Just so you know, there's a LOT more voice clips than were heard here in the review. This is understandable, as they're apparently randomized, so getting to hear all of them wouldn't be practical without a lot of repeats and/or video editing.

In other words, the supreme commander of the Autobots and your friend, Optimus Prime." "Teletran 1! Destron no space bridge no basho wo dashite kure. Hayaku!" / "Teletran 1!

"Tanonda zo, ima warera ni hitsuyou na no ha energy to kouun nan da." / "We're counting on you. Now all we need is energy and good luck." ("Now all we need is a little energon and a lot of luck.")

("[I]t is to you, old friend, that I shall pass the Matrix of Leadership, as it was...passed to me ...") "Nani mo, nageki-kanashimu koto ha nai. Jiki ni watashi ha Matrix to hitotsu ni naru kara da." / "There is nothing to regret. ("Do not grieve.") Soon I shall be one with the Matrix." Mode 5 (2010/G1 season 3, 5 lines total) "Eichi no hikari yo, yami wo terashite kure." / "Light of wisdom, illuminate the darkness." ("Now, light our darkest hour.")

@@carnmarth334 but you gotta admit I think people have been waiting for years to have a cartoon accurate g1 masterpiece prime, this is want everyone wanted.
I love how so many of these have all these little panels and stuff that flip out and tab in to cover up the inner workings and make the robot modes look so cartoon clean.
But when I watch the original cartoon, the transformation doesn't look like this The bayverse toys though, they are trying to replicate the transformation animation in the toys, and maybe we will see they'll perfect it after 50 yrs
I was never really into the cartoons or movies but I loved the toys when I was a kid. The creativity that went into designing them is mind-boggling. The people who created the models were geniuses. Figuring out how to transform the toy is one thing, but imagine how complicated it would be to create the original from scratch.
The Starscream head and shoulder piece are from Megatron's master plan episode were Spike is showing the Mayor a video of Starscream Thundercracker Skywarp disguised as Autobots.

Edit: the added Starscream head raises the possibility of a MP Starscream 2.0. Takara Tomy...make it happen.
An absolutely incredible figure. Beautiful attention to detail, incredible engineering, and simplicity astounding presence. If it was $100 cheaper, I might have to bite the bullet and purchase it. As it stands, it’s just way too much money. Plus, I’m already pretty happy with my MP-10. Great review!
I think those effect parts could be used as energon swords *if* they came with detachable handles Now about this figure: this prime does have a unique transformation, it has quite a few tricks i didn't expect
If I had to pick ANY Masterpiece Prime, it would either be Magic Square's version, Transform Element's version, or MP-10. This one is good, but it's WAY to complicated for me! And MP-01...yeah, no thanks.
Wow. You haven't changed, Emgo. And I think that's a good thing. Recently, I've been coming back to Transformers for some reason and after watching some Tfp clips, I immediately thought of your channel. I'm so happy that you haven't changed. Keep doing what you're doin', dude.
Watching the transformation and the engineer(s) who designed this, one just can't help but think that "The line between genius and madness is inexistent!"
Awesome and extremely thorough review! I watched the whole video! Man, this Prime is PACKED with tons of accessories and features! Even though the transformation is pretty crazy, all the parts look perfectly whole and solid in the end. Kudos to the makers of this Prime because they seemed to have thought of EVERYTHING! I definitely would love this, but at that price point, I'm sticking with my MP-1 Prime.
Good stuff emgo...i love transformers...when i was a kid...my father cannot affort to buy these toys for me...today,..i have collected almost every figures..🤩😚
Thank you ! You are the first reviewer I've seen actually put the rocket pack on Sideswipe! Now I'm buying the figure! I have been screaming for the rocket pack forever. I guess we got it at the right time in this line.
Translations Clip one: I have a good idea Clip two: megatroooooooon Clip three: cybertron (Autobot) warriors! Transform! This is all I can find so far I will make edits as they come or you can reply to my post with translations
The Blueberry Pokémon yea I end up buying the TE01. Takara has gone bonkers with the price of their masterpiece figures I may sell my beast wars megs if a third party makes a better version.
I remember when Gen 1 came out in 1985, kids said the optimus toy, which had less than 10 steps to transform, was way too complicated. Imagine what they would have thought of this
11:04 That's a welder, not a gas pump. Nobody seems to know this. In Diaclone World, when the trailer is in repair bay mode (vertical), the claw arm uses it to repair the robot mech suit (Convoy/Optimus Prime).
A Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime listing has been found and people are expecting the figure to look exactly like this MP Optimus Prime figure but shrunk down to a commander class.
