It’s so hard to choose honestly. They both look great for different reasons. I saw this comment somewhere else, but it seems magic square is replacing MP10 whereas TE is competing with MP44.

Yeah, i'm finding that out. I would love to just say screw it and get MP-44, or try to find an MP-10 that isn't stupidly overpriced. Sadly I think it's going to come down to one of these guys. I think over all I like Transform Element with the only things I wish he had was the bulkier lower legs of the Magic Square and I wish the feet weren't on the side but rather the middle like it should be, the good thing is I could get the second head which is better for Transform Element with the second release. For the Magic Square, one of the few things I wish was that he didn't have the "baseball cap bill" looking thing on his head. I do prefer the colors of the Magic Square though. The Transform Element looks more toyish while the Magic Square looks better. Tough choice, kind of leaning to Transform Element based solely on the facts that I really wish Mp-44 was cheaper so I could pick him up and also because I honestly think this one might be easier to get a hold of. The Magic Element is kind of falling in to the Mp-10 realm where it's either harder to find than I would like, I'm not sure if it's a crappy bootleg instead of the proper figure, or some jerk is charging too much.

@@joeydahl9594 Why not get a Wei Jiang MPP10? It's an excellent figure, and considerably more affordable than getting the official release. Much bigger too and the way they made his lower legs that little bit longer than MP10's eliminates the monkey arm issue the original had. Really good quality figure; probably even better quality than the original. I got two of them on eBay. One to mess around with and the other theoretically for display but he's still languishing in his box😃

I found it very interesting that the kids like the TE version which is more cartoon accurate and the adults like the MS version which I also like because it's a little more stylized. I like these videos. I think you do a pretty good job of being objective and showing where one loses points vs giving it the point because you like it better. I'd like to see a cyclonus vs vid xtransbots vs fanstoys, Bad cube vs takara lambos, unique toys vs zeta toys bruticus. Thanks for the videos

I think it’s also worth noting that while MS-01 has a thigh swivel, the leg articulation is better on TE-01. MS-01 cannot bring the legs 90° forward although, I do prefer the leg ratchets on it. Also, MS-01 has waist articulation due to the hinge system but, I feel it’s only due to being necessary for the transformation and it breaks up the sculpt. I love both, I own copies of both but, I prefer TE over MS. I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with either figure. Pick them both up, if you can.

After a lot of deliberation, I'm going with the metallic version of Magic Square's offering. Bobby, your videos covering each of these separately and this "VS" video helped me considerably.

I'm sticking with MP-10 until something scratches all my itches. I'd like to see what Fans Toys can do.

I chose the Magic Square and I love him. I love the way he looks and has a great presence on my shelf. Things about the TE one just look weird to me. The head sculpt and the break in the top of his helmet do not appeal to me. I could nitpick some things here and there on my Magic Square, and some tweaks would make him even better (Some paint tweaks, and I think the plates by his cheeks ought go higher up on his face cheeks, etc) but I'm extremely pleased with him. In any case, both of them make me find the official MP44 unappealing where concerns it's messy, big backpacked, kibble-y, cut-up look (and the visible red plastic in leg gaps etc) and, of course, price!!

I had the Ms and Te. I have to disagree with Bobby. The TE definitely has the better presence. It’s why both kids and his wife pick it out of the two. TE’s proportions works better in relation to MP36. (Smaller upper body to leg length and width). As far as materials I just keep asking myself if the build was switched meaning if MS had TE’s build would the transformation be a bear? And vice versa. I think if TE used the same plastic all around as MS, its transformation would break the thing in half.

You say the secondary hinge on the magic square elbow is meaningless, but combined with the primary hinge (which gives you 90% of bend) when the "meaningless" elbow rotation is in the right direction, the two together give you a full range elbow bend that goes further than the TE version.

An unbiased opinion is still an opinion nonetheless which by definition comes his personal preferences. The “unbiased” part means be is sponsored by neither MS or TE and that he won’t benefit by putting one above the other. Because when it comes to an objectively standpoint, both are so close that the only thing that‘s really the deciding factor is your own subjectivity and what you prefer in an optimus figure.

