We do not deserve you dude. You spend so much money on these things, and give us great reviews. Thank you.

"MP-36 Megatron is the most complex Transformer of all time" MP-44: Hold my beer.

After 35 years, Prime finally returns Sideswipe's jetpack.

The leg transformation is far more complicated than my relationship status

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. Mode 2, in particular, is extensive-31 voice clips in all. You already figured out the first round of voice clips, and some of the others are just as obvious, but to be complete, here's what's heard in the review... Mode 1 (main, 4 lines total) "Cybertron senshi, Transform!" / "Autobots, transform!" "Transform! Start your engines!" Mode 2 (G1 seasons 1 & 2, 31 lines total) "Saa, tanomu zo, Roller. Ano futari ga dou natta ga sagurun'da. Ki wo tsukete na." / "Okay, Roller, I'm counting on you. Find out what happened to those two. And be careful." "Naani, daijoubu da. Atarashiku soubi shita jidou shuri system ga sadou shite kureta you da na." / "I'm all right. It seems the newly installed auto-repair systems are functioning." (Hearty laughter) "Lambor ga iru ka! Omae no rocket booster wo kase! Meirei da!" / "There you are, Sideswipe! Lend me your rocket booster! That's an order!" (Pained scream) "Matei! Sou ha ikan zo , Megatron!" / "Hold it! No, you don't, Megatron!" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! De ha Destron no nakamaware wo takami no kenbutsu wo sharekomuka." / "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Then let's treat ourselves to the spectacle of a falling out among the Decepticons." "Yamenaika, Gong, ii kagen ni shiro! Kondo Perceptor wo bujoku shite miro. Kono watashi ga damatte inai zo." / "Stop it, Brawn! Enough, already! Just try and insult Perceptor next time. I will not remain silent." "Megatrooooon!" "Anatagata wo osotta no ha Destron no hakai gundan de, yatsura kara chikyuu wo sukuu no ga wareware no ninmu no da." / "The ones who attacked you are the destructive forces of the Decepticons. It is our mission to protect Earth from them." "Aa, Spike, watashi koso honmono no Convoy shireikan da. Tsumari watashi ga Cybertron no soushireikan de ari, kimi no tomo Convoy da yo." / "Yes, Spike, I am the real Commander Optimus Prime. 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! Provide the location of the Decepticon space bridge. Hurry!" Mode 3 ("The Unicron War", original movie lines, 9 lines total) "Omae no okage de nannin no Cybertron ga shinda." / "How many Autobots have died thanks to you?" "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.") "Meister, keibi joukyou ha dou natte iru?" / "Jazz, how's the security situation coming?" ("Jazz, report security status.") "Uuumu, mada da!" / "Rrrrh, not yet!" ((Pant pant) Never!") "Tatoe kono mi ga gisei ni narou to mo, Megatron ha taosu shika nai!" / "Even if it means sacrificing myself, Megatron must be stopped!" ("Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost.") Mode 4 ("The passing of the Matrix", 5 lines total) "Saa, daidai hiki-tsunagarete kita Matrix wo...leader no akashi wo...uketore." / "Now, accept the Matrix...the proof of leadership...passed down for generations." ("[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.") "Uchuu ga...hitotsu ni...matomaru made ha..." "Until...the universe...is brought together as one." ("Until...all...are one.") "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Aah, ii to mo, Bumble, omae no kibou douri, kore kara omae-san no koto wo Goldbug to yobou." / "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! No problem, Bumblebee. As you wish, from now on, we shall call you Goldbug." ("Ha ha! That you are, Bumblebee, so from now on, that's exactly who you'll be: Goldbug!") Mode 6 (Peter Cullen, 4 lines total, no translation necessary)

Never thought we would need a tutorial on how to bend a figures knees.

Remember when people complained that the movie toys were getting too complex to transform???

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.

1:03 When you spend almost $500 on a figure, it really makes you not want to throw the package

I don't know if he'll see this but I've been watching this channel for years and loved it thanks for giving us great reviews

49:00 Man, look how far they've come... From MP-10 to MP-44, it's truly astounding how much the masterpiece line has evolved. 😁

MP-1: Original G1 figure MP-10: Marvel comic MP-44: G1 cartoon

you *know* it's a needlessly complex transformation if Emgo cuts sections.

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.

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.

Me - "Why throw away your cash so recklessly". Emgo - "that's a question you should ask yourself". Me - "It'll rip up your money Emgo!" Like emgo's video if you get the reference

This the prototype of the masterpiece sky Lynx 20:20

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!"

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.

I think this is the best embodiment of G1 Prime, I absolutely adore this look and all of the features

Clever engineering but I still prefer MP-10

Hmm. To be honest, I still prefer the G1 toy look of the MP10 mold. It's still nice though, even if I'll never be able to afford it

Even though this MP-44 is amazing, My Toys R Us exclusive MP-10 Optimus Prime will always have a special place in my heart.

Thanks for being the 1st reviewer out of 5 to show the jet pack fitting on Sideswipe!