I might put MP-10 in the closet in favor of the new one. However MP-10 has a better head sculpt if only because the antennae are solid plastic rather than soft rubber
It's a gorgeous figure, and it's awesome that it has all those accessories, but still not worth the high price. I agree that Transform Element Prime is the lead competition to show accuracy. TE-01's design maybe be more simple than MP-44, but it still looks great.
I would think that it wouldn’t as bad as those that collect MP or 3rd party since the MP game is in the expensive side. But, for some those that only live the CHUG life had a rude awakening.
Just want to say that you walking through this _insanely_ complex Optimus Prime transformation in a single take, with no cuts or flubs, is impressive. Respect. ✊🤖
@@ShodaiGojira-xn3xk I don't even target Primes specifically or collect that many transformers and I have seven red and blue Primes (including one Orion Pax) a Primitive Skateboarding black Optimus Prime and my one and only MP figure is MP-10B Black Convoy.
He doesn't say "Till all are one"? It's probably because they used Peter Cullen's lines from the Bay movies and the quote doesn't exist there, but it's unfortunate none the less. Oh well, I guess I should be happy that they included him at all, that's already a big improvement over MP-36.
The truck side-panels folding into the legs is the weirdest transformation I've seen. Also, the inside trailer could have used some stickers for additional details. Other then that, this a superb masterpiece Optimus Prime with great articulation! Awesome review, Emgo!!
Endo if you see this I am glad your still here after all this time and I am glad I have been watching this channel since I watched the 2007 transformers movie I loved it btw I hope everyone has enjoyed watching your videos as much as I have
THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 but how much would that convert to Australian cause with the current price on BBTS converted to Australian dollar almost $900
THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 idk anymore I keep seeing this guy for sale at $800 to 549 all over the place it’s driving me nuts just give me a solid price that’s not ridiculous
At 36:56, I believe you may have missed an opportunity to give Optimus the old dab treatment XD. All jokes aside, this toy is awesome, and this review is even better. Thank you.
Its a beautiful figure, i love the cartoon design a lot....but the price point is absolutely unacceptable imo, i will never ever spend that king of money on a Transformers Masterpiece toy, its just insane and not worth it imo. Ffs, you can get a high quality Transformers figure from ThreeZero for half the price of this one!! Edit: i never thought i would say this, but the more that i look at it, the more i think that the MP-10 is the better version of the 2!! Im really surprised because im a sucker for cartoon accuracy, but for some reason this one doesn't do it for me, its a beautiful figure but its missing something for me...
While my engineering background applauds what they've been able to do in going from a toon accurate truck to a toon accurate bot, this is ridiculously over-engineered. Takara has gone completely overboard with the toon accuracy. I always looked to MPs for the toon/comic silhouette, but with the real-world deco and details, and this is why they're losing me more and more to 3P stuff. I'm more than happy with MP-10, not only for his (relatively) more direct transformation, but the truck-y kibble and non-hit on my bank account. Still, happy for those that this satisfies. And jealous of some of those trailer features!
The problem with MP-44 is that they had to add their stupid gimmicks like opening doors and a voice feature, which not only made the transformation more complex, but less accurate to the cartoon.
Yeah, in my opinion this is too toon accurate. I’m not the biggest fan, I love the g1 cartoon designs, but too see it as a 3D toy looks weird. I prefer mp10’s more realistic vehicle mode and more detailed robot mode. As of now I’m not sure I’d buy any of the newer masterpiece figures because of the cartoon aesthetic.
I think that I still prefer MP-10 for a couple of reasons. One, the vehicle mode looks too plain. There is no white stripe around the cab, and the trailer looks too dark, with no blue stripes through the white highlights. And Two, I would prefer that the backpack did not have the electronics, I would prefer to have the weapon storage done in the same way as it is for MP-10, seeing as the Ion-Blaster still has the fold up feature.
Transforming him looks like it’s a pain, but he looks absolutely incredible in big forms. I didn’t think they could have possibly topped MP-10 Prime, but what do you know they did.
Yeah, they did the right thing adding some Peter Cullen voice clips since Peter Cullen was the first voice actor to play Optimus Prime and was born to do so!
At 41:20 what G1 episode was it where Optimus pulls off his own head and it is Starscream's head underneath? I guess Starscream was impersonating him or some such
Knee makers: I think having the knees the same as the others is too simple... Some random guy: well lets over complicate it then by doing THIS! Knee makers: your hired
And that is how Takara lost their minds when they were being too fancy with the MP-44's knees! They should've left them as regular double-jointed knees and let us decide however we want to move the joints, hopefully they would correct that problem by starting a second production run of MP-44 and fix that knee problem.
