>>7757168I was never going to buy MP-44, but if anything, all of this comparison posting has made me realize how fucking underrated MP-10 is. He's such a boss and has his own personality and identity that goes beyond just being accurate, and I think that's what I like most about him. He's not a perfect match to the cartoon or the original toy; he looks like the Optimus Prime we would have gotten if G1 happened in 2011 instead of 1984.
I also really prefer the more indigo-blue used on the Takara version. Something about bright blue on Optimus Prime never clicked with me, gives him too much of a patriot/Superman look.
