Dear emgo316 Thank you for watching my video! I'm watching your videos too! I really love your videos and it's so fun and easy to understand even though I don't know English though lol. I'm looking forward to watch your new videos! We do our BEST! best regards wotafa
Why the re-upload? I decided it would be best to splice in the update about the leg transformation and also wanted to include comparisons with MP-10 that I totally forgot to do, which makes for a more complete review of this figure for my peoples. Thank you. P.S. When I was re-editing this video I left out the clip where I demonstrate that this figure can tow MP-10's trailer cuz I'm a DUMB-DUMB, but yes this prime can tow Mp-10's trailer.
I gotta say, this is one of the Bayformer designs I actually like. It's different, but it's RECOGNIZABLE as Prime. It shares the silhouette and many of the design elements of him. I cannot say the same for many of Prime's companions.
@@SuperMcSteel yesssss Bayverse Sideswipe is just so appealing to me and i don't think any other sci-fi/fantasy franchise has had the same aesthetic of skating with dual blades like he does
i think that’s one of the coolest things about the bayverse prime apart from no 4 and 5. you can clearly see the G1 prime in him, and when i take off my glasses the resemblance becomes even clearer. its honestly a terrific translation of the design
One thing I notice is they keep following the rotf leader prime mold. I think it’s because it’s the most accurate prime that isn’t a studio series or masterpiece model.
So I just got this guy from TFSource (finally) and I think they fixed the issue you address around 4:20. Looking closely at your figure at 4:31, I see that the box that the pipe folds into for transformation is preventing it from going all the way out. On mine, there is actually a square slot section cut out of said box that allows the pipe to extend all the way and attach to the smoke stacks. Might be worth looking into.
Pretty good call man, it was more like 4 1/2 to 5, but Weijang/Black apple did it!! If you like this figure, Thunder leader will absorb your soul. 😂😂 It's ridiculously screen accurate, in both modes, and takes about an hour to transform, but it is an absolute must have if you like bayverse Prime. I'm not a huge fan personally, but even I had to buy it. It does cost around $130 USD, but it's absolutely worh it! Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.
i think this is how movie accurate it can get because the way vehicles turn into robots in the film looks wierd because random parts show up that cant even fit in the vehicle
There were several possible improvements from the RotF leader class Prime that I knew would decide whether or not I felt this figure was worth the redesign: •✅Better legs •✅Better arms •✅Flatter backpack This figure checks all of these categories AND puts the Matrix of Leadership deep within his chest- all while maintaining the original's articulated chest fins! Needless to say, this figure blew my dick off.
I thought the thumbnail was a statue! I didn't expect it to be posable- let alone transformable! I thought the truck mode was a separate figure when the video started!
The AshBrothers If you had watched the whole review instead of skipping parts of it, you would know that MPM-4 Masterpiece Movie Series Optimus Prime doesn't share any parts whatsoever with the ROTF Leader class Optimus Prime mold or any of its redecos/ retools. MPM-4 Masterpiece Movie Series Optimus Prime doesn't do anywhere near as much cheating as the ROTF Leader class mold or any of its redecos/ retools.
I got my figure yesterday. After watching your videos I went transforming him. I must say that the hood/window section is tricky but managed to get it all done the first time tried. Thnx for showing us that in your second video.
Thank you for the awesome video. I was stuck trying to transform from truck mode to bot mode and this showed me what I was missing. This is my second transformer and first MASTERPIECE so I was pretty lost. Thx for the awesome details.
Coming back to watch this after Studio Series release of Optimus, I wish Hasbro and Takara had done the legs on SS Optimus similar to how they did on this figure. Ah well 🤷🏻♂️ Edit: and by extension the backpack as well.
So, I bought this back in Aug with all the defects everyone has been having I complained to Hasbro and they could not exchange it for another from them, but told me to go to my retailer, so recently Toys r us got more MPM 4 for the holidays, I asked them if i could exchange it and they said yes, got a new one, and noticed the new batch FIXED all the problems I had, things lock in place better, the cab sits flush without mods and the smokestacks are actually filed down to make them extend out right out of the box
