Product Description

It's finally here the long-awaited and highly anticipated Masterpiece Optimus Prime (Convoy) with Trailer!! This highly detailed recreated in die-cast metal and plastic parts. Not your ordinary Hasbro Transformer. This version is highly poseable -- even his fingers are individually jointed! The vents on his legs open and close; the windows on his chest open to reveal his 'matrix'. And of course he transforms from Robot Mode to Vehicle Mode, flawlessly! Included weapons are his Energy Axe, Megatron Gun, and Laser Rifle; also included is a paper craft container (the inner box is printed and meant to be broken down to form the 'trailer' of the truck - instructions are on the sides), and a set of joint parts

This review is from: Transformers Optimus Prime + Trailer Masterpiece MP-04 Action Figure (Toy)

First, note that this is NOT for children! It can be considered a toy, yes, but it's really more of a collector's item. Most people that have this probably put it up somewhere for display.

Made of die-cast metal and plastic, this is THE definitive Optimus Prime toy. The transformation is complicated, but after a few times you'll get the hang of it. The detail on this figure is quite impressive, with fully moveable fingers, a moving mouthpiece, and all of his weapons (including the energy ax seen in the first episode). He even comes with a miniature transformed Megatron (in gun form to be held in his hand) for the few times the two have had to team up together.

The MP-04 comes with an actual plastic trailer, as opposed to the MP-01 which had no trailer. The trailer is large enough to fit an alternator/binaltech transformer in vehicle mode (maybe two), and has a gun that can poke out over the top in vehicle mode.

All in all this is hands-down the best Transformer ever, and its diecast metal makes it surprisingly durable. The memories that this toy will bring to fans of the original are priceless, and it is quite worth the cost. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest transformer ever cartoon or toy., November 2, 2006

This review is from: Transformers Optimus Prime + Trailer Masterpiece MP-04 Action Figure (Toy)

"Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." Optimus Prime Masterpiece-04 is a transformer that all diehard 80's transfomers fans should have in there collection. I've been waiting to get this for a long time. Optimus Prime is one of the main reasons why the 80't cartoon show was so sucessful and when people hear the word "Transformer" most of the time he is the first to pop in their minds. The leader of the autobots is just as great as ever before. Made out of part metal and plastic this adult toy is just super-tight. Comes complete with laser gun, megatron gun, laser battle axe, trailer, and the removable autobot matrix equipted in his chest. The transformation seems difficult at first, but is actuall easy and intintive after doing it about twice.

I'm going to by the Starscream MP-03 next and I also heard of a Megatron MP-05 coming soon that transforms into an oversized MP38. I hoping the Takara comes out with a lot more of these. I would love to see a MasterPiece Soundwave, Ironhide, and all the constructacons the form a huge devestator. From other reviews I believe that the Starscream MP-03 will be as good as the Optimus Prime MP-04. "Autobots transform and rollout."

This review is from: Transformers Optimus Prime + Trailer Masterpiece MP-04 Action Figure (Toy)

Only complaint is plastic parts stick and don't work like they're supposed to - I want to exert some force on it but was afraid it was going to break. However, I have only 'transformed' Optimus one time and I am hoping that after a few transformations it will loosen up some. The problem I had was on the leg, when I pressed the fuel tank it wouldn't release the leg to slide into truck-mode. Overall I am very impressed with it. Every detail was thought out. The tires are rubber, the wheels have shocks, his head has a moveable mouth button on the back of his head, and the weapons store in the trailer. Travel back 20 years and remember the original Optimus - it was never this cool!