To anyone looking at the TE-01, the MP-44/Movie Head is included with TE-01 OP Leader version 3.0 and the teeth ratchets are spaced closer together. I own two of the TE-01 because I wanted to customize one of them. I also own two Magic Square figures, MS-01X Light of Freedom (Metallic) and MS-02EX Light of Peace. After owning and messing with all of them this is how I would put it. If transforming a figure is important to you get TE-01 OP leader Version 3.0. The plastic is very durable and can stand up to multiple transformations without the plastic feeling fatigued or brittle. The Magic Square plastic just doesn't feel as good when transforming the figures. If you want a more realistic but striking Optimus Price, get MS-01. Like Bobby said he looks beefier. He looks like a strong commander. He is also more articulated than TE-01. If you value articulation overall get MS-02EX. The EX version has the best finish but it isn't paint. The figure has paint embedded into the plastic giving it a painted look without the worry of paint chipping. I, however, do think painted over plastic looks better like Fans Toys does their figures. Paint infused plastic is a good alternative though. The articulation on MS-02 is the best out of the three and I was even able to get MS-02 into a crouching pose. MS-01 can do it but it doesn't look as good because that version of the character should look more imposing. Honestly I enjoy and display all three on different shelves that make each one shine.

I prefer the MS too, would literally never buy the TE at any price, but this video made me realize something. If someone is attempting as objective a measure as possible, intent matters. Like on a cooking show or whatever, where no matter how good the steak is, Sorry Sir But We Asked For A Soufle. And the TE is ABSOLUTELY closer to the cartoon. Of course, that's what I don't like about it, but impossible to not credit objectively. And you're right, a screen cap exists for everything, but if we're real, that TE looks like 90% of what you'll see on screen. So if a collector is looking for an improved/replacement MP10, MS is perfect IMO, but if the goal is a cartoon accurate MP collection, TE nailed it. Anyway, great vid, appreciate the hard work.

Also, since I may have to cancel my MP044 order, I wanted something more show accurate which TE does nearly perfectly. I also got the v2 head which is much better. I am considering the Magic Square mould for Nemesis Prime though. I prefer "mould mates" to look a little different. The beefier Magic Square will help him look more like a Decepticon.

The MS version has a super accurate ab crunch because it demonstrates that too much ab crunching will expose Prime's spine LOL

Bobby, can you do an updated versus of the MS01X+ and TE-01 Cell shaded?

I have the Transform Element. It comes with two different heads, one more season 1 and the other more of a season 2 look. Apparently the spacing between the eyses changed.

I also think MS is similar to Open and Play, encouraging messing around with the figure without worry of paint chipping

Booth look nice, but not worth switching out MP10 for. I would like to see both companies do repaints for these though. Magicsquare could have an impressive SG Prime.

JUST picked up a Magic Square Prime. I feel a lil better about my choice after seeing this vid, even though it's got a few years on it.

Good analyzing both products. I too like MS over TE (slightly), but you cant go wrong with either so I got both.

Can we celebrate the fact that we finally have a masterpiece-style Optimus Prime that doesn't cheat with a fake grill?

Thanks for this! So close to pulling the trigger on the TE but holding out for some news about their updated version.

@@kinjapleb4228 I think I heard there might be a v2, but it seems like there is a designer that is making a replacement head that is more like Magic Square's sculpt.

I'm curious to see how you will view the MP-44 because TE0-1 and MP-44 have MUCH in common

Toe tilts make for instability. They look cool for posing though. Too bad their isn’t a method to lock them until needed.

I’m realizing more and more that I appreciate stylization more than pure cartoon accuracy. I actually like Mightron or Despotron more than mp36 there’s just something off to me

Hello Bobby. I love both but in terms of quality I think TE-01 has more die cast, the plastic is more solid,I prefer the long biceps, the stomach grill is more cartoon accurate, the Cannon lights up. This is the one I’m waiting to buy. But I prefer de magic square head-sculpt, the chrome in the grill and smoke stacks, the transformation is simpler, but the plastic is lighter for me that’s a bummer, the Matte paint is not for me. The beefy looks is more like they go for MP-10 than the actual cartoon. The lack of die-cast is a Nono for me. But magic square joints are better and better articulation not for much but better. But that’s my opinion. Another thing, Takara prices are killing us now, $120 for bumblebee 2.0 and almost $500 for Optimus fells like Takara wants the competition to make K.O. With that amount you can buy a soul of chogokin DX great mazinger or 2 hot toys. I know some people hate k.o’s but Takara is to blame. Later Bobby love your channel peace🤘🏽

I've bought both but sold the MS. I just like the whole TE ecstatic more. It looks more like the cartoon. The MS has the better HS.
