>>6449564Which version are we talking about, there are 3 of them.
mp01 (to the right) is heavily outdated and was designed with the robot mode in mind, but has plenty of little gimmicks all over (led chest light, wrist communucators, a heavy abundance of diecast metal, etc), if you like them BIG go for this, but remember its very outdated (it can't pose as well as other newer transformers, plastic balljointed feet holding a mostly diecast upper body is a bad design choice)
mp10 (the left one) while far smaller and less gimmicks (no led's) it can pose far better (it can actually stand on one foot with good angling), features a good aesthetically appealing look in both modes that homage the original g1 toy and cartoon, and by default he comes with a trailer unless you buy one of his variants (mp01 didn't because he was so big they can you a cardboard box initially until a later more expensive release came after), still has diecast but its mostly used to be more sturdy and to balance him during poses rather than to just feel solid, having both of these I can say for the modern collector mp10 is best especially since all newer masterpieces scale with him (as his autobot comrades are all sized to fit in his trailer or to rival him such as the newer mp36 megatron), I highly reccomend mp10 unless you are swayed by mp01's gimmicks.
As for the new MOVIE MASTERPIECE optimus prime based on the michael bay design I lack him, but I have heard mixed results, finicky transformation with steps not properly mentioned in the manual, some sections are only half painted when they should be completely painted like his gas tanks, unpainted exposed diecast metal (that tarnishes easily) and some are subjective when it comes to his headsculpt, but he is scaled within the current mp design direction AND is compatible with mp10's trailer hitch, only downside for me personally is no proper weapon storage and the fact the old leader class toy is still good.