Hi Emgo, Only had my MPM-4 a few weeks, its unmodded and have noticed the beginnings of stress marks on the arm supports (its only on one side that I can see with a torch so far) that you pointed out earlier in the review. I also noticed a few steps in your transformation review that I never knew about from the instructions (which dont really help from time to time) i.e. where the underside smokestack pieces swing out on the legs, also didn't know the hips could be shifted up or down when transforming.. or that the kneepads can lock. I blame that on the poor quality instructions. I still love this Prime figure even with the flaws which appear from reports that it was a QC issue from a broken mold at the factory that wasn't picked up until after the release. Hopefully there will be an MPM-4B rerelease fixing the flaws eventually.
i started to play the transformers song at 14:45 So 2 years later I come back and I don’t understand. I guess I meant Prime started to really look like Prime but idk.
Hey, emgo? Are you thinking of getting the Alien Attack Masterpiece Dino? I think you would *love* that one! :D It has an *extremely* movie-accurate robot mode, *and* it even turns into an Italia 458 Ferrari!
so i see a lot of people worried about paint wear on the blue waist section the matrix chamber slides past i just got my mpm-04 and you can transform him without actually pushing the chamber passed that section i didn't look to see how it shows this in the instructions as i watched enough reviews to do the transformation without them im not certain if this issue helps with the hood or not i haven't had a chance to experiment
My dad bought me this mpm a couple weeks back at bbts and there no issue on my copy but I just didn’t want transform it because I’m just scare I might break something during transformation
I am Japanese, but I always enjoy watching the video of emigo 316. You edited the video again. I felt that painting of MPM - 4 was insufficient, so I painted extra paint myself.
The transformation is kinda accurate, in the first movie, Optimus arm came out of the front of the truck but the grill was not connected to the arms and with the toy, it’s the same,
the black mamba figure fixes a lot tbh. the shoulder pads become movie accurate, all the paint apps are miles better, i haven’t encountered any tabbing issues (though the smoke stacks are really hard to untab) so the final truck mode is clean, and there’s no missing paint anywhere.
@emgo316 Did me and you get like, the "American" repaint version? Cuz our mold don't have everything painted like the blue band on the front of his feet and the hip headlights aren't painted, also the springs in different areas aren't painted AND all the dark grey areas on him all show painted in a lighter silver instead even on the box art itself, and TFSource also adverts a better painted version. Was there like a Japan version or a 1.0 that we missed out on??
I just got mine in the mail 2 days ago I haven’t tried transforming him into his vehicle mode, would you say that his transformation is easy to memorize? I also have the Mpm Ironhide who I just keep in robot mode because when I try turning him into his vehicle mode I can never get the windshield/hood to tab in at all.
Bigbadtoystore is taking too long for MPM-4 to be available for pre order. And also it’s only gonna be available for pre order. I think I found the Takara version but I’m not sure if I’ll be getting it new. Seems like it’s second hand. Can I trust it?
IMO the half painted piece is budget from the factory jiffing HasTak at the end (or just hastak being cheap and cut corners). Perhaps they paint the parts before fitting together and thus half the tank and the arm band was painted...
Which version is this one, the takara import or the US version? The staining here looks lighter than the US one, but darker greys than the takara one...
The blades that he has is not allowed to have it come out of his wrist it needs to make him fold his hands in and his blades go in his hands and he can fold out his hands to just hold it like DOTM
I just got this guy the other day - one thing is all the grey plastic pieces on your version are way darker than the ones on mine - your nitpick about the fuel tank for example, one side is chrome but the inside is a light gray so the differences in the color transitions look minimal. Also your version seems to have pieces that line up better than on mine - I had a hell of a time getting things to line up correctly, especially where the shoulders connect to the roof area, mine are really loose - and pissing me off cause his arms can just drop down easily.
Im super torn on this figure, I like the design but the way this transforms and the cab is super nitpicky to get flush is stopping me from picking it up. I just hope for a reissue of Mp10 to get before I consider getting this one.
Hey emgo316 will you be reviewing the upcoming TRANSFORMERS BUMBLEBEE - LEGENDARY OPTIMUS PRIME? The one where the truck mode is G1 but the Optimus Prime is the movie version? Looking forward to it!
My rotf leader prime I got from my great grandfather and I lost the feet either before or after he passed and still never found nor got a replacement so the feet transformation was nostalgic for me
Emgo316 can you start putting the exact link to the toys you buy so that it is easier to find the correct toy, because I can rarely find the toys that you buy