Emgo, thank you for going into detail for every little thing that came packaged. I couldn't find a reviewer who actually took the time to do so. Especially when it came to the voice box. Heck, even I was getting irritated listening to the japanese clips, (don't know how you mangaged to do so xD) up until Peter Cullen started talking. I'll happily stick to my MP10 tho. Even if I could spend that kinda cash, I'd rather it be Unicron. God I hope that figure gets released.
Dammed and here I thought the TE-01 and the Ultra Maxmax had complicated transformations. So this is the 2 no for me: Expensive and Hard to transforme.
@@zookdom3347 I love my MP-10, but the big thing about MP-44 is that cartoon accuracy, and I *really* like how posable this guy is. You can really do scenes from the movie as well. I grew up with G1 in the 80's, so that's a big nostalgia point for me.
Imagine if you were part of the engineering team that had to design how this all came together Wow the leg complexity I can’t imagine how much of a sadist the design lead must be
I think this does a really, really good job of capturing the cartoon look, much better than MP-10. But MP-10 does SO MANY OTHER THINGS better. Not in the least its price...
As a kid watching emgo do these reviews and knowing he still makes them makes me happy always enjoyed watching his reviews and it’s because of emgo that I even found out about the leader class version for DOTM megatron and got it for my birthday and watched his review once I got it to help me transform it

This is all I can find so far I will make edits as they come or you can reply to my post with translations
Oh yeah. The "I have a good idea" clip?
That is Optimus' famous catchphrase in Japan.
reynaldi Pangestu TakaraTomy even nicknamed one toy of Prime with that catchphrase
Just got my mp 44 today. Starting my collection all over. It's a beautiful work of art
Clever engineering but I still prefer MP-10
Or if you want a screen accurate one Magic Square and Transform Element for 1/3 the price
Yes
The colours in mp10 look the best. So vibrant, so alive.
Plus the semi realistic look of mp10 is just superior in my opinion.
The Blueberry Pokémon yea I end up buying the TE01. Takara has gone bonkers with the price of their masterpiece figures I may sell my beast wars megs if a third party makes a better version.
21:08 the back of the knee has a face. Now you can’t unsee it 😉
Your reviews kick arse ! Gotta give you props Emgo !! You did it justice
MP-1: Original G1 figure
MP-10: Marvel comic
MP-44: G1 cartoon
Second only to the upcoming Unicron, the most expensive TF figure ever. Thanks for sharing. :D
Nah this figure is $500 and several stores has it for $800 so thats more expensive
**Laughs in Fans Toys Fortress Maximus**
Only true g1 fans will understand the starscream head
It’s from when the decepticons stole oil disguised as the autobots and starscream pulled off his optimus mask and his intakes pop out
How long until MP-10 is precious
Wylde Bill until they release a 4.0 😂
35 years
Optimus Prime actually had the rocket pack on top of his trailer flying in truck mode to face Lord Chumley ! On the episode Prime Target.
Really?! 😲
Ah, the boobies episode. (Yes, OP did say that there is video proof on RUclips)
I remember when Gen 1 came out in 1985, kids said the optimus toy, which had less than 10 steps to transform, was way too complicated. Imagine what they would have thought of this
G1 came out in 84
11:04 That's a welder, not a gas pump. Nobody seems to know this. In Diaclone World, when the trailer is in repair bay mode (vertical), the claw arm uses it to repair the robot mech suit (Convoy/Optimus Prime).
Love the Megatron's Master Plan reference with the Starscream bits.
A Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime listing has been found and people are expecting the figure to look exactly like this MP Optimus Prime figure but shrunk down to a commander class.
It looks good, a tad over enginered maybe.
Mp10 still my favourite
Alan Yale this I agree with
I might put MP-10 in the closet in favor of the new one. However MP-10 has a better head sculpt if only because the antennae are solid plastic rather than soft rubber
You can’t retire MP10. He’s almost as iconic to this channel as mascot!
You may be right about that, but the only downfall about MP-10 is that it is not entirely cartoon accurate, despite being in the right scale.
For something called a masterpiece, they sure do suggest otherwise with all their remakes.
Can't wait for the 400 K special. We all love you Emgo!
It's a gorgeous figure, and it's awesome that it has all those accessories, but still not worth the high price. I agree that Transform Element Prime is the lead competition to show accuracy. TE-01's design maybe be more simple than MP-44, but it still looks great.
i was about to go to sleep now i got to watch ur vid
XD
@@zedries You probably haven't heard of time zones.
