Thanks to a new post to by TFND on Facebook's member Robin Lee we have a veritable convoy of new details and images for the new MP-44 Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime 3.0! This is one mean Masterpiece coming with a bevy of accessories including Sideswipe's jetpack, new blast effects for said jetpack, a Starscream head and air intake shoulder mounting 'disguise' harkening back to the G1 cartoon episode Megatron's Master Plan Part 1, the iconic axe, ion rifle, spare faces to reflect greater cartoon show accuracy and poor Prime's smashed up mug from his battle with Megatron (MP-36's matching battle damage) from the 1986 animated movie. I'm out of breath and that's barely covering half the features this thing comes with. He even comes with an audio soundbox feature with newly recorded lines by the character's original Japanese voice actor Tesshō Genda!

Man, that thing really does look beautiful. If there wasn't a certain planet expense coming up shortly I would totally bite. Maybe they'll do a later run with less accessories at some point. One can hope at least.

Perusing Facebook this evening, this news crew member came across a link to a YouTube video that contains some VERY interesting and unexpected news. From its announcement, Masterpiece Optimus Prime 3.0 was only ever confirmed to have voice clips, newly recorded, from his original Japanese voice actor, Tesshō Genda. However, this recently posted video, from YouTube channel ThreeStar Star, demonstrates that not only does he include clips from Transformers voice acting legend Peter Cullen, but he also includes.... well, watch the video and find out!



While the inclusion of English voice and sound clips hasn't been officially confirmed, it certainly looks as though they'll be part of the figure. We'll likely find out soon, as MP-44 is set to be released in Japan on Saturday.

What do you think, Seibertronians? Does this up your desire to get this figure? Let us know in the forums below!

Side by side with MP-36, finally --

Amazing. Took only 30 something years.


And comparison with the alternatives; the one on the right is the closest in appearance to MP-44, especially after they KOed the head sculpt --

That backpack though, heh. I understand what they were going for with this release -- a robot-mode that is totally cartoon-accurate and a truck-mode that's somewhat realistic. But I still wonder if a second grill was really necessary again. I guess we'll see how it feels.

Like I said before, I've been having fun with the SIEGE figures in the last few months, figures that I can transform back and forth on a whim, and that still have good likeness to the cartoon. So seeing this Optimus Prime basically explodes and turned inside out.. it might take getting used to that again.

BTW, the small human figures have magnets, you can pose them on the battle station without balancing them.

Yeah, looks to me like you paid too much for whichever one of those other two you bought. But it's your money.


Once again, the proof is in the pudding. The engineering on MP-44 is exquisite. I won't be twisting myself into knots to spend my 400 bucks like I was before we got this new information.

Transform Element TE-01 (bot on the right) is the better looking one. More streamlined and no ginormous backpack. If I go for a Toontimus, I'd go for this one.

The "Uproar" is only if the price asked is way too much for a trailer-less Optimus. Especially if it's a re-release that came with a trailer in the first place. Walmart's G1 reissue is the best example. 50$US/70$CAN for a trailer-less G1 Optimus is insulting. But a 25$US/34$CAN trailer-less G1 Optimus is perfectly fine.

Also, all those Optimusses that never came with a trailer in the first place don't count. Because seriously, it will be completely absurd if every single Optimusses ever came with a trailer.

Difficult to "pay too much" for either of the other two when they are between 1/4 and 1/3 of the price.

Sounds are the only un-objective benefit 44 has over the others.

That's debatable. I could give a rat's patootie about sounds.

Superior engineering gives far superior articulation and range of movement, and therefore play value, which even though I'm sure most of us just stand them on a shelf still want in a figure. To say nothing of all the other stuff you get with it.

All the reasons I collect doesn't come down to the banality of price. I know price is a factor - I'm not rich. But it's not the only factor. Takara has poured a lot into this figure, which the extra features shows where the money went. If you want a knock-off brick that looks like a cartoon Optimus just because it's "cheaper", you do you. But, like Sunstreaker and Inferno, I can appreciate the construction and ingenuity of what looks to me like a Masterpiece worthy of the name.

MP-44 do have the edge over articulations and poses that's for sure.

I’ll be honest I’m always rooting for the official product vs. the 3rd party stuff. I want the one with the official Autobrand to be the best. I know the 3rd party stuff gets pretty awesome but ah that’s just me. I would want an Optimus not some “Optimus” with some clever not-so-vague word play on his name for a handle and no official Autobrand. Just ramblin’ ;)

Knock off brick is a funny comment given 44's backpack. I'm not bothered about play value so if that's key for you fair enough.

Some people don't like a backpack they'll likely never actually see, sure. But the others being knock-off bricks is not up for debate. They are knock offs. They're dimensions are more brick-like. These are facts. I'm sure they make fine stand in statues.

The price point of $400 isn't the banal part. It's the discussion of price for a high end toy being too much when it's a first world issue is what is banal.

I don't think the transformation looks THAT bad, it's almost intuitive with how everything has to fold and tab for robot mode.

I dont understand your brick comments - MP 44 silhouette from any angle other than the front is worse than the two others you are disparaging. Their dimensions are definitively not more brick like.

If discussing the price is banal,why did you bring it up by telling someone theyd paid too much for one of the other options?

Those are not high-end collectibles. They're knock offs of a high end collectible. That's why.

Just because something is "cheaper" doesn't mean I want it. Although I am not in fact wealthy. A knock-off or an official version doesn't appeal to me one way or the other based on price alone.

As to the dimensions, they look like bricks to me. There is something more "off" about them from the front view than the Takara version. And I focus on the front not as a means to bash them, but because that's how I display my figures.

Pretty sure knock offs are direct copies rather than bots with their own transformation? Anyway definition kind of irrelevant.

They other options clearly are high end due to some of the superior factors they have vs 44, just as 44 has a few things they dont have.

I edited my post, but let's use another term if it's not the 1. version of a "knock-off".

I don't think the lack of a backpack gives those...fakes? Homages? a superior competitive position over what MP-44 "lacks," but as I said from jump: It's your money.

It was always the case for me. As soon as I saw that the white strip of the cab mode only appeared in robot mode, I knew it took things too far, beyond the realm of even making sense within the Transformers world.

His arms are quite small relative to his torso, compounding this they are set further back on his body so you see more of the torso. I’d be interested to know if the proportion thing was specifically intended for show accuracy - without info to the contrary I assume it was.

I was charged $326 after shipping for my fully loaded MP-44 from Amazon Japan. Better prices for this guy were out there, people just had to take advantage of them. Just wish they'd hurry and ship it.

Sigh, what now?


MP-44 コンボイの不良を発見してしまった。というかどの個体でもいつ起こってもおかしくない爆弾。膝の二重関節の下側、青い部分にクリックがあるんだけど、受けてる部分が薄くてすぐにナメちゃう強度しか無くてうちのは両膝とも死んでる…。買った人はここ絶対確認したほうがいいです。

Machine translation:

MP-44 I found a convoy defect. Rather, it ’s a bomb that is n’t strange to any individual. There is a click on the blue part under the double joint of the knee, but the part you are receiving is so thin that it has a strength that will give you a quick slack, and both of us are dead ... The person who bought it should definitely check here.

If you’re willing to pay $300 then you should’ve pre ordered off of Amazon japan back in December . I paid 326 with shipping.