They should make a masterpiece sentinal prime
Octavius Toliver-Flient eh.. what do you think mascot would do with it?
The thing is that MPM is only dedicated to making movie one. That’s why we never got a Sideswipe, or Skids or Mudflap. No point in that.
We have bumblebee movie bumblebee and revenge of the fallen Starscream it’s not just dedicated to movie one
Don’t ever talk about that traitor lol
I agree and probably a the fallen mpm
Im just happy that hasbro finnaly figured out hot to not have to have a fake chest peice.
it isn't Hasbro it's Takara Tomy.
TheDragonFurious Redux its hasbro and takara
Leader class rotf and dotm
CaptianWaffle I had a voyager optimus from like 2011 (not DOTM) but he had a non fake chest piece
battle blades?
It's been ten years since the first bayformers movie?!?! I'm old?!?!?!

Can anyone imagine how complex a masterpiece cinematic universe optimus prime would be. It would take 3 years to design!
Brandon Mcfadden acctuly, considering if took ten yrs to make mp 36, it would probably never be created
Oh damn

Awesome review, hopefully we'll see a MPM Megatron or Barricade now with these 2 being out.

scooter Kelly me to
Not only is the toy a masterpiece but the size comparison with other movie master piece toys is the real master piece
I got my figure yesterday. After watching your videos I went transforming him. I must say that the hood/window section is tricky but managed to get it all done the first time tried. Thnx for showing us that in your second video.
this is a bit like more of a redo than a masterpiece...but still SUPER nice...
OMGGGGG YOUR MPM-3 BUMBLEBEE ALREADY GOT HIS CLAVICLE THIS TIME. CONGRATS!!!
The backpack gun thing looks like a wing pack like the swords can fold out and the gun acts like a jet engine of sorts
proof that emgo cares
:)
Blitz Fyre amen
Blitz Fyre I Like your ODST channel pic.
What annoys me about this Prime is that his swords are yellow instead of orange.
fishpop I have the figure myself and I can tell you they are not yellow
It depends on the lighting. My uncle’s is orange in every lighting except for my room, since the bulb is yellow.
1:51 well as we know, “No Sacrifice, No Victory.”
"LETS GET DOWN TO TRANSFORMATION SHALL WE, LETS!!" LOVE IT!
Optimus had so many cool deception kills and said many cool things and that's why he is AWESOME!!!!!
I love rewatching your older videos so nostalgic
Thank you for the awesome video. I was stuck trying to transform from truck mode to bot mode and this showed me what I was missing. This is my second transformer and first MASTERPIECE so I was pretty lost. Thx for the awesome details.
31:00
these small transformation steps makes up accuracy of optimus prime's lower legs because in the film, his lower legs are chunky.
I grew up on your videos. Thanks for making an epic childhood for my friend and i
Thank you
Optimus Prime Sup Optimus Prime
Bitch! Prime
Optimus Prime for what? Your not real.
Automated Comet Automated wolf so?
Optimus Prime wait I'm optimus prime
Coming back to watch this after Studio Series release of Optimus, I wish Hasbro and Takara had done the legs on SS Optimus similar to how they did on this figure.
Ah well 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: and by extension the backpack as well.
I just realized his chest looks like an angry face
Im gonna rewatch the review since I love this channel! XD
So, I bought this back in Aug with all the defects everyone has been having I complained to Hasbro and they could not exchange it for another from them, but told me to go to my retailer, so recently Toys r us got more MPM 4 for the holidays, I asked them if i could exchange it and they said yes, got a new one, and noticed the new batch FIXED all the problems I had, things lock in place better, the cab sits flush without mods and the smokestacks are actually filed down to make them extend out right out of the box
35:23 when I first heard that I thought you said get your ass😂😂😂
masterpiece blackout
Lorenz Retiro Masterpiece Bonecrusher.
I read that Masterpiece Blackout is coming out, actually.
There was a leaked image iirc.
Pretty sure the images were taken down, sorry!
Blackout The Decepticon It's a leader class figure
Anyone else getting déjà vu? :P
yeah
looks like their re using certain parts of the mould from rof
this toy is so good it’s actually well a masterpiece I’m glad I own it although it does have a fault in the vehicle mode
but still all in all a good toy I wish they could fix that bug in the vehicle mode but still very nice job
Rewatching the review

Hopefully there will be an MPM-4B rerelease fixing the flaws eventually.
I am in love with this master piece optimus!
Golden Foxy? Who knew..
GOLDEN FOXY account seems pathetic
When you compare this to the masterpiece megatron figure there is no comparison. I hope they make a masterpiece ROFT optimus
Would they have to, other than just to retool and improve this mold?
I want it so much for Christmas 🎄!!😭But Christmas isn’t for 2 weeks and I have midterms next week!
i started to play the transformers song at 14:45
So 2 years later I come back and I don’t understand. I guess I meant Prime started to really look like Prime but idk.
Since the MPM-10 Starscream screenshots were leaked, I hope Takara makes an MPM Optimus Prime 2.0.
Why? This Optimus seems literally perfect. What could you want?
Hey, emgo? Are you thinking of getting the Alien Attack Masterpiece Dino? I think you would *love* that one! :D It has an *extremely* movie-accurate robot mode, *and* it even turns into an Italia 458 Ferrari!
"Toys-R-Us exclusive"
Sssssssssshhhhhhhhhit.
Well time to use amazon, ebay, or the big bad toy store.
so i see a lot of people worried about paint wear on the blue waist section the matrix chamber slides past i just got my mpm-04 and you can transform him without actually pushing the chamber passed that section i didn't look to see how it shows this in the instructions as i watched enough reviews to do the transformation without them im not certain if this issue helps with the hood or not i haven't had a chance to experiment