@@zedries the world's round yeno?
Same
People think Unicron is too expensive yet buy this thing with no hesitation.
I would think that it wouldn’t as bad as those that collect MP or 3rd party since the MP game is in the expensive side. But, for some those that only live the CHUG life had a rude awakening.
Imagine being that guy on the assembly line having to put this together
Thats what they have robots for
Autobots that make autobots
Just want to say that you walking through this _insanely_ complex Optimus Prime transformation in a single take, with no cuts or flubs, is impressive. Respect. ✊🤖
Finally! Thank you emgo, for giving us a review of this thing that’s actually quality lol. Like my man said, we don’t deserve you
MP-44 Masterpiece Optimus set be like:
"Sideswipe! Give me your rocket pack."
"M-my rocket pack?"
*_"NOW!"_*
Emgo, as always, you’ve outshined yourself. Great review.
Prime collecting could be a hobby in itself.
Well. It is for me!
My father and I probably have 120+ primes including the original. Just prime.
I have 4 figures on my shelf
@@ShodaiGojira-xn3xk I don't even target Primes specifically or collect that many transformers and I have seven red and blue Primes (including one Orion Pax) a Primitive Skateboarding black Optimus Prime and my one and only MP figure is MP-10B Black Convoy.
He doesn't say "Till all are one"? It's probably because they used Peter Cullen's lines from the Bay movies and the quote doesn't exist there, but it's unfortunate none the less.
Oh well, I guess I should be happy that they included him at all, that's already a big improvement over MP-36.
i was thinking it sounded like bay movie clips but i wasn’t sure if anyone else noticed
The truck side-panels folding into the legs is the weirdest transformation I've seen. Also, the inside trailer could have used some stickers for additional details. Other then that, this a superb masterpiece Optimus Prime with great articulation! Awesome review, Emgo!!
the leg alone is a deluxe class transformer
48:39 I’m sorry, but only one Optimus beats op leader, and he is, Light of Peace.
I love this overly complicated transformation. It looks satisfying
Emgo: *Transforms prime.*
Me: "WUT IS GOIN' ON?!"
Yow been waiting for your review on MP44
Endo if you see this I am glad your still here after all this time and I am glad I have been watching this channel since I watched the 2007 transformers movie I loved it btw I hope everyone has enjoyed watching your videos as much as I have
The bad thing is if I were to get this figure I would be paying almost $900 just to own this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 but how much would that convert to Australian cause with the current price on BBTS converted to Australian dollar almost $900
THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 idk anymore I keep seeing this guy for sale at $800 to 549 all over the place it’s driving me nuts just give me a solid price that’s not ridiculous
Agreed
At 36:56, I believe you may have missed an opportunity to give Optimus the old dab treatment XD.
All jokes aside, this toy is awesome, and this review is even better. Thank you.
Its a beautiful figure, i love the cartoon design a lot....but the price point is absolutely unacceptable imo, i will never ever spend that king of money on a Transformers Masterpiece toy, its just insane and not worth it imo. Ffs, you can get a high quality Transformers figure from ThreeZero for half the price of this one!!
Edit: i never thought i would say this, but the more that i look at it, the more i think that the MP-10 is the better version of the 2!! Im really surprised because im a sucker for cartoon accuracy, but for some reason this one doesn't do it for me, its a beautiful figure but its missing something for me...
I know this sounds weird but I'm going to have a lot of fun coming up with ways to use the starscream head
While my engineering background applauds what they've been able to do in going from a toon accurate truck to a toon accurate bot, this is ridiculously over-engineered. Takara has gone completely overboard with the toon accuracy. I always looked to MPs for the toon/comic silhouette, but with the real-world deco and details, and this is why they're losing me more and more to 3P stuff. I'm more than happy with MP-10, not only for his (relatively) more direct transformation, but the truck-y kibble and non-hit on my bank account. Still, happy for those that this satisfies. And jealous of some of those trailer features!
Agreed on your opinion concerning Mp-10. That toy is the very definition of timeless.
The problem with MP-44 is that they had to add their stupid gimmicks like opening doors and a voice feature, which not only made the transformation more complex, but less accurate to the cartoon.
Yeah, in my opinion this is too toon accurate. I’m not the biggest fan, I love the g1 cartoon designs, but too see it as a 3D toy looks weird. I prefer mp10’s more realistic vehicle mode and more detailed robot mode. As of now I’m not sure I’d buy any of the newer masterpiece figures because of the cartoon aesthetic.
