@@Shanali-ry1nl I regreting waiting for mp44. After see the review of mp44. Not so happy about it. Main reason is the knee problems. And paint chipping. Now I will try to get TE 01. Version 2 or 3 I don't care. I want that movie head one
@@bphater31 Yeah, because like Emgo said, TE-01 could be "a cheaper and easier to afford" MP-44 if you didn't know any better and needed to, it really is a perfect alternative, depending on how you look at it.
Its amazing they they managed to perfect the deceptive unkibbley design of the character model, down to the flared out "boots" and head sculpt that seemed to change size when moving on the screen.Great figure!
Indeed. This model is the most cartoon-accurate Optimus Prime figure ever released and the perfect example of what the original generation 1 toy should have been like.
@@Anakunus I wouldn't go that far. MP-44, with the exception of the voice box on his back, is the most cartoon accurate version on the market. This is a close second though.
MP-44 wishes it could look this good/clean, in either mode. And since I couldn't care less about $300 worth of accessories other than the essentials (rifle and axe), this satisfies my need for a MP Optimus 3.0 perfectly.
Imo, the essentials are axe, gun, trailer with ainti aircraft gun and roller, and a battle damaged waist peice and head to recreate primes death. This one is missing some accessories, while mp44 gave us too many.
Man! I gotta say : While my MP-10 will most likely remain my favorite Optimus Prime figure forever for its realism, these newer models are getting more and more cartoon accurate and are very, VERY impressive ways!
But that OP Leader figure looks MP-44ish, and the head that comes installed when you buy that figure doesn't look anything like MP-44's head, which is why they redesigned the head piece to make it look like MP-44's head and also cartoon accurate.
I’ve had this figure for about a week and wow! I don’t understand all the gripes about the transformation. Yes it’s complex but it’s a fun transformation. And it looks so good in both modes, you get it down after a couple of times. It’s a solid build and a great value for what it is. Great review, Emgo. Glad I got this.
It’s getting to the point where I can almost perfectly lip sync along with the first two minutes of your videos Em, which I LOVE. Keep doing what you do, as it makes me smile. Thankyou for being you. 👍🏾 Greetings from the UK. Cheers
@@BetaMinusDecay The first time it's played in the film is when Optimus arrives on Earth and proclaims that Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost, so it's as much his theme as Rodimus Prime's.
The designer (Iron Star) must be some sort of wizard to deliver two completely clean, largely toon accurate modes like that. Destroys the competition in my eyes. Magic Square is too bulky and basically just a modernised MP-10, while MP-44 looks like a panelled mess from every angle bar the front, has a huge backpack and is insultingly overpriced. This is brilliantly engineered and actually looks like the thing it's supposed to represent. I have the first run and there are a few subtle differences to this version. The main ones are the lack of the new head sculpt (but that's currently on its way to me) and the different colour/functionality of the hip and knee ratchets. The original figure has grey hip ratchets and die cast knees, whereas they went with blue nylon for the second batch. There are also more teeth on the newer ratchets, which gives slightly more clicks (an extra one forwards and backwards) on the hips, but I don't think it has much effect on the poseability. I prefer the die cast knees of the first run from an aesthetic view though. The arm ratchets could have done with more teeth as well, although you can cheat those. About the only thing I do miss is thigh rotation, but again it's possible to cheat with the knees. Mine also has a slightly floppy left toe, which was apparently an issue with the first run. It's not really a problem though. I don't get the criticism about complexity either. Sure there are quite a few steps, but nothing at all difficult and at no point does it feel like it's going to break, unlike many figures I've handled (a lot of Fans Toys recent output, for example). Definitely my figure of the year so far and it'll be tough to beat, pound for pound. I like it so much I almost bought a second one, but decided that was lunacy.
Chris Gould You can blame Takara for demoting Hasui and giving the driving seat back to Kobayashi for the panelled mess that is MP-44. But on a side note, at least Kobayashi did give us better articulated MP figures. All in all though, I still rate TE-01 more highly than the upcoming MP-44.
I just received this today. You have to see it in person to truly see how nice it is. I had bought the Magic Square version first but this one is much nicer. It has heft to it and feel much more solid. A very nice version that comes with a second head.