😂
I never thought I would click on a 35 minute video of a toy
Raz3rSharp I would 😂😂
How much does this one cost? Btw they should make Megatron
Legit Stopmotions $140, sadly.
mehkas.071 Gaming aww man that's too expensive for me
AGREED
At the start of the vid I thought “it would be cool if he had the matrix” and at the end he opens up optimus’ chest and takes out the matrix
The reason the windshield doesn't tab into the hood is because the hood is pointing downwards.
This definitely beats the crap out of the ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime.
emgo if you can get Caliber Optimus Prime from the takara TLK line. it is awesome
Bigbadtoystore is taking too long for MPM-4 to be available for pre order. And also it’s only gonna be available for pre order. I think I found the Takara version but I’m not sure if I’ll be getting it new. Seems like it’s second hand. Can I trust it?

This review helped me with my own masterpiece Optimus Prime with the transformation
Emgo thank you for everything you do for your fans to me your my idol
I liked this. You are my favorite reviewer your amazing love your channel
You should’ve compared it with Buster Optimus Prime. The colors are both beautiful but I wanna see the slight differences.
Don’t have it
The more times I watch this video, the more I want him.
MP-10's trailer can work with this toy
Ur channel is lit m8
Razor stop
I know I'm late asking, but can jetfire attach to him like on the rotf version?
Jeremy Roberts No
Is it weird how the plastic color sorta annoys me since the color should be a little deeper?
I love the light blue on the figure.
Hi has anybody had some stability issues with the mod done to optimus' arm, cause on mine it feels like its always gonna break
Which version is this one, the takara import or the US version? The staining here looks lighter than the US one, but darker greys than the takara one...
27:29 sentinel prime :I am no longer your teacher Optimus you are mine
you can screw in that screw on the smoke stack thing and it should stop that dead fall problem
The blades that he has is not allowed to have it come out of his wrist it needs to make him fold his hands in and his blades go in his hands and he can fold out his hands to just hold it like DOTM
23:10 Optimus Pez-Head. haha 27:00 JETPACK!!!! haha. lethal jetpack. great skit too
It is just the camera picking the blue weirdly or is the blue on the MPM Prime that much brighter than the rest?
I have this same figure. But mine has all the issues you mentioned fixed, I didn't modify it. Don't know if there was a running change or what
I just got this guy the other day - one thing is all the grey plastic pieces on your version are way darker than the ones on mine - your nitpick about the fuel tank for example, one side is chrome but the inside is a light gray so the differences in the color transitions look minimal. Also your version seems to have pieces that line up better than on mine - I had a hell of a time getting things to line up correctly, especially where the shoulders connect to the roof area, mine are really loose - and pissing me off cause his arms can just drop down easily.
Does it feel comfortable in your hands. Is it fun to play with?
Deja vu, I still think they should have just left the yellow off the fenders.
Im super torn on this figure, I like the design but the way this transforms and the cab is super nitpicky to get flush is stopping me from picking it up. I just hope for a reissue of Mp10 to get before I consider getting this one.
Hey emgo316 will you be reviewing the upcoming TRANSFORMERS BUMBLEBEE - LEGENDARY OPTIMUS PRIME? The one where the truck mode is G1 but the Optimus Prime is the movie version? Looking forward to it!
It’s a nice figure but the tuck mode tabs don’t work so well, I also can’t peg in the legs to the tail light section. It comes out decent though
Once again, another awesome review!
My rotf leader prime I got from my great grandfather and I lost the feet either before or after he passed and still never found nor got a replacement so the feet transformation was nostalgic for me
hey emgo can you please do a transformers leader class star scream review and tell mascot to do a transformers combiner review
Hey emgo,
According to u which is the best Optimus prime.
Btw nice video....
Shhx Gdgdg none of them. Theyre all meh. As for megatron the masterpiece movie version smokes all the others
If you had to choose between MPM Prime and Wei Jjang Commander, which one would you choose?
did you know you could do g1s trailer with mpm
Erm... emgo? When I did the mod, it made the armatures holding the arms on extremely loose, I’m just wondering if there is a solution to this problem.
There's a Black Mamba version of MPM-4 Masterpiece Movie OPTIMUS PRIME.
Good rewatch
HEY EMGO! you said this is a Toy's R us exclusive, is it only US exclusive or you think I'll find it on my Toy's R us here in France?
Emgo316 can you start putting the exact link to the toys you buy so that it is easier to find the correct toy, because I can rarely find the toys that you buy
I wanna be transformers toys review like u one day!
I watched your review and rushed out to get it, it's great to have in hand
You know what they should do? Re release this figure so they can get the proportions of the forearms, chest, back, and make the head thinner
EmGo , coolest transformer action figure thou ain't gonna lie I have my very first Primus
