things from mp10, and is very stylized (If that’s what you prefer, that’s great, this is just my opinion). The mp44 is great for toon accuracy and proportionality, and I would even say it is more accurate in some places than transform element’s prime. But I think it is WAY too expensive, even for a masterpiece figure of its level. Transform element, in my opinion is the best buy.

    • @EKOddLink
      @EKOddLink 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's honestly a hard choice for me. I actually like the stylized look of the Magic Square, especially the head sculpt. The figure has a nice smooth build, and I don't know what it is but the plastic looks like it has that soft texture to it.
      But the Transform element is *undeniably* more animation accurate, and that matrix chambers accuracy blows MP 44's out of the water. But theres something I can't shake off that whenever I look at the Transform element it just feels cheaper than both MS01 and MP 44. Maybe it's the way the glossy sheen looks, or how some details are a little too smooth, but when I compare videos and pictures of MS 01 and TE 01, TE 01 just runs me the wrong way. But still a great figure
      As for MP44, honestly, without the Trailer and more importantly the voice gimmick, I wouldn't even entertain the idea of choosing that over these. All the lines and folds present from the overly complex transformation really drag down the aesthetics of the figure in both modes...

    I had bought the Magic Square first but it wasn't toon enough for me so I decided to buy this one and I have to say I like it much more than Magic Square. You have to see both figures in person to really see how nice the TE version is. TE has better toon proportions and some real nice heft to him. Both are nice but I kept the TE version.

  • @Knightfall-Batman
    @Knightfall-Batman 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There is something I’ve noticed about the magic square version as well as the MP 10 that I think no one else has noticed. What I’ve noticed about the magic square and MP 10 is that their design is based off Optimus prime in the dream wave comics.
    I figured this because there is more color and detail on them, and the fact that MP10 can house his gun in his backpack like he did in the dreamwave comics. Assuming anyone else remembers that

    • @greensakana2673
      @greensakana2673 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I kinda see what you mean, and I like the stripes on the cab for MS. But overall, the DW comics had those kinda strange proportions and a unique head, it's a little hard for me to see it as Dreamwave inspired (like the first Revoltech is).

  • @TechMumboStudios

    @jeroenmeester9528 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Have you seen Bobby Skullface's comparison between these 2 too?
    In vehicle mode I like TE better, but in bot mode MS blows him away.
    I've recently started watching the G1 cartoons again, and the white parts of TE are actually too light, MS might be too dark, but is certainly closer, I have so far not seen a shot in the cartoon where they really were white.
    The extra weight that TE has might not be beneficial, if it's high up it hinders poseability, if it's in the legs it boosts poseability.

    • @Dan14thPrime

    • @jeroenmeester9528
      @jeroenmeester9528 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      In general TE is more screen accurate, but I'm uncertain about the colour of his tights, I also think he looks better behind the windows in his chest, but purely going by images and reviews I think I like MS better.
      I don't know which has the better price either, but if I'd buy a new Optimus Prime right now it would be MS if the prices are similar.

  • @MentasmUK
    @MentasmUK 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    TE-01 destroys MS-01. I have the first run, which lacks the second head (although I have that on order as it's a better sculpt) and has fewer teeth on the hip ratchets. It also has silver die cast knee ratchets, rather than the blue nylon ratchets used in the second run. Of those things, only the hip ratchets annoy me, but not enough to buy another copy. Honestly, it's a great animation accurate Prime. The lack of thigh swivels is lamentable, but it doesn't prevent it from pulling off some nice poses. The alt mode is really nice as well, although I display my figures in bot mode.
    I still think MP-44 looks good from the front and will undoubtedly offer the best articulation, but that backpack and insane RRP have discounted it for me.

    You completely missed the extreme amounts of shoulder poseability in the Magic Square's shoulders and the complete lack of it in the OP Leader, and simply put every joint they share the Magic Square's copy goes abut twice as far.
    And if you like toon accuracy I'd argue that all the needless sculpted detail on the OP makes it significantly less toon accurate in that mode.
    Lastly I can't fathom how you can like the OPs transformation. Smooth? That craps clunky fiddly and annoying. Got the thigh panels are the stuff of nightmares, and getting everything to fit into the truck mode is a PAIN.
    Sure the MS wrist flaps are a little annoying, but the rest of it as an absolute Joy.
    So while the MS wrists can be a faff, the OP is nothing but a faff.

      To each his own. To me MS is a slight improvement over a 10+ year old MP-10. OPLE was something innovative and big step forward. What you prefer is your choice but clearly innovative design, lines and engineering are more in the TEOP and MP44 camp and MS feels dated 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for checking out the video 🤙

      @@PerspectiveEnd I’ve said it many times before. I don’t need one to “win.” I’ve owned them all at one point. TEOP and MP44 are clearly, objectively on another level than MS. It’s clear in toon accuracy, especially sculpt, and light years in innovation. Just look at leg transformation, MS still uses old MP10 style. CHUG figures these days are more innovative. Nothing subjective about that. You’re welcome to your opinion, but it’s in the minority. The community clearly has TEOP and MP44 as top two. I’ve done enough videos and seen enough comments to gather that. You have to back up and make an overall assessment. No one’s saying MS is bad, or doesn’t have its bright spots, but just not on the same level overall. That’s all. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤙

      @@Dan14thPrime No they're not. I own both my self, and you're just wrong.
      They are Objectively significantly worse than the MS.
      MS Poses better. Flat out. No arguments can be made to the contrary.
      Forward Butterfly, backwards butterfly, Abb Crunch, Back Crunch, toe up, toe down, knees elbows and shoulders with miles more range.
      There is no arguing that point. None.
      Transformation is more logical with fewer fiddly steps and it's less likely to break with better quality plastics.
      Sure the OP has cast metal parts but metal doesn't automatically mean strong nor good, and that metal waist on mine has put stress marks on the crotch where it drops down.
      The amount more the other two look like the cartoon is Maybe 5%, but that parts subjective so we shouldn't even try to argue that.
      But there is no denying that at the very least the MS is Leagues more accurate than the MP10.
      The simple fact of the matter is, you are putting an excessively high value on something that does not intrinsically have value.
      Yes it is perfectly fine to love that figure, if you HATE the MS that is PERFECTLY FINE,
      *But* the MS is Objectively better at posing, Easier to Transform, made out of superior materials, I mean just look at the difference of rubber used for the tires to tell which one spent the money on quality materials.
      I say all this as someone who owns both and doesn't dislike either of them, in any way.