If you haven't picked this up yet do it. This is what masterpiece transformers should look like. This company really knocked it out the park with this one. I also have magic square prime which I really love but this is better. Now.....TE let's roll out a shattered glass version and really make the competition quiver In their boot heels😎
Wow what a great optimus prime figure. I didn't think it transformed til I decided to watch the video and I'm glad I did. The engineering is amazing and brings back that g1 80s nostalgia to the fullest. Love it :)
Glad i have it.. The best looking optimus in truck and bot mode with a reasonable price tag tht won't burn a hole in your pocket like the MP 44.Thank you emgo as always great review! 👍
mp-44 uses the same grill in robot and alt mode, this doesn't. that alone is a deal breaker to me. makes no sense that prime would have two grills, one functional and one just for looks.
@@volcanicred9078 Did you mean MS? MP-44 doesn't use the same grill. And since Prime's robot mode grill looks so different from the vehicle grill, I think the swap is necessary for the best possible looks. Heck, even MS's grill rotates 180 degrees.
Anyone notice when he's showing the feet articulation how the knee joint stays in place as he's holding it with one hand...I absolutely love this figure, although I do suspect it's a mp-44 ko.
MP-44 is known to have the sides of the cab fold up into the legs (which is partly visible in all demonstrations shown so far as red flecks near his feet). It also appears to have the front of the truck cab flip over to his back. This [TE-01] has neither of those things, together with a lot of other unique engineering, so it there's any MP-44 in it than it's strictly the base design.
@@asterchades thanks for that...I only saw the one image of mp-44's transformation and thought TE01 looked similar. Then with bigbadtoystore not carrying, I took a shot at saying it out loud
What an overkill transformation it looks more like a puzzle rather than a transformers. So manny steps just to look like any other Optimus prime out their.
The worthy alternative to have in your collection if you're on a budget and you can't afford MP-44, or if MP-44 was not as great as you hoped it would be.
I'd have to decal the autobot symbol, and I'd probably repaint the side windows but this is just the best masterpiece style gen 1 optimus I've seen period.
Excellent review! So glad you decided to pick this up. I highly recommend the cartoon accurate outline clean Autobot logo from Toyhax, second to the largest. Matches MP36 in scale and really sets the figure off quite well. Bravo sir! Excellent review as always.
I always wanted the masterpiece Optimus Prime, but never could get it due to its price. Hell seeing this one I really have no hesitation, it’s so clean and so beautiful and screams G1 cartoon
First, the ways you transform are all detailed, that's a plus, 2nd, dont get annoyed if there if it's getting tough, they were done with a purpose, try building your own abd lrt other try to transform it.
Your skits are getting better and better. I so got the feeling this time there was real argument with two really good thoughts behind them as if it.where two of them fighting lol.grat job keep them coming man! 👍
1) This is literally the most cartoon accurate version of Optimus I have ever seen. 2) Emgo, I have a personal question: Have you ever had a Transformer with a more complicated leg transformation?
I remember all of the battery powered G1 Transformers and they all had a lot of inherent flaws they would break after certain period of time it didn't matter what would happen they would all just stop working I don't have any expectation that any of the new electronics they put in any of the new action figures would last very long
so I know everybody is thinking it so I'm just going to say it Emgo you should be the writer / director of any new transformers movies. I love you skits.
I've been describing them as Magic Square is an update/upgrade of MP-10 while Transform Element was aiming for the same goal as MP-44, and I feel TE appears to have done a better job (final look in both modes, don't know about the transformation yet) than Takara.
From all the pictures I've seen of MP-44, it wouldn't be far off the mark to say the opposite. That MP-44 is the closest to this. Seriously, I don't know where this company came from or whose design this is but I think this may be the first 3rd party figure I've seen that just completely destroys the official offering.
Why is the transformation looks more complicated when done by others? Now I can actually see the beauty of this figure's engineering. Now I'm torn between TE and MS. But thanks EMGO for this video.
If you haven't made up your mind, this one is the best. Ms has a terrible truck mode, doesn't have a matrix chamber, has a weird head sculpt, and has some wacky proportions. Both are some of the greatest, but I think this one is way better
Hey Emgo, there is now way I will be able to get MP-44 (boy would i love to though) and most of the MP-10 seems to be harder to find than I would like at a price that is usually much too high. Out of the third party G1 primes which one would you recommend in their absence? This one, Magic square, one of the third party mp-10s like the mp-10v, something else? I have all the studio series Primes (save the DOTM version of course) and I have the amazing Siege Prime so I am content if need be, but I would love to pick up a nicer version just cause I can.
I actually really appreciate the lack of paint on this figure because there will be no chipping and the transformation is beautifully done
Yeah, because sometimes it's okay for a figure to lack paint, and this figure already looks perfect anyway.
It's already cartoon accurate👍
