Magic Square LIGHT OF FREEDOM (Optimus Prime): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@DrakeyC]

A true marvel of Transformer engineering. Looks fantastic in both modes, bright bold colors, clean and compact transformation, lots of nice little details. This is a Masterpiece Figure in all but name.

[@claytoncarmine6725]

DrakeClawfang also as I was looking at the figure while it’s in vehicle mode everything fits nicer and shows little to gap between transformation seams. (It looks like it’s all one piece)

[@RandomEnterprises.]

It’s Chinese witch craft

[@jamesbable9118]

I love the fact that the engineering of this Prime hides all his tires. That's ingenious.

Me seeing the grills before watching: Don't do that. Don't give me hope. After watching: True grill, removable matrix, battle damage, 0 kibble, weapons that don't replace the hands, fully-posable fingers, rubber tires. This is the Chick-Fil-A of Optimus toys, they really went that extra mile to make it look awesome in both modes, the grill is just the cherry on top.

So let me get this straight. This figure looks just as good as MP-44 in robot mode. And the Vehicle mode looks good. And the back isn't the size of a moon. AND The transformation isn't HELL!? Wizzardry.

The axe is perfect because it can be on any hand of this "not prime" toy but the one thing I don't like about the axe is to me looks small

[@davidhovik7176]

That's literally the head scratcher for me.

[@aos5245]

It’s a bit underwhelming

[@shawndashno6022]

It's actually surprisingly accurate to that "one moment, in that one episode," of him fighting Megatron on the dam. It looks small in that entire scene, so I'm actually cool with it. Besides, I don't really care for 100% cartoon accuracy, it makes figures flat and uninteresting. I prefer some detail, as opposed to just blocks for limbs. 😂

[@bradycassell8916]

This is the first prime figure in a longtime that I have practically fallen in love with. Absolutely beautiful

[@writer_brook]

This figure is honestly breathtaking. The engineering is absolutely astounding and so clean. I am definitely going to pick this up. Absolutely blown away

One of the best transformations of Prime. Everything (almost) has its function, not a lot of fakery or kibble

Val Seid MP 10 is hard to beat but this figure has it beat but I will say MP 10 ecstatically fits better with the older MP figures

[@cyberfire7191]

Dank Memer I mean Are g1 figures which came out 30 years ago better then RID 2015 toys and I'm not saying mp 10 is smoked out of the park but this just looks so good and besides MP 10 held the record in my books was the best Optimus prime figure hands down So id say yeah it is a fair comparison Because MP 10 let's be honest is still incredible but I will say though damn this figure is incredible and it might be bias towards the cartoon speaking but damn but I also under stand that MP 10 was trying to fit with what masterpiece was doing before they went full cartoon mode which in some cases I like other cases I don't like

Transform Element's version is the most accurate imo, but it has less articulation (enough to pose him decently so dont worry) and a more complicated transformation (don't worry its not another Ultra Maxmas).

[@rabbittank8685]

Now that is what you call a g1 Optimus prime straight from the show accuracy

Even though MP-44 has taken this by storm, this figure still remains the only Optimus MP that does not use a fake grille for the stomach. As such, this will be the figure I buy over any of the others.

[@abraiscool6872]

in the thumbnail, it looks like a model the figure looks so good!

[@joshcrandall8428]

He definitely looks cleaner than V3 and seems to be as well articulated. I think the only thing left is preferences on paint and proportions. I personally like a bot that has beefier and more exaggerated proportions like this. So, this guy is a winner for me all around. I also like the finish on him- the matte finish seems to match the cartoon more than something covered in shiny paint.

I got this a few days ago, and Magic Square has my attention. It's a zero kibble upgrade from MP-10 with fantastic poseability. Not as cartoon accurate as MP-44, but the legs are 50 steps fewer than Takara's version. I just sold the Masterpiece Megatron, so I'm optimistic about a Magic Square Megatron in the near future.

Holy shit, that transformation was amazing. Not only was it spot on smooth, it made it look EASY!

Masterpiece size without the Masterpiece price! I have always been amazed by how sophisticated the engineering is with the 3rd party Transformers. So glad that Hasbro or Takara didn't sue them for likeness. We have come a long way from ugly robots, to robots with back packs and now to cartoon accurate versions!

Considering they've reissued this recently (with metal paint), I think this will do nicely for a masterpiece-style Optimus (besides, the more recent Light of Peace costs £50 British Pounds more).

[@denozed6554]

The more I see this figure the more I want one. I will hold off though. Have to admire the transformation process of the torso paying homage to the original mp01. The grill becomes the actual robot grill just wow. The legs are so clean I understand the complex transformation needed to achieve it and admire the engineering. Only thing that could have made this perfect is diecast feet and chest and fully articulated fingers. The plastic quality does look absolutely beautiful though. Damn it might have to get him.