‟ what's in the bottom of your trailer?‟ ‟ oh just my extra heads‟

Oh my Prime, the leg transformation is surprising and genius.

This figure is not just a collectible toy, it is a work of art

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.

Your reviews kick arse ! Gotta give you props Emgo !! You did it justice

this has to be the longest review you've done emgo . i really appreciate all your hard work and time.

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.

When i heard Peter Cullen's voice i though need this figure now.

The magnets on the figures and the metal plates are a homage to the Diaclone original Convoy

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

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

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!

Only true g1 fans will understand the starscream head

41:22 The Starscream head is basically a teaser for Masterpiece 3.0 Starscream

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. ✊🤖

Awesome video, thanks so much for great transformation instructions...I’d never have made it through without your Masterpiece wisdom! 😁👍

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.

Second only to the upcoming Unicron, the most expensive TF figure ever. Thanks for sharing. :D

Can't wait for the 400 K special. We all love you Emgo!

41:11 "I've waited an eternity for this. It's over Prime." Jesus Primus. Now I know why the price is so high. Just the transformation is so complex, maybe even more complex than MP G1 Megatron. Edit: the added Starscream head raises the possibility of a MP Starscream 2.0. Takara Tomy...make it happen.

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

Just got my mp 44 today. Starting my collection all over. It's a beautiful work of art

Great review. Im still on the fence on buying or not, but always makes a point to watch your reviews!

Great review! Always check out your reviews during my daily commute on the train!

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.

Love the Megatron's Master Plan reference with the Starscream bits.

Another great review Emgo. Your ending bot sketches always have me laughing; keep it up!

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.

Emgo, as always, you’ve outshined yourself. Great review.

For something called a masterpiece, they sure do suggest otherwise with all their remakes.

Great review. Thanks for showing about the knees problem. Will be careful 👍

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!!

It looks good, a tad over enginered maybe. Mp10 still my favourite

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..🤩😚

Great review, it helped me with the transformation. Thanks! And I loved "this is bad comedy" moment at the end. :D Cheers.

Thanks for these videos. I just watched a bunch of these while I transformed all my MPs for display. Very handy because the instructions are sometimes terrible.

the leg alone is a deluxe class transformer

People think Unicron is too expensive yet buy this thing with no hesitation.

I am so surprised I made it through this video. 😂 very long BUT NECESSARY AND WORTH IT! Thanks Emgo as always for being so honest and thorough with your reviews. ❤Looking forward to hopefully get this guy someday as I'm still proud of my MP-10 but Jesus this new one is screaming for me to get it! 😄😂

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

How long until MP-10 is precious

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.

Emgo I just love the ending skit😂😂😂😂that was the best! You're my hero bro!🤘😄💯

I love the inthusiasum you put into your reviews

The bad thing is if I were to get this figure I would be paying almost $900 just to own this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Emgo, do you have a shelf dedicated to your Optimus Primes?

Top review as per usual. I love this figure (show accuracy, nice & fun transformation, though back to cab mode I struggle with the final steps having the gaz tanks alined). My only gripe is the fragile grey paint around the chest.. From now on, I'm off to blooshing !

Great review! I loved the engineering on this, at least from truck to bot mode. Haven't done the other way yet. I have a tab that won't peg on the arm tho, so it's time to get some Pledge revive it!

Yow been waiting for your review on MP44

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

never would have got through it without this video! Thanks a million!

I normally don't post. But I love your Videos Emgo. You always are so calm with the Transformation and make them seem so simple. And honestly, when I watch yours and follow your steps I never have an issue. Keep up the great videos brother, and I will keep on supporting your channel. Much love and respect to you and your family!

i was about to go to sleep now i got to watch ur vid

You can’t retire MP10. He’s almost as iconic to this channel as mascot!

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

Thank you so much for these videos we appreciate it Merry Christmas emgo

Prime collecting could be a hobby in itself.

Imagine being that guy on the assembly line having to put this together

There is a visual glitch at 18 minutes in, not sure what happened there but yeah thats a thing. Fantastic review as always, great to see another vid even if it takes a wile between uploads. Keep up the good work!

wow you made that transformation look so much better and smooth thumbs up

I love this overly complicated transformation. It looks satisfying

Emgo: *Transforms prime.* Me: "WUT IS GOIN' ON?!"

The only review I've been waiting for!!

This review helped me alot when handling the figure. I love having it and I don't regret my purchase

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.

I’m loving that transformation. Great reaction:)

dude that ending skit was funny as hell especially when megatron said so was that i lol'd so much

"BLEUSCH." -Emgo

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.

Out of all the primes this is the best one Also great video man

FINALLY! Best MP-44 transformation video on KZfaq.

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!

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...

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.

Love your videos “Emgo”! Been watching your videos for a couple years. Surprised I JUST NOW subscribed!!! Sorry! (I have a G1 Optimus) You rock!

Really hope it's released in the US at a lower price. Totally worth $250.