I think that I still prefer MP-10 for a couple of reasons. One, the vehicle mode looks too plain. There is no white stripe around the cab, and the trailer looks too dark, with no blue stripes through the white highlights. And Two, I would prefer that the backpack did not have the electronics, I would prefer to have the weapon storage done in the same way as it is for MP-10, seeing as the Ion-Blaster still has the fold up feature.
55 MINUTES!?!?!, hold on let me grab my popcorn
wow
dude that ending skit was funny as hell especially when megatron said so was that i lol'd so much
Transforming him looks like it’s a pain, but he looks absolutely incredible in big forms. I didn’t think they could have possibly topped MP-10 Prime, but what do you know they did.
47:34 That is NOT something I was expecting. But it's really awesome they added that.
Yeah, they did the right thing adding some Peter Cullen voice clips since Peter Cullen was the first voice actor to play Optimus Prime and was born to do so!
Really hope it's released in the US at a lower price. Totally worth $250.
Well MP-49 has good news for you lol
At 41:20 what G1 episode was it where Optimus pulls off his own head and it is Starscream's head underneath? I guess Starscream was impersonating him or some such
Knee makers: I think having the knees the same as the others is too simple...
Some random guy: well lets over complicate it then by doing THIS!
Knee makers: your hired
And that is how Takara lost their minds when they were being too fancy with the MP-44's knees! They should've left them as regular double-jointed knees and let us decide however we want to move the joints, hopefully they would correct that problem by starting a second production run of MP-44 and fix that knee problem.
Emgo, thank you for going into detail for every little thing that came packaged. I couldn't find a reviewer who actually took the time to do so. Especially when it came to the voice box. Heck, even I was getting irritated listening to the japanese clips, (don't know how you mangaged to do so xD) up until Peter Cullen started talking. I'll happily stick to my MP10 tho. Even if I could spend that kinda cash, I'd rather it be Unicron. God I hope that figure gets released.
"BLEUSCH."
-Emgo
Ahem it’s spelled BLOOSH
@@ironthanos2190 Okay, nobody's perfect.
Great review. Thanks for showing about the knees problem. Will be careful 👍
Dammed and here I thought the TE-01 and the Ultra Maxmax had complicated transformations. So this is the 2 no for me: Expensive and Hard to transforme.
I love the inthusiasum you put into your reviews
"Prime Time 3.0!"
BUT AT WHAT $400+ *COST?!* AT WHAT *COOOOOOOOST?!*
The price Margin is far to high on these things...Plus most need add on parts
Such a RIP off!
robert williams just wait for third party to make these and sell at a fraction of the original price
He’s gone show accurate!! This time for sure!
43:40 THAT FLYING CAT HAIR SCARED ME I THOUGHT IT WAS A GHOST ORB THING-
This review is gonna determine if I decide to get this 😁I've been thinking about it, but I need a really good review 👍🏻
The Second ZedRies You misspelled “Transform Element Op”!
Honestly seems like a rip off to me, Takara must be making giant profit off this. I think MP-10 looks better.
@@zookdom3347 I love my MP-10, but the big thing about MP-44 is that cartoon accuracy, and I *really* like how posable this guy is. You can really do scenes from the movie as well. I grew up with G1 in the 80's, so that's a big nostalgia point for me.
get it from amazon japan, its around $350-$360 shipped. Better than paying $460 at bbts
@@zedries wish it was available
Out of all the primes this is the best one
Also great video man
Takara at MP OP Meeting: So how can we overcomplicate this transformation?
never would have got through it without this video! Thanks a million!
Glad to be of service :)
Imagine if you were part of the engineering team that had to design how this all came together
Wow the leg complexity
I can’t imagine how much of a sadist the design lead must be
I would KILL to get my hands on one of those Takara toy cards.
Eh, I still think MP 10 is the best Prime Takara has produced. Even today that Prime still looks great. But that's just my opinion.
Mine too. It's just perfect. This guy, while extremely complex, has a huge chunk of backpack that I just don't dig
I think this does a really, really good job of capturing the cartoon look, much better than MP-10. But MP-10 does SO MANY OTHER THINGS better. Not in the least its price...
Really the only appealing thing to me at this point for MP-10 is his price. And even that guy's too much and is beaten out by the new 3P options imo.
As a kid watching emgo do these reviews and knowing he still makes them makes me happy always enjoyed watching his reviews and it’s because of emgo that I even found out about the leader class version for DOTM megatron and got it for my birthday and watched his review once I got it to help me transform it
Honestly, still glad I got my TE-01 Op leader, much cheaper and still as great. Even better in some aspects.
The Magic Square is also a really good one, but I wish that someone further elaborated on the real truck grill.
